Taker of Life
Human shapes, identical uniforms Wire mesh narrowly encloses Blank sights, rugged souls World closed, idle and scarred Outcasts of a common sense Deeply thrown into a dark hole of madness Seems like asylum to the lost Waste yard of a society reformed Walls raised by fear The affectionate face of slow extermination Outcasts of a common sense Deeply thrown into a dark hole of madness The end, redemption dragged by time The end, written on the cold walls

Mouths are stitched As memory is fading, The era of silence begun Rotting comes from within Drain the blood of one another, Feast with each gutted hope A lifetime crawling into mud, In wastage, perishing Before you came out of the mire, You’ve bitten the hand Ungrateful leech Drain the blood of one another, Feast with each gutted hope You are the shadow, you are the light Devouring life on the way to thrive self defeated, self consumed Blissful ignorance, exalt your tragedy

Submissive herd under the blade Sad harvest of the black curse The eyes of fear reflecting desperation Hopelessly begging for a merciful end Let the sickle fall down Upon them Cut through life’s tenuous thread Giver of death Taker of life / giver of death Rusted guilt, pierce through the skin Scapegoats on this starless night The blooded scythe swings over and over again Until no heads are raised Let the sickle fall down Upon them Cut through life’s tenuous thread Giver of death Taker of life / giver of death Blade / curse / fear Desperation / night / merciless end

20 feet under the living In the musty wall cell Dirty and malnourished Captive in complete isolation Can’t be reached by the light Can’t be reached by hope Once you walked down the stairs You were on your own Gagged squeals Unidentifiable, blooded face Cut, bruised and swollen Limbs nailed, neck chained Can’t be reached by the light Can’t be reached by hope Once you walked down the stairs You were on your own Hardly breathing, bled out Broken bones and stripped out Who will go down the stairs next? Hope for death...

Between high dead ruins Through the mortal's turmoil Curse is marching, driven by wrath Followed by victory and grief Followed by victory and grief Thorns and nails will pave the way Thorns and nails Foolishness, greed and deceit A choking whirlwind comes crushing Thinking is dominated, the body is timeworn Human remains, Human remains, Mud and dried blood Thorns and nails will pave the way Thorns and nails Thorns and nails will pave the way Thorns and nails The snakes, the vultures, the beasts Are crawling and howling with fury The stench of mutilated corpses Cannibalistic endless feast

Infected land, of immune gods Servants restrained, civil solitude raising despair Fraudulent faith Insidious poison seeped to into logic Maleficent paradise Insidious poison seeped to into logic Instincts prevail, last drop of humanity drained Order decayed over the corpse of tolerance Hungry hounds on a backlash rampage Concrete soaked in fellow blood The plundered life's pyre faded to dusk
