Meshuggah - Behind The Sun lyrics

rate me

Carelessly you sentence. How indifferently you kill

The prophecies of mans corruption fulfilled

Arbitrarily you harm. Snap your fingers, cue demise

Murder on impulse. Your evil inclinations wrapped in lies

Divine man. Appointed. Claiming the stern voice of god

Absolute judgments passed from where you cowards hide

- The lair of snakes. Your dark haven

Where you and your ophidian partisans abide

The doctrine of your unholy trinity

- The violence, the spite and the enslavement

You awesome monarch, you man of dominance

All shall be as you decide

Illustrious ruler of all things

Wield your razors, cut the flesh of man

Control, govern and lead us

Into the nightmare of your wishes fulfilled

Grab the reins, you awesome puppeteer, you conductor of chains

Redeemer. Unbreakable strings. Damnation leashes

Remote cords extend, the trusses they run

They stretch all the way behind the sun

So vain our attempts, the useless tugging

This meaningless gnawing at restraints by which we're bound

Hail the tyrant saint, the great bereaver

You will bow before the emperor crowned
