TRAGEDERIA LYRICS

1. Negation Epitome

I can't take the indifference
The killing of our common sense
Can you hear the cannons roar
There's so much more death in store
Heed the call of whorish power
As the greed grows by the hour
Deadly hail of machine gun fire
Doomed to die by the hands of liars!

All I see is betrayal and malice
How did we ever become so callous?
Redemption's always a mistake away
So we numb ourselves blood this day
Sacrificial killing spree
Another murder you might see
Hell is born of this earth
And it's all that we deserve

Mass executions
Rivers of blood
Endless grieving
Die and let die

Open graves in a land of hate
We are only here to die

Every day is bloodshed and pain
With much to lose and little to gain
Is this all that we could create?
Revulsion, death, poverty and hate
There is nothing left for us now
In this lonely, damned world
There's only slaves and masters
Will something better unfurl?

Mass executions
Rivers of blood
Endless grieving
Die and let die

Open graves in a land of hate
We are only here to die

When it rains it always pours
And the cold soaks to the core
The death of both you and me
Crushing our individuality
Terror, hate and filthy greed
Crept by and planted its seeds
Cry out to an empty, dead sky
We will never know the reason why?

2. Total War

Death marches on
Through the ashes
Of a thousand funeral pyres
The building stones of their empires
We choke on the embers of our shattered dreams
But we are stronger than what we seem

Watch the world burn in silence
Through the eyes of the deprived and fallen
We're just one more lie away from total war

Hurts to think
About the bloodshed
And the tears
How the anger builds up over the years
No silver lining colours upon our sky
Unless we stand up for what's right

Seething under the surface
We live to rise again

Once again
At our journey's end
A distant chime
Of confidence
An end to what was
Bloodstained cross
A chance to finally restore the loss

Reveries of a lifetime lost
They will never know the cost
We're just one more lie away from total war

Time to begin again
Watch it all burn down

A final collapse
Reality's detached
It's entropy's core
An all out war
You reap what you sow
It's time to tell
Friend from foe

Reveries to a lifetime lost
They will never know the cost
We're just one more lie away from total war

3. Devilborn (1674)

On the 15th of October
Amidst the solemn fall
The parish condemned her
But she did nothing at all
Heathen trials began
The scornful man led them
To crush the Devil's clan
To save is to condemn

Children's testimony
The penalty is always death
For this pagan ceremony
Torture them until their last breath
Enchantresses and warlocks
Unjustly accused were they
Into freezing water thrown
Die, repent or live to burn

Blockula is the meadow
Where their transgression is held
'Tis where eerie chants echo
'Tis where evil doth dwell
The Devil's earthly court
Pagan Sabbath and heathen ritual
Ye who such sin sought
Shall feel God's refusal

Desperate cries up to heaven now rises
Blood soaked ritual of purification
Tortured bodies, headless and wretched
Prayers unanswered and adrift in the wind
The axe swings blindly into innocent flesh
More and more, there's no turning back now
Hysteria emerges and with it comes death
The witchfires burn, it's all grotesque

Heaven, hear me
As I sit here awaiting my fate
They have condemned me
But I know I'm innocent

The great clamour
Roaring in the night for your sins
The blood is pouring
From the throats of the Devil's kin
This war of Heaven
Will drain us of our humanity
When man becomes beast
Death will surely follow

4. Bleak Future

Nobody knows my face
Nobody knows my name
As I walk towards a somber fate
Destined to die in the black smoke
A grey landscape of forges
Spewing up the day's work
So many died in the mines today
But everything remains the same

They told us we needed this
To bring about a new age
But all we see is
Devastation and malice

We go towards a bleak future
A slave colony, a nation in fear
Disposable and meaningless
They're using our blood as oil

Deep scars
Brought by silence
These broken minds bathed in fear
Lashes on our backs
The blood in our eyes
A road to submission
Moist with blood

These scars
Brought by silence
These broken minds bathed in fear
The lashes on our backs
And the blood in our minds
A road to submission
Moist with blood

They told us we needed this
To bring about a new age
But all we see is
Devastation and malice

We go towards a bleak future
A slave colony, a nation in fear
Disposable and meaningless
They're using our blood as oil

Desperate and crawling
Through this bloody mauling
In the dark of these mines
Our destinies are entwined
We are what you say
We cannot escape
This nightmare goes on
Am I the only one?
To notice all of this blood
As we keep dying in the mud

We go towards a bleak future
A slave colony, a nation in fear
Disposable and meaningless
They're using our blood as oil

5. Rebirth

There I stood there with frozen blood
Too cold to move, too cold to cry
Exiled far away, but I wouldn't give in
With vengeance in my heart I strived on

I was made immortal
From others spawned hate
You can't break these chains
Let justice ring true

Hear my warning
I'm coming for all of you
All my demons
That plagued me for eternity
My words will cut right through you
Leave you broken, now justice has rung true

So, I wandered on to distant goals
Through raging storms and howling wolfs
I stopped to think under burning sky
Finally free, I've broken my exile

I was made immortal
From others spawned hate
You can't break these chains
Let justice ring true

Hear my warning
I'm coming for all of you
All my demons
That plagued me for eternity
My words will cut right through you
Leave you broken, now justice has rung true

I've found my home
Deep inside the Earth
Here everything is still
It feels like a rebirth

Then I transformed
Oh, that glorious moment
The birth of senses and feelings
Now I've shed the cold

I was made immortal
From others spawned hate
You can't break these chains
Let justice ring true

Hear my warning
I'm coming for all of you
All my demons
That plagued me for eternity
My words will cut right through you
Leave you broken, now justice has rung true

6. The Exiled King

The mire is dark and dreary
But through its darkness I see them clearly
Eerie lights and dimly lit shadows
As the fog laid its veil

Desperately calling
Aimlessly running
Terrible screams
In waking dreams
Cognitive dissonance
Making its reverence
It's just as well
It's all gone to hell

Beyond the burning dunes
From the waters of decay
In rotten center of ourselves
Lives the trembling fears

Never to leave us, never to fail us
Just outside our reach it stays
Thick stone walls and dirty water
I have all I need within me

Countless living ghosts
They walk these endless halls
I hear them screaming
Please make it all stop

"To be free of this pain
I must bathe in the red stream
Let it wash over me
To soak my flesh and stain my dreams"

"In my mind where I am king
I sit upon my broken throne
And watch them hang from high above
Their ashes strewn into the wind"

Strike them down to a vicious fate
For heinous crimes and dark days
Pure carnage and bloody screams
Reality was shaped from dreams

Burn them all, let the ashes flow free
This thirst for blood consumes me
The deed is done, my freedom won
The voices stopped to welcome their prodigal son

Are we fighting in vain
To make sure we're sane?
Must we endure
This life obscured?
Hell's waiting for you
When I am through
Captive minds
Will soon align

Countless living ghosts
They walk these endless halls
I hear them screaming
Please make it all stop

7. Into Oblivion

Mighty thunder's incarnate
A flash of lightning splits the sky
King of kings, the Father
Master of Olympus, heed my call
Taste the rage of thunder
Bow down to the lightning storm
Son of Kronos, I will arise

On this fateful day
The clash of gods and titans
Among fire and lightning
Live for battle, die for glory

Oh, how sweet death smells
In this bloody Armageddon
Into the stream we all fall
Lifeless, never to escape our doom
Soon you will die by my blade
The warriors cry, it is I
Kneel before the god of War

No one can escape me
I stand with abhorred shears
To cut down every being
Destiny and fate controlled
Of man or god alike
Absolute ruler of fate
The flux of death
I am forever, Atropos

Now they are forgotten
Where demons and guardians
Drift with gleaming stars
Hell is burning red
A monument to the fallen
A nexus to our doom

On this fateful day
The clash of gods and titans
Among fire and lightning
Wither away, far into oblivion

These mindless reactions to the vast unknown
Where do we come from, where do we go
In a thousand years we might know it all
Maybe we'll drift further from the truth
In this time it would seem reason should prevail
To shed its light upon these dead, silent stones
Yet our insecurities still linger on that mountain
Fear and hate still dictates the poetry of life

On this fateful day
The clash of gods and titans
Among fire and lightning
Wither away, far into oblivion

8. Heresiarch

We've travelled far on this cursed road
The voice of hope guiding us to nowhere
Nothing grows here except the path to ruin
It lies dead and barren before our eyes

With every step we lose our way
Innocence fades and hope decay
Screams are all that linger here
But still we need to persevere

Beneath the scorching sun we walk
Through a mental maze of constant shock
Hollow stares from near and far
Leave our skin with a million scars

Adorned with the cries of the broken
The smoke from the forges bellowed forth
Chains rattle far away in the darkness
Freedom burned in the fires of the mountain

We heard all the broken sing:
We will not see another dawn in chains
Rise up to our freedom
Take it by force
Let them burn as we have
Cast them down into their mountain
To the depths of our despair
So that they may feel our pain

A million screams inside these walls
Our searing voices echo
Reminisce our fallen kin and
Let it fuel your rage
Break the leash that tether us
Destroy their hellish gates
We'll tear them down and watch them burn
Watch them burn

Through this pain
We plot your fall
Our time is almost here
Through the discord
Transgressions will falter and fall
Cut out their tongues
The ones of lies and evil

We heard all the broken sing:
We will not see another dawn in chains
Rise up to our freedom
Take it by force
Let them burn as we have
Cast them down into their mountain
To the depths of our despair
Heresiarch, arise!

There is a growing hate lingering inside us
And we will let it fuel our righteous violent endeavour
You will see the hell you've created for yourselves
In our eyes, in our blood, in our minds
You will learn the one true meaning of oppression
The one we felt through our years of desolation
Feel our pain as we tear your poisoned, rotten kingdom down
You will cry as we've cried and feel the desperation

We saw them rise up to slay their captors
One righteous moment of a final retribution

We heard all the broken sing:
We will not see another dawn in chains
Rise up to our freedom
Take it by force
Let them burn as we have
Cast them down into their mountain
To the depths of our despair
Heresiarch, arise!
