OGRATH LYRICS

1. Never Let Them Rule

Break it down!

You wanna murder our freedom!
And then in its place!
You're gonna raise some bullshit prophet who's to scared to show his face!
You're all autocrats!
And it's clear you have no shame!
You're a sickness, meaningless causes of pain!
Now die!

You'll have to sever my fist, if you don't like me raising it!
I'm a secularist, you are not fucking changing it!
You think you're sent by god?
Nah, fuck that and fuck you too!
Because it's a matter of time before we end your abuse!

The malicious will never rule!

This song we sing!
Is reckoning!
For all the pain!
And suffering!
(Destroy the blight!)
So sing with me!
For amity, humanity!
For decency!
(Restore the light!)
For every dead!
Killed by your hand!
We'll curse your name!
And burn your flag!
(Destroy the blight!)
We'll raise our voice!
Show we can fight!
The time has come!
Restore the light!
(Restore the light!)

So tell me!
Would your god condone your actions?
Fucking tell me!
Are you proud over your course of action?
Only cowards kill everyone not to be scrutinized!
Convince me!
That we deserve to die!

The malicious will never rule!

This song we sing!
Is reckoning!
For all the pain!
And suffering!
(Destroy the blight!)
So sing with me!
For amity, humanity!
For decency!
(Restore the light!)
For every dead!
Killed by your hand!
We'll curse your name!
And burn your flag!
(Destroy the blight!)
We'll raise our voice!
Show we can fight!
The time has come!
Restore the light!
(Restore the light!)

Humanity!
An ideal frequently preached but seldom practiced!
What was thought to be protocol became anomaly!

You're lords of immorality!
Sanctified?
You're a parody!
A joke on divinity!
Moronic and maniacal, crazed fanatics!
You're lords of immorality!
Sanctified?
You're a parody!
A joke on divinity!

Kill yourselves!
You're lords of immorality!
Sanctified?
You're a parody!
A joke on divinity!

2. Forlorn

Help me!

They say it's not the end!
They say there's more ahead!
But words can't help me because all I see is dead!
And it won't be revived!
I'll see it all my life!
Day in day out, no matter what I do it always feels like...

Sanity's slipping away from me!
Lunacy, overpowering me!
You will see my capabilities!
You will see my true brutality!
Say after me: "Hope has deserted me! The evil is closing in on me!"

Voices in me, shouting:
"You'll never smile again!"

They tell me it's the end!
They say there's not a second shot!
They tell me that it's over!
And that I'm lost!
There's nothing left but pain!
And it's not getting better!
In the end I am all alone in the dark!

It took control again!
But it makes no sense!
They gave me their promises, but even now nothing has fucking changed!
I'm in obscurity!
There's no one here but me!
Except for all those monsters that keep on screaming:
You little piece of shit, don't you try me!
I'm always gonna be here, you can't escape it!
I'm your burden, fear and ache!
And I will bring you down!
You little piece of shit, don't you try me!
I'm always gonna be here, you can't escape it!
I'm your burden, fear and ache!
And I will bring you down!

Voices in me, shouting:
"You'll never smile again!"

They tell me it's the end!
They say there's not a second shot!
They tell me that it's over!
And that I'm lost!
There's nothing left but pain!
And it's not getting better!
In the end I am all alone in the dark!

I'm the perfect rapist, I quickly tear you up without a stain!
I keep on growing like a fetus, slurping on your screams of pain!
Bite and claw me all you want, you're struggling in vain!
Crawling through your skin, slowly paving my way towards your brain!
I'm the blood of every woman that has every been defiled!
I'm the rage of every parents that has butchered their own child!
I'm the bullet and the razor, the instrument of suicide!
I'm the monster you never heard of, I'm the depths of your own mind!

They tell me it's the end!
They say there's not a second shot!
They tell me that it's over!
And that I'm lost!
There's nothing left but pain!
And it's not getting better!
In the end I am all alone in the dark!

Save me from the dark!

3. Shackles

He's looking in the mirror but he looks so blank!
He lost his fucking will to smile, dunno how to get it back!
The bags under his eyes have gone from grey to black!
He used to sleep in harmony, but peace is something that he lacks!

The scars on his heart, those mother fuckers won't stop itching!
The voices in his head, won't quiet their infernal bitching!
Swallow these pills that taste like shit, will they make him sleep?
Well when your life is this fucked up, there is no peace!

These shackles!
(I carry every day!)
Won't loosen!
(They just get heavier!)
Why won't they just...
(Can't they just...)
Get away?
These shackles!
(I carry every day!)
Won't loosen!
(They just get heavier!)
Why won't they just...
(Can't they just...)
Get away from me!

So what to do at night when no pills will bring you joy?
Look at your own life and see all you've destroyed!
I've been having this feeling since I was a little boy!
Born in the darkness, and raised in the void!

I'm way too tired to do anything!
Got so many plans but nothing is happening!
Drowning in obligations, no one can count on me!
So I just dig into the mattress and forget that I exist!
These shackles!
(I carry every day!)
Won't loosen!
(They just get heavier!)
Why won't they just...
(Can't they just...)
Get away?
These shackles!
(I carry every day!)
Won't loosen!
(They just get heavier!)
Why won't they just...
(Can't they just...)
Get away from me!

They tell me I should turn to god, but there's no god that I believe in!
My life is in my hands but I'm too weak to hold it!
Anxiety is brewing up, dunno how to control it!

It's just another fraud!
There's nothing to put my faith in!
I don't think the world has ever looked this grey!
Maybe the sun shot itself and we're all here to stay!

In the end, we all fall down!
We all fall down!
These shackles!
(I carry every day!)
Won't loosen!
(They just get heavier!)
Why won't they just...
(Can't they just...)
Get away?
These shackles!
(I carry every day!)
Won't loosen!
(They just get heavier!)
Why won't they just...
(Can't they just...)
Get away from me!

Get away from me!

4. Vitality

My blood is pumping in my veins, but with every fucking step I take it's drained!
I swear I've tried to conserve it but it's washing away!
My own life force fades to grey and my very mentality breaks!
But if there's a day you see me dead, I'm telling you, that day is not today!
I'm gonna stand up!
Even with this agony, I stand up!
And get through my misery so stand up!
If you mother fuckers think you can then stand up!
And I guess we'll just see!
My insides are like an eternal machine!
And my body is bursting with vitality!

And I am still alive, despite all your desperate tries!
(Don't think you could ever stop me, I came here to win!)
I don't want you, I don't even need you and I will tell you why!

Crack these lyrics to your head, you make a joke out of yourself!
I drag your face down in the mud and piss on your grave!
Fucking vile and malcontent waste of human flesh!
Crack these lyrics to your head, you make a joke out of yourself!
I drag your face down in the mud and piss on your grave!
Fucking vile and malcontent waste of human flesh!

You say those things because you're weak and the only one you got is me!
You try to pull me down, but guess what, bitch!
I'm breaking free!
You tried to drag me down, like you always did!
But your conviction is surpassed by my will to live!

And I am still alive, despite all your desperate tries!
(Don't think you could ever stop me, I came here to win!)
I don't want you, I don't even need you and I will tell you why!

I was born to live, I wasn't born to die!
And I won't let your duplicity waste my fucking time!
I got no time for bullshit, you better bring it!
I know if you want this shit, then toughen up, come and get it!
You won't get ahead of me, you won't get the better of me!
Nothing steps in front of me and nothing gets away from me!

I will...
Castigate, decimate all who stand in my way!
Step away, back away, make sure to stay that way!
Worship and venerate every step I take!
Go back from where you came, this is my dream!

This is my obstinacy!
This is my tenacity!
This is my intensity!
This is my vitality!

And I am still alive, despite all your desperate tries!
(Don't think you could ever stop me, I came here to win!)
I don't want you, I don't even need you and I will tell you why!

5. Persistence

My knees may feel weak, my finger may bleed!
But my soul has not given up on me!
It's dark but I'm awake!
And I will choose my fate!
I know now that it is not too late!
I know I can't relive all those memories that I wish I could change for the better!
But as long as I still breathe, I have all I need to live on and stand on my two feet!

I hear the darkness screaming, as it comes to an end!
I feel my horrors leaving me, I'm here and now I'm free!
So don't ever cry for me!

I promise you, I will never be a failure!
I'll be a saviour of thousands of screaming voices, calling out for me!
I promise I will never lose myself for this!

For this!

I've contemplated letting go!
It seems easier, I know!
But life lies in our souls and it won't just leave you!
You don't need a second chance, no one needs to understand!
Just keep them close and let them help you!
I hear the darkness screaming, as it comes to an end!
I feel my horrors leaving me, I'm here and now I'm free!
So don't ever cry for me!

I promise you, I will never be a failure!
I'll be a saviour of thousands of screaming voices, calling out for me!
I promise I will never lose myself for this!

With persistence, I found myself!

I promise you, I will never be a failure!
I'll be a saviour of thousands of screaming voices, calling out for me!
I promise I will never lose myself for this!
