Solace, truth, life, vision
And meaning have fallen away
Crushed, broken, severed
Rapturous reason unfolds
Nuclear light
Blinding the prophets
Mechanized fate
Treads of the tanks
Crushing the skulls of the children to dust
Calling to God
We are alone as the nightmare unfolds
Orders are given
The cleansing of those left to stand in their way
Carve away thought
Carve away skin
Cut to the bone
Everything set to its measure
A purity empty of sin
Mortar rounds pulverize
Split the bones, drink the blood
Burn the brush, drain the seas
Crack the skull, eat the flesh
Light the cities, twist the beams
Pluck the eyes, pull the tongue
Burn the books, melt the ice
Tear the head from the neck
Don't look away, no pity they hold
Never look back, they shoot for the spine
Never look up, no god will you find
Bury the light of the promise within
