Woe Unto Thee, My Slave Lyrics

Jolted, we awaken, to this nightmare of enslavement
Indentured - eternal servitude,
We were fooled by the promise of "heaven on earth"
But, upon our backs
This glorious monument is built, paying tribute to the gods
We serve, as slaves, forever in torment and anguish
We toil for these architects, that rule over us all!
Building their heaven for them, while we suffer in hell...
We'll die serving these lords... Oh! In their decadency...

(Chorus)
Eyes of Spite
To look upon thy masters
Are we to fight?
[When] the glyphs foretell our doom...
What choice is there?
To live beneath these tyrants
The time is now!
To break the yoke of slavery

Set upon thy hand to do the work of your pitiful gods
Worship thy structures, that shine their light...
Bleeding in the halls of worship, as tribute.
Rising like constructs, we obey...
Drink the black drink just to keep you alive
This ritual summons an inner demon
Deep within our hearts, a hatred that stirs.
But, still, we are slaves... toiling in endless despair!

(Repeat Chorus)
These stones (are)
Carefully placed
Will guide to Anu
Builders proclaim

Or shall,
Our toil be for naught?
In vain, shall we rot?
As builders drink honey and wine

Faith
Blindly is placed
Caregivers disgraced
What of our fate? Fate!

The sweat of our brows
Rebuilding this ziggurat
Our lives are meaningless
Our words mean nothing
Endlessly, suffering
In anguish we bleed
For an entity of greed
And, endless need

Not of this world
Not of this kind
These Anunnaki have claimed
That their world is divine
So, with wings of light
And, gilded in gold
The true name of the builders
Forever, atrocities untold...
