Expatriate Lyrics by Heaven Shall Burn

Of Truth and Sacrifice

2020

These are the final days
Of your pharisaic unconcern
So just stand back
And witness the fall
Of modern Babylon!
New empires rose from ashes
And they will fall to dust
Just like these everlasting fortresses will burn
Believed to be untouchable
Invulnerable
Not taken by an alien army
But eroded
And weakened from within
By rotten dogma
And indifference
Awake!
Now fools will be your leaders
And these jesters are your only hope?
Drowning in decadence and degeneration
As inbred modes of thought
Will degrade all of your cultures
This elitism has lead you down the darkest path
Take up the baton
This is not the time for declining battles
Never stop disputing
Never stop the struggle
This enemy is wide awake
And willing to march way ahead of us!
They all preach harmony
But they just promote surrender
And their poisoned peace will suffocate!
As liars rise to speak
Yes, we shall wander this world
As wolves among sheep
Yet, they shall not claim these words!
They will not take this mind!
And here I stand
I can do no other!
I come into this unforgiving conflict
So deep within the darkest abyss
Excommunicated, expatriated
But still fighting amidst the heart of blackness
No longer am I misled by your deceitful hopes
Embracing the certitude of victory
The triumph of integrity
This is my strife
For all eternity
Und wie die Motten um das Licht
So tanzt Du weiter um das Feuer, das die Welt verbrennt
Stehst lauthals lachend
Und doch taub und blind vor einem unbestechlichen Gericht
Das Licht von Schatten
Das Existenz von Nichtsein trennt
Dein geschundenes Herz
Geknechtet und betrogen
Von falschen Träumen, Verblendung und unsäglicher Vernunft
Klagt Dich und Deine eitlen Götter endlich an!
Dort steigt kein milder Nebel der Vergessenheit
Es fällt kein Tuch des Schweigens über all die Zweifel
All die Lügen!
Denn Dein Wissen siegte niemals über deine Taten
Du hast verstanden und gesehen
Doch niemals aufbegehrt
Hier triffst Du die Wahrhaftigkeit
Erbarmungslos
Doch auch gerecht und rein
Ein kalter, klarer Blick in stille Tiefen Deines Seins
Aus diesem Abgrund starren Dich
Hellwach, die Augen aller Deiner Ängste an
Und tausend Stimmen Deiner Feinde
Verkünden eine hohe Wahrheit
Die wohl niemals vor in Dein Gewissen drang:
Eure Führer
Eure Farben
All Eure geliebten Staaten
Und alles, was Euch heilig ist
Sind nichts als Treibgut
In den ewigen Gezeiten
Von Aufstieg
Herrschaft
Niedergang!
