BLACK ELEGY LYRICS

1. Deconstruct - Turning The Tides

Confessed offenders availing the virus
Advanced, refined as deadly
Venomous poison for minds and hearts

A comedy of intrigue
With a view to oppression
To delude rogue intentions

Unconceivably simple is how it’s all done
A stroke of genious of lousy con men
injecting the fire that’s burning veins,
killing souls to harvest obedience

Conscience offered up for authority
Sanity’s been buried

A repentant devotee:
Tell me why…did I fall from grace and…
Tell me why…did I lose my faith, so…
Tell me why…did I fool myself and…
Tell me why…did I sell my soul

Morality given up for dominance
The tides have been turned

The oppressors:
Deconstruct…assimilate…
free will to dust…resistance is futile
Annihilate…eliminate…
obliterate…the soil has been burned

Unforeseen by the seers though planned by the liars
The meaning of words was turned upside down
The true believers, too convenient to question
A fake accepted as fact

Unbelievably barefaced
Winding the drama
A feat of a truly skillful player
acting in cold blood, speaking words of inanity,
burning hearts, killing minds to dominate

Corruption mixed up with ignorance
The facts have been strained
Morality given up for dominance
The tides have been turned

All hope dies in rousing cheers
in front of the delighted world

2. Reinventing Interpretation

In need of another way to explain
Reinventing interpretation
Replacing reality with nothing but lies
Laughing away moralities

No hesitation, no time to lose
A moral fraud to an alarming extent
The scale of the massacre of ethical values
Larger than we ever could accept

Though there’s no attempt to question their deeds
No resoluteness to defy their words
We’re sinking deeper into the dark
Hopelessly lost, no return?!

Dissembling words are spoken by the devious
Truth and lie with intent watered-down
A densely web of lies is setting up around
Our minds are turned from upside down

So our fate is sealed, we are caught in this web and
Moveless we accept our life in a mental cage, do we?

We’ve reached a land-mark
It’s time to decide
To take opposition or allow to die inside

Two-faced priests appear on stage
They assure us it’s safe to believe
In their words, sanctified by god
To proceed to their open arms

Trapped…in oppressive restriction
Watched…by the eyes of control
Nevermore…will you doubt again
Servant…this is your name

3. Reconstruct - Mare's Nest

Fallen for a mare’s nest
For insidious trickery
For perfidious corruption of an amoral sect

The call of deceit, the stench of lies
Don’t listen…to all these foolish preacher’s words

Delusion rebuilt on fragile columns
Lost souls ready to take their place in the flock

Obvious untruth worshipped by masses
Don’t follow…a blinding light that hides betrayal

Nourished by the ones of colossal lies
Slithering like a doubtful snake
Spreading the venom of the false dawn
Praying malice, terror, hate and scorn

…dependants of lies…

[The preacher:]
I am god my words have been sainted
Believe in me, I know the way
Bow to me the two- faced father
Don’t you dare to doubt of me

Conform…to my despotism
Obey….all my empty words
Come…and be my spineless servant
Kneel…before my unholy throne

As a child of god, in the arms of indifference
Affecting a sheltered life
The bottom’s he’s at one with self-deception
Straight fall for a liar

Avid to pay the price for their salvation
For a place in a doubtful collective
Blessed by those of feigned belief
Don’t act like a fool canting facile speeches

Holding sway over those of feeble minds
Controlling the fate of the weak
Dominate, enslave, manipulate
The core essence how religion kills

…and it does…for sure it does…

[The slaves:]
For all of our lifetime we’ll be serving
Obedient children of light
