Decapitated - Blood Mantra lyrics



Tracks



01. Exiled In Flesh

Music by Wacław VOGG Kiełtyka
Lyrics by Rafał RASTA Piotrowski
Awaken again into my daymare
Location unknown, memory zero
Vision distorted, sound muted, mind lost
Slowly stabilising, removing self paranoia
Reconstructing reality from pieces
Till discovering the common sense between here, now and why
These severe answers cut my screaming tongue
Detain a nomad soul in my motionless flesh
Haunted by desires, sat in this fucking chair
I won't fade in a dumb row crawling between the defeated
My ears still follow the notes, veins pulse with the rhythm
Well-known faces open wide my eyes
Acidic air fills my lungs
Awakened senses assault!
These living shapes, noises from the world outside
Exiled inside myself again, ready to wake up!

02. The Blasphemous Psalm To The Dummy God Creation

Music by Wacław VOGG Kiełtyka
Lyrics by Rafał RASTA Piotrowski
Vermin-plundered void inside
City flash melts the wax soul
Sewed myself shut in speechless mouth
Could it be the promised land?

Elysium, Eden - the abandoned search
Non-essential deific light, eclipsed in vivid world
The only eternal form: Eternity in formalin
Couldn't find their own selves, expecting the guide

Those who shall remain in shadow
Always shine the most
The mortal visage is more familiar
Mellifluous whisper sublimates their egos
The blasphemous psalm to the dummy-god creation

If it only could melt the inner self
If it could bring relief
I would sign in!

03. Veins

Music by Wacław VOGG Kiełtyka
Lyrics by Rafał RASTA Piotrowski
Marked as a"new human breed", with the face ripped from the amorphic body
Half breathing to not disturb this order.
Wired to a demo-god, upgrading the faith, downloading the holy soul-ware
Saved or just safe?
Data flooding a weak brain, confused mind under mass media control
Submissively taking the nourishment until it pukes with cybernetic dope

New age has come, shiny screens display the true world
How many bytes are you worth?
You get a "sweet" and it does the trick
Be a clown or get the throne through knowing "more"?

Mental extermination machines, pumping shit into the brains
Global factories mass-producing the new kind of man
The numbered model scalped of identity, steered and deafened
I cut the wires, I wrestle with the veins
Must disconnect!

Millions of clones, humanoidal folk, being bred and dying
Suffering the same kind of dole
Touching the throne, the invisible throne, are the kings of lethargy
Chained to the fake crown
Serving the gods, the digital gods, on the altar of stripped privacy
Fucking system's sluts!

04. Blood Mantra

Music by Wacław VOGG Kiełtyka
Lyrics by Rafał RASTA Piotrowski
Through centuries leading their wars.
Armed with crucifixes. Hardened with dogmas.
Ravaging, cursing and murdering every Proteus.
I heard faith is a weapon. To protect or kill?
If you want me, find me a faith not raised from ruins.
Find me a god with non dirty hands.
And I will be your assassin.

Eternal struggle - exchange of souls.
Seven billions of souls. And there is no free trade.
If god is a ware, who is the businessman?
Innocent merchant with familiar face
Is kindly trying to strike a bargain.
Priceless currency, salvation for sale.
A unique offer?!
Who likes fairy tales?

Instinct calls for destruction.
Prayers will muffle their screams.
Good Lord will drink this blood.
Every divinity demands sacrifice.
Every sacrifice needs divine purposes.
This is blood mantra.
A universal rite.

Divided by symbols, possessed by laws
Throats cut for power,
Rebels choked on their blood
Temples carved in red stone
Altars from looted gold
Sanctification by slaughter
Absolution by doom
Saviours impaled on their thrones
The reaper's dancing around
Vicious circle rolls on

I see the cultures - fed by the same earth breast
I see the races - watered by the same earth veins
I see all the chosen nations - sharing the same breath (as me)
I saw civilisations burnt - their blood soaked into this earth
I saw gods raised from their ashes
Under different names
I saw devouring hate
Driven by fear of otherness.

05. Nest

Music by Wacław VOGG Kiełtyka
Lyrics by Rafał RASTA Piotrowski
Experience your race
You are the son of the hostile nest
Dormant, damned skills, and mercy-proof eyes
Black gates to its core. Welcome to the swarm!
Grind your sting, pull out the tongue, forget speech, impale claws
Ready to attack, always bites back twice.
Banish the Decalogue, the strongest shape the law
Never lower the eyes, the weak ones lose at once
Born in pain, bring the pain.
Burnish bloody, priceless craft!

Inner crusade, man against the beast
Or beast against the anthropic man?
Eternal search for thyself
The delusion of triumph
The burden of plague
Human ever-equal death!
Humanize yourself - die!
Or incarnate the beast - strike!
Seal the cursed fate
The wrath is the way. Discover its taste
The virgin hit - a furious release
Don't move a step back!
This is the lethal symphony of nature

Experience your race!
You are the son of the hostile nest
Dormant, damned skills, and mercy-proof eyes
Black gates to its core. Welcome to the swarm!
Grind your sting, pull out the tongue, forget speech, impale claws.
Ready to attack.

Born in pain, bring the pain
Burnish bloody, priceless craft.

06. Instinct

Music by Wacław VOGG Kiełtyka
Lyrics by Rafał RASTA Piotrowski
Hunting for some satisfaction?
Follow the species hidden under royalty of our kind
Instinct and treacherous mother Evolution
Left the beast standing at your side
Congratulations! You are the highest of the links...
But remember! You can't deny what you are

Couldn't it be different
Cause we are the whores of the porn generation
Nude witches on the walls
Lewd spell cast on media trash
Listen to their voices lilt
Can you hear them, calling for your animal?
Inquisition of paraphiliac minds

Orgasmic value rules the aphrodisiac world
Fuck for money!
Fuck for name!
Fuck for money!
Fuck for fame!

Masked with exquisite lives
Avoid taboo world, taboo world
The forbidden world of primal pleasures
There is no freedom in our nature
Whenever you reach!
Whatever you achieve!
Whoever you are!
There is no freedom in our nature!

07. Blindness

Music by Wacław VOGG Kiełtyka
Lyrics by Rafał RASTA Piotrowski
Kin after kin and day after day
We were waiting. Searching for answers
Admiring sharp signs on a liquid horizon
Prophetic words, ominous phenomena
And the wise Mayans' calculations Betrayed their own destiny
Failed us!

Some had prepared for this show
Dug their salvation underground
Concrete paradise raised for the chosen ones
Deep enough to be deaf, bury remorses on the surface
Blind enough to wander in the dark of own madness.

Prophetic words, ominous phenomena
And the wise Mayans' calculations
Betrayed their own destiny
Failed us!

I've never known our beginning
But I've found the end
Doom lies in every creature
Under the human crest

09. Moth Defect

Music by Wacław VOGG Kiełtyka
Lyrics by Rafał RASTA Piotrowski
I'm writhing among my brothers
Vigilant and distrustful
Enemy among predators
Always traced by the others
Hatching the lifeshell
That I used to wear
Absorbing paramorphosed reality

No one will lead the blind!
No one will call the numb!
Follow superior's principles
No prayers, our silence is our speech
No bread, our fear is our feed
No light, our blindness is our hope
No warmth, our coldness is our force

God left! There is no Eden
The sky struggled with ash. Disappeared
Lungs taste the venomous air
The curse of cannibalistic breath
We are existing in phantasmagoric hell
Limits of human creation
Crossed at every point

Moral schism, images of decay
The coma is wrapping me up
Cocooning senses in a catatonic shell
The pallid chamber-extinction stench

The pallid chamber-extinction stench
Awakening in Fire-Imago in death
We are the burning nation
The torches of absent light

In forge of this flame
I hammered out my wings
Spread wide towards the freedom
Grey wings covered with dust

God left. There is no Eden
The sky struggled with ash. Disappeared.
Lungs taste the venomous air
The coma is wrapping me up
Cocooning senses in a catatonic death!
