Enslaved - The Voices lyrics

rate me

I hear their poisonous words again

As they call out for submission and code

"To be less than one and drown equals pride" they say

These were the voices that destroyed us

Did I want for this loss to be sustained?

Through the clipping of wings found the secret paths

From the blinding light of lies obtained second sight

Stabbed in the back, gained strength in One-ness

Taken from me, I learned to preserve

These were the voices that sunk our ships

These are the voices - poisoned ears bleeding

Did I pray for the dead to be kept awake?

Did I gently place these thorns through the surface

of my eyes?

Did I ask for this fathomless tragedy to go on forever?

Fail to comply - reborn in war

The answer being no

Did I?
