lyrics

There was a time when a fire would do
And the ashes would cover the face of the Moon
But something has changed, twisted inside of you
The ashes you needed have turned into a lust for blood

I kill in your name, despite all your claims
Victims of your natural violations
Sealed in our fate, consumed in your flames
And history will call you mad and a genius

Everything changed and the fire has too
The places you burn linger inside of you
The power has gone and made you a fool
You scramble, in vain, to find something taboo

I kill in your name, despite all you claim
Victims of your natural violation
Sealed in our fate, consumed in your flames
And history will call you mad and a genius

Devils above and angels below
The blood of your victims will cover the face of the Moon
