lyrics

How can this sorrow reach
Across such a fertile land?

As acid rain is pouring down,
Our whispers seep
Into the soil

Beneath stone and painted skies
A serpent-tongued beast commands legions
To reprise
Flawed philosophies
And stratagem
Resolved long ago
To feed their gluttony
With no respect for sovereignty

But in all eventualities to come
Are truths ever noble
Which can't be undone

Whether by pike or by gun
We'll render their flesh
And reunite under this
Sacrifice

With this lamentation I beckon
Observe whats before you
With impassioned eyes
Count the atrocities
Lost dignities
The rape of our mothers

The hand of a society
Which murders its brothers
While spilling blood for the enemy
As one with their wine
They are a blight on our fields
A plague to our tribe

But one
Path is clear
Accept, I implore,
Receive this
Sacrifice

Hestia
Asphyxia
Hestia
Our fire dies

How can this sorrow reach
Across such a fertile land?

As acid rain is pouring down,
Our whispers seep
Into the soil

With the indoctrination of the neophyte
With the perversion of our throne
In this feral place cyclopean
We'll salt the earth above their bones

Now, when old gods come
To purge and renew this land

The rain will wash away their ash
Their whispers will seep
Into the soil
