THE FUNERAL PYRE LYRICS

1. 200 Years

For the events of war bring the tragic losses of lives
The prideful acts of murder, among men
Let this be the death of our era
From this bowels of humanity
Does murder prove right?
Below the skies, that are lit at night
Hail the gun of the warmachine
2,000 years of destroying life
What does that mean?
200 years of tyranny
What does that mean?
A fraud of a country
Weak in respect, we thrive on neglect
For those who surround us
The third world means nothing
Poverty & disease
Quarantined to never plague the white lives
This is the cost of murder

2. In The Wake

Let these be the words
To sound from your feeble mind
Venomous hate forms the agony
I have placed upon your heart
A tyrant falls
Not at least
Death has overcome
My eyes are able to see
No more will lives be plagued
Clad in your scornful shadow
I watch from afar
To sever the bonds between humanity
Under the moon, the crescent light
A tyrant's demise is brought forth
I have banished all the lies
We will not fall

3. Here The Sun Never Shines

Degradation of the sacred
The almighty has ruined the earth
There is none so vile as the one who provokes war
Endless agony that violates our human rights
Unable to see through the fog & smoke
We walk blindly through the halls
Which lead to nowhere
Here the sun never shines
But is covered by the ignorance of man
Cloaked & drenched
In the unforgiving substance of apathy
The future of tomorrow is bleak
With the self righteous
Commanding the tyrannical armies
Soldier s trained not to think or breathe
Killing machines reign supreme

4. The Nature Of Betrayal

Eyes upon the beautiful
There is no salvation
Into the depths
Of abysmal torment
Let me stop this spreading disease
The betrayal runs deep
Into the veins of man
To cast down and degrade
We have been betrayed
Tear down their heavens
Set ablaze their sorrows
Denounce the name
That was given
The plague will be killed tomorrow
Enslave the angels
Conquer the divine

5. Plague That Leads To Extinction

Plague the thoughts of men
Take away their dignity and self pride
You died for me? my slate is clean
Not due to false ideal
I call out your lies to the public eye
Behold the future,
One that will lead to casualties
He holds all men equal? yet you claim to be god
The war of ages, is never ending
It boils that blood that fills my veins
Stirring nothing but hatred for the world
You bring many people peace on your crutch
Remove it, they can stand without your touch
Sincere are the actions in men
Initiated simply by the thought of mankind
A world without your presence
A world better than the present
You have awakened the giant from it's sleep

6. Victims

No more will I fall victim
To unwanted emotions
A heart so cold, a color of black
Not a shadow lighter, for weakness
Will rise to the surface
Why is a body plagued with this?
Enough pain to crumble the human mind
This time, the tables have turned
For a soul that is so filled with hate
Will endure, will endure
Give me the will of martyr
To prove a lesson learned
Help me remove this
From my stream of blood
A pain that yields fear
Do I fear what lies ahead?
Neglect that feeling of weakness
There is no option
An open mind brings me to rest
Nothing less

7. Stealing The Air Of Life

With these lungs, I inhale the air
It slowly escapes through my throat
Into the polluted sky
The air that gives life is gone
Removed from this earth
Each breath brings you closer
To what is the end
But the sky darkens,
My lungs start collapsing
The air that gives life, is taken away
How has the earth become this way?
Out of my esophagus, it has escaped
My breath is no longer,
My lungs are empty,
Waiting for a pure intake,
There will be none
I am here waiting for a source to live
We're stealing the air of life

8. Ending The Eternal Reign

What has become of us?
Must we follow?
Must we beg for mercy?
Breaking from this shell of silence
And solitude, standing against the lies
We are ending the eternal reign
Tearing down the hierarchy
Given strength to the week willed
Force fed, never again,
Belonging to ourselves
No one else
We are ending the eternal reign
Save yourself
Silence has been shattered
Salvage the pieces of who we are
