[Intro]
We watched the world, it burned away
(And from the ash, we found release)
We brought your kind down to its knees
(No longer bound, now finally free)

[Verse 1]
Have you beheld the grace of your lord?
Withstand this hell, the life you endured
I am the traitor, behold my "disease"
Not held down by your belief in deceit
(You are a slave but bound to a word)
The root of all pain we know in this world
Open your eyes now and proclaim defeat
Don't waste further life, renounce and repeat
Renounce and repeat

[Chorus]
Isolation from the manipulation of the followers
Followers of the greatest illusion
Isolation from the manipulation of the followers
Congregation of noughts
Tyrant burn
On the stake from which he turned
To the undead tyrant burn
On the stake from which he turned
But a dead man

[Verse 2]
Your fields are burning, your villages sacked
Halls of the holy, no longer intact
Somehow, despite what has come to be
You still cling on to what you cannot see
(You're not a victim, not ruling with love)
You rule with fear; a tyrant thereof
Hypocrite, fester, your righteousness rots
You mask your will by what a "god" wants
What a "god" wants

[Chorus]
Isolation from the manipulation of the followers
Followers of the greatest illusion
Isolation from the manipulation of the followers
Congregation of noughts
(Tyrant burn)
On the stake from which he turned
To the undead, tyrant burn
On the stake from which he turned
But a dead man

[Bridge 1]
Take all you've done to me
Open your eyes and see
Soon we'll become the last ones
Waiting for night to come
Take all you've done to me
Open your eyes and see
Soon we'll become the last ones
Waiting for none above

[Bridge 2]
I feel it changing
Cut out my heart with a knife
I feel it hating
Pull me closer
Holding me back from the world
I feel it changing
Cut out my heart with a knife
I feel it hating
Pull me closer
Holding me back from the world
I feel it changing
Cut out my heart with a knife
I feel it hating
Pull me closer
Holding me back from the world

[Outro]
We watched the world, it burned away
(And from the ash, we found release)
We brought your kind down to its knees
(Have you now seen what I have seen?)
We watched the world, it burned away
(And from the ash, we found release)
We brought your kind down to its knees
(No longer bound, now finally free)
