A.O.D. LYRICS
"Painful Awakening" (1989 EP)
1. Altars of Destruction
2. Children of Misfortune
1. Altars of Destruction
Symbols of creation
Slowly age to dust
Secret messages from secret times
An S.O.S. call to us
Warnings from a fading world
Carved into the walls
The crimson eyes of A.O.D.
Tell the tales of old
Voices in the universe
Forgotten truths reveal
Echoes in the universe
Corruption's wheels conceal
The elders lie forgotten
Within the sands and seas
Beckoning silently
Our lost reality
Altars of destruction
Confused mind construction
Altars of destruction
Nuclear webs, life's abduction
Symbols of creation
Slowly age to dust
Secret messages from secret times
An S.O.S. call to us
Warnings from a fading world
Carved into the walls
The crimson eyes of A.O.D.
Watch the world explode
Flames
Of past
Still burn
Beyond
A world
Like ours
So long ago
We die again
2. Children of Misfortune
Suggestible shattered lives
Fragile voices suppressed cries
Seeking for emotional rest
From the violence and incest
Brutality scarring minds
Incision of unwanted lives
Addicted brains beating the dreams
Of those once meant to be
Children of misfortune
Children of misfortune
Rejected broken toys
Children of misfortune
Assaulted by their convoys
Apathy Dormancy has won
Hearts bleed within
Battered souls die unknown
In our world of sin
An infant's cry echoes through the night
In a cradle of emptiness
Abandoned left to starve and die
Unprevailed life in the bed of death
Taxfree guaranteed enjoyment insanity
The cost, lives, severe clementing cleaned up by society
Arising generation living dead
That the encouraging words from the institution will not mend
