4. Behind the Sun (6:14)
Carelessly you sentence. How indifferently you kill
The prophecies of mans corruption fulfilled
Arbitrarily you harm. Snap your fingers, cue demise
Murder on impulse. Your evil inclinations wrapped in lies
Divine man. Appointed. Claiming the stern voice of god
Absolute judgments passed from where you cowards hide
- The lair of snakes. Your dark haven
Where you and your ophidian partisans abide
The doctrine of your unholy trinity
- The violence, the spite and the enslavement
You awesome monarch, you man of dominance
All shall be as you decide
Illustrious ruler of all things
Wield your razors, cut the flesh of man
Control, govern and lead us
Into the nightmare of your wishes fulfilled
Grab the reins, you awesome puppeteer, you conductor of chains
Redeemer. Unbreakable strings. Damnation leashes
Remote cords extend, the trusses they run
They stretch all the way behind the sun
So vain our attempts, the useless tugging
This meaningless gnawing at restraints by which we're bound
Hail the tyrant saint, the great bereaver
You will bow before the emperor crowned.
The prophecies of mans corruption fulfilled
Arbitrarily you harm. Snap your fingers, cue demise
Murder on impulse. Your evil inclinations wrapped in lies
Divine man. Appointed. Claiming the stern voice of god
Absolute judgments passed from where you cowards hide
- The lair of snakes. Your dark haven
Where you and your ophidian partisans abide
The doctrine of your unholy trinity
- The violence, the spite and the enslavement
You awesome monarch, you man of dominance
All shall be as you decide
Illustrious ruler of all things
Wield your razors, cut the flesh of man
Control, govern and lead us
Into the nightmare of your wishes fulfilled
Grab the reins, you awesome puppeteer, you conductor of chains
Redeemer. Unbreakable strings. Damnation leashes
Remote cords extend, the trusses they run
They stretch all the way behind the sun
So vain our attempts, the useless tugging
This meaningless gnawing at restraints by which we're bound
Hail the tyrant saint, the great bereaver
You will bow before the emperor crowned.
