Cyclic War

As we enter the thorns Hope bleeding away The same fixations reborn Eternal birth and decay Cyclic war As we walk through a storm We disconnect from the past The same destruction reborn Each decade bleeds like the last Right! Cyclic war Slow! Coven of Snakes Deciders of fate Waiting in the night For the sacrificial right Fire will rain On the moralistic slaves Death shall reign By the order of the flame Betrayers of life Purveyors of lies The chalice and the knife Everything dies Fire will rain On the moralistic slaves Death shall reign By the order of the flame Cyclic war Cyclic war As we follow the path of history Our heads raised to the sun We watch the eternal sideshow Of 'humanity' and 'inhumanity' Fighting against itself Fanciful in their self deceit Mankind has convinced itself that it can bend Distort and contain our very nature That it can reimagine itself free from nature That it can shape its own destiny In the quest to become God Mankind upholds a lie A lie that will never be true They try to distance themselves from reality But the cycles of life and death enslave us But some refuse to be slaves in life We want to live! We stand in the ellipsis of good and evil
