Behind the Sun

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 --- Behind the Sun - Meshuggah
