Give Us Barabbas Lyrics

Salivate and pine for the chaos we desire
Screaming for extinguishing the Light
Deaf to sympathy, cast ourselves into the fire
Summoning the curse of savage blight

Our fathers and our mothers, our sisters and our brothers
None will see the coming of the dawn
Drowning out their screams with the suffering of others
For carnage is a battle never won

Give use insurrection, for we crave our brothers’ blood
On ourselves and on our children, soak the earth to putrid mud
Give us murder give us hate, give disorder as our fate
Deliver us unto days before the flood

Let us stand upon the highest mountain gazing down below
As the screaming echoes louder, and the valleys ring with woe
We’re a city on a hill, only shouting louder still
That God’s will has brought this judgment on our foes

Salivate and pine for the chaos we desire
Screaming for extinguishing the Light
But with the darkness, we did choose to light the fun’ral pyre
And our burning flesh illuminates the night

And the rivers fill with blood as the oceans red arise
Oh, the flood encroaches nearer on our hill
Not of God, but of ourselves, we have conjured our demise
As our drowning makes our manic shrieking still
