Heaven Shall Burn - Deaf To Our Prayers lyrics



Tracks



01. Counterweight

Unrelenting
Their endeavour to rule lives
Teaching you
An artificial truth

That you will grieve no more
That you will die no more
Narrow minded mercenaries
Slave traders, soul collectors

Send a promise of destruction
To those who will not kneel
Derision of the upright ones
As fear devours all doubts
As fear devours all doubts

There are so many things
I hold beyond their reach
The doom you promised me
May come, I'm not afraid

You cannot save me
I am the counterweight
No need to save me
For I'm the counterweight

And I will grieve no more
And I will die no more

There are so many things
I hold beyond their reach
The doom you promised me
May come, I'm not afraid

You cannot save me
I am the counterweight
No need to save me
For I'm the counterweight

You cannot save me
I am the counterweight
No need to save me
For I'm the counterweight

02. Trespassing The Shores Of Your World

Blood trickles away
Trickles away in the sand
All hope crushed, perished in the border fences
Of a secure stronghold

We crossed this lost world
So much distress we have seen
The home we left behind
It offered nothing but despair
Nothing but despair

Under the veil of darkness
We marched for endless years
For endless years

Beyond the silver bright horizon
A brave new world exists
Beyond the silver bright horizon

Trespassing the shores of your world
Piles of dead bodies at the walls of Fortress Europe
Cast a shadow on your paradise
Oblivion and apathy will keep you warm

A continent beyond recovery
Like dark invaders they receive us
A gaping wound in the flesh of this earth
A bleeding they refuse to staunch

Trespassing the shores of your world
Piles of dead bodies at the walls of Fortress Europe
Cast a shadow on your paradise
Oblivion and apathy will keep you warm

A continent beyond recovery
Like dark invaders they receive us
A gaping wound in the flesh of this earth
A bleeding they refuse to staunch

Trespassing the shores of your world
Piles of dead bodies at the walls of Fortress Europe
Cast a shadow on your paradise
Oblivion and apathy will keep you warm

03. Profane Believers

Loosing touch with reality
In your world of plenty it's so easy to preach love
Holier than thou, your order that shall rule
Yet, at the walls of your cathedrals
Poor sinners starve to death
Poor sinners starve to death

Ungodly wastefulness and petrified profanity
Materialized in golden temples
Within the walls of Babylon
Profane believers follow their fateful leaders

Our world is up in arms
The time has come to bid farewell
A true belief will rule
Our true belief will rule

A pure commitment will blow away
An unreal constitution

Ungodly wastefulness and petrified profanity
Materialized in golden temples
Within the walls of Babylon
Profane believers follow their fateful leaders

Ungodly wastefulness and petrified profanity
Materialized in golden temples
Within the walls of Babylon
Profane believers follow their fateful leaders

04. Stay The Course

Consistent, pushing aside all disbelief
Abandon my friends, my home
Losing my mother tongue
But I will bear this heavy loss
This heavy loss!

Former brothers calling me betrayer
And burned the words we wrote

I will overcome
I will overcome

Solaced by this certainty
This delusion will fade
Solaced by this certainty
This delusion will fade

Our words of reason
Lost in the roar of the cadence
The beacon of humanity
Beclouded by their cold, black sun
In the scattered light
Of all your torches his rotten face
Seems like a savior's smile to you
To you!

Consistent, pushing aside all disbelief
Abandon my friends, my home
Losing my mother tongue
But I will bear this heavy loss
This heavy loss!

An army of lost sons still hidden in the dark
A voice of an enslaved nation
A force of banished daughters
We have to stay the course!
Consistent, without anguish!

We have to stay the course!
We have to stay the course!
Consistent, without anguish!

We may sow the seeds
Of upheaval just from the outside
But with burning hearts we shall recur
With burning hearts we shall recur
We shall recur!

05. The Final March

This is the call to arms, the final call
Exchanged the shuttle for the sword
For generations we slaved away
In the shadows of their towers

The world we know, a torture-chamber
Born as servants, exploited till death
Exploited till death

To their machines we're marching
With Captain Ludd in mind

The final march begins, down with all kings
The shroud we weave completed
The air we breathe is not the stench of slavery
Down with the king!
Down with all kings!

Winter-withered bodies
Souls sunken into misery
Our minds and future
As black as our masters' hearts

Now we engage the enemy
The web we weave completed
We weave completed

To their machines we're marching
With Captain Ludd in mind

The final march begins, down with all kings
The shroud we weave completed
The air we breathe is not the stench of slavery
Down with the king!
Down with all kings!

Can't wait for God to judge those monsters
A religion that just mocks us and justifies this misery

The final march begins, down with all kings
The shroud we weave completed
The air we breathe is not the stench of slavery
Down with the king!
Down with all kings!

06. Of No Avail

Skywards, the prayers we sent, of no avail
No fear of death will walk among us
Almost too limb to throw the stones
Marching into darkness
Bowed down with grief and marked by enslavement

All the prayers we sent, of no avail
They went unheard
Of no avail, the lives we gave

Our weakened legs and tattered shoes
Will cause no sound on icy streets
Almost too weak to cry out the spell
His servants won't slow down our steps

Blood red will be those streets
And burning castles we'll leave

All the prayers we sent, of no avail
They went unheard
Of no avail, the lives we gave
The lives we gave
The lives we gave

Cursed be the God who was deaf to our prayers
Cursed be the God who was deaf to us

As we died in freedom
Their machines broke down for a day
As we died in freedom
Their machines broke down for a day

07. Armia

An insurrection of the lost
With courage born from despair
An end for the years of anguish
A battle in the nation's heart

Uprising of the lost
In the abyss between the worlds
They all averted their eyes
A home behind the enemy's lines

They raped and burned our fatherland
We know that nothing shall remain
(There's no tomorrow)
We'll bring it to an end
(There's no tomorrow)

Uprising of the lost
In the abyss between the worlds
They all averted their eyes
A home behind the enemy's lines

Our souls scorched with our homes
But fitful we hold our ground
Our souls scorched with our homes
But fitful we hold our ground

Uprising of the lost
The world averted its eyes
Red vultures awaiting our end
A home behind the enemies lines

Ragged figures but brothers and sisters we are
Through fields of debris we crawl
Red vultures awaiting our end
A home behind the enemies lines
The enemies lines

08. MyBestFriends.com

Are you still the one I used to know?
Where is the fire in your eyes?
Do you remember all the things we used to share?
Your strong words gave hope to me so many times
But now there's only silence when we meet

These are the darkest of your days
Where are your thousand friends?
And who will guide you through the nights
As all the lights went out?
The lights went out

In the darkness of your room
The only moment you feel free
The solidarity you feel
Is only solitude you share

These are the darkest of your days
Where are your thousand friends?
And who will guide you through the nights
As all the lights went out?

This is where they want you to be
Wasting all your thoughts and passion
The solidarity you feel
Is only solitude you share
Solitude you share

Your strong words gave hope to me so many times
But now there's only silence when we meet

These are the darkest of your days
Where are your thousand friends?
And who will guide you through the nights
As all the lights went out?
Went out
All the lights went out

09. Biogenesis (Undo Creation)

An overbearing dogma in disguise
Superstition displacing all reality
Debasing mother nature
And dreaming of intelligent design

Let sanity prevail!
Let sanity prevail!

Adulterated doctrine
So abstruse
Beyond all reason
And apart from any evidence

Let sanity prevail!
Let sanity prevail!

Defending Darwin's throne
Idolizing supreme forces
While trampling down creation

Unable to accept
Their unimportance, insignificance
Insignificance, their insignificance

Prospecting vindication for existing misery
Scorn this indoctrination
Pressed on by a profane confraternity
Shame for the summit of creation
Where blind belief and science meet

Let sanity prevail!
Let sanity prevail!

Let sanity prevail!
Let sanity prevail!

Defending Darwin's throne
Let sanity prevail!

10. Dying In Silence

How many times can they bend your will
Until you break and die inside?
Is there still a heartfelt discomfort in you?
Deep down inside to live these lies
Addicted to goodwill and grace
Donated from your master's hand
Addicted to goodwill

On bleeding knees you're waiting for the answers
Annihilation of your spirits
Dreams die in silence and piece by piece you go with them
Forsaken and unseen
Forsaken and unseen

Always accepting the inevitable
Won't make you find your peace
There is no substitute for your lost dignity
No one shall ever poison the worlds in you
No one shall ever poison the worlds in you

The treasures in your heart
At the end of a life there's only black and white
There's only black and white

Addicted to goodwill

Dreams die in silence and piece by piece you go with them
Forsaken and unseen
Forsaken and unseen

With gazing eyes you're hoping for a sign
Annihilation of your spirits
Dreams die in silence and piece by piece you go with them
Forsaken and unseen
Forsaken and unseen

Dreams die in silence and piece by piece you go with them
Forsaken and unseen
Forsaken and unseen

Only flames of sorrow light your way through the night
Your hands will never touch his face

As you poison the river of life
Erasing the greatest gift of god
All you need is yourself
