Decapitated - Blood Mantra lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Through centuries lead 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 yours

I will be your... assassin!

(Assassin!!!)

(Verse 2)

Eternal struggle, exchange of souls

7 billion of souls and there is no free trade

If God is aware who is the businessman?

Innocent merchant with familiar face

Is kindly trying to strike a bargain

Priceless currency, salvation fo sale

A unique offer? Who likes fairy tales?

(Who likes fairy tales?)

(Chorus)

Instinct calls for destruction

Prayers will muffle they screams

Good lord will drink this blood

Every divinity demands sacrifice

Every sacrifice needs devine purposes

This is Blood Mantra, an universal rite

Rite!!!

(Instrumental break)

(Verse 3)

Divided by symbols possessed by laws

Throats cut for power, rebels choked on their blood

Temples carved in red stone, altars have looted gold

Sanctification by slaughter absolution by doom

Saviors impaled on their thrones, the reaper's dancing around

Vicious circle rolls on!

(verse 4)

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 civilizations 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!

(Driven by fear of otherness!)
