Born from the ashes and detritus of decades The burden never ends and the rules never change Myopic pawns marching out to Rattenfänger's call Each for themselves and all against all ♪ Choking on the spite of a life subjugated Where flesh begets flesh for the kill And one after one spew invective In this cult, merciless and dejected And what we have is what we take For present day and future worlds When the bell of insurrection tolls And the last will be first on the day When their towers will crack and fall And their power-mad lust dissolves In the ether of their death's lament And their rites of cruelty ends Burn out the eyes of the miser Let the tide turn back on this cancer Drive out the knave and the rotter As a voice, once lost, cries, "Vengeance" And what we have is what we take For present day and future worlds When the bell of insurrection tolls And the last will be first on the day When their towers will crack and fall And their power-mad lust dissolves In the ether of their death's lament And their rites of cruelty end When this vile artifice decays And their temples are set ablaze In the fires of a greed misspent And their rites of cruelty end ♪ As centuries of thralldom turn to dust ♪ We promise them reprisal and revenge ♪ Wage of death, life for rent Gasp for breath, only one fight left One by one, cracks reveal Hollowed-out hearts beneath the wheel Rise above, grind the gears Let them all know the meaning of fear Drag them out, set the trap These are the years that we never will get back ♪ Never will get back
