Atonement Lyrics

You were put on this Earth
to be the bringer of your own rebirth
I stand here in this world to bring chaos
You must confess to eat their flesh and be forgiven
Here I stand victorious and watch it all unfold
And thus I watch it all unfold
And thus I watch it all unfold

I was put on this Earth to be
the bringer of all suffering
This is the end of everything, the origin of misery
You must devour my flesh to finally be what I am
Here we stand, here we are, the final march

Victorious!
Here I am victorious!

I stand victorious in times so ravenous
I am imperious
The seals are broken now
To burn is my heritage
Heritage, heritage

To burn is my heritage
All lies to me

Trinity, sanctity
Your eternal home is the cross
Trinity, sanctity, forgive Him

Riders of plagues inheriting the Earth
Horsemen of darkness and death
In these abysmal realms
I'm cursing the day when He was born

Standing hollow and without hope
at the edge of heaven
So weak, so helpless
There is no day of atonement
So weak, so soulless
His majesty grows and I'm alone
This is my heritage

Inferior blood drenched majesty
I pity the fools who come to me

I stand alone and confront my fears
Darkness and pain everywhere
So weak, so helpless
There is no day of atonement
So weak, so soulless
My majesty grows and you're alone
This is His heritage

Look into these dead cold eyes
Let them know what sights you see
Revelations of tragedy and a majesty
that never came to be
Look into these dead cold eyes
Let them know what sights you see
Revelations, revelations

There is no day of atonement

The battle goes on, it's in my heritage
So strong, so flawless
In my heritage, no day of atonement
In my heritage, no day of redemption
So great, yet lifeless

I weep for those who suffer
I kneel down and cry
I cry for those who won't make it, now or ever
You will suffer just like the others have
I am punished and ashamed
These wounds are not meant for me
or my seraphims and cherubims
and illuminating angels
You have suffered just like your Father has
You are banished and to blame
These scars are not meant for me
or my seraphims and cherubims
and illuminating angels
Illuminating angels, come sing with me

[Solo: Lasse Johansson]

Day by day you're getting weaker
Day by day our swords cut deeper
Day by day our war is won
Legions arise!
Day by day you're getting weaker
Day by day I bide my time
Day by day your kingdom is mine
Heaven is mine!

[Solo: Lasse Johansson]

Where we are all devoid of names
Where I'm The Bastard Son

Father, I ask not for forgiveness
Father, I ask not for shelter
Father, bow down to me
Father, burn...

Serpent ritual alliance, lustrous demon princess
Drenched in sin and destruction
Faith, despair and forgiveness
Serpent ritual defiance, He is my witness
Demon ritual alliance, blessed be the sickness

The mark of the serpent is in your flesh
The sign of holy trinity is carved into your heart
The blood of Judas in your veins
We drink to darkness and its reign
Standing at the gates to the hive of traitors
And so it has begun
Serpent ritual deviants, lustrous demon mistress
And so it has begun
Drowned in sin and destruction
Death, despair and forgiveness
And so it has begun
Demon ritual alliance, I am your witness
And so it has begun
Holy ritual alliance, blessed be the sickness

[Solo: Lasse Johansson]

Sowing despair in His fields of hope
Puking venom into the chalice of joy
There can never be atonement
Sowing despair in His fields of hope
Puking venom into the chalice of joy
There must never be atonement

There is no day of atonement
There is no way to reconcile
So weak, so helpless
There is no day of atonement
So weak, so soulless
The battle goes on and on, it's in our heritage

No atonement, no atonement
You were put on this Earth to be
the bringer of your own rebirth
I stand here, my name is Chaos
