IMMOLATION LYRICS
"Hope and Horror" (2007 EP)
1. Den of Thieves
2. The Condemned
3. The Struggle of Hope and Horror (instrumental)
1. Den of Thieves
Twist what's right to make it wrong
Flip our minds, drag us along
Leach on our morals, lead us to pain
Then rob us of all you can
Bludgeon the masses, with propaganda
Stealing our sons, stealing our lives
Hungry for power, to battle they go
Fire in their eyes, and rage in their souls
Den of thieves
Rule with greed
Steal our faith
Watch us bleed
Keep us in the dark and blind
Steal the thunder and the night
Steal the power and our might
Leave us only scraps to find
Take and take it all like swine
Take our lives then own the world
Leave the weak and burn what's left
Then let them starve among the ashes
Conspire ways, to bring us hate
Spreading lies, like the devil's plague
Make their crusade, our world's fate
Death in their eyes, now blood on their souls
Den of thieves
Rule with greed
Steal our faith
Watch us bleed
2. The Condemned
Bound to this hallowed earth, where no life tastes the sun
Amongst the ruins of mankind, the dark and I are one
Flesh and blood just a memory, time's forgotten tome
Dismal like the world above, where life is tortured still
I lie here the condemned
In the darkness and the filth
Soon to be the graves
Of the lives we failed to save
The hand of God keeps striking down, his soldiers raging on
Doing all the Devil's work, in God's name they are absolved
The epiphany that the world is dying will be too late to change
Greed and anger seeps deeply in, giving earth it's daily bread
We'll all lie here condemned
In the darkness and the filth
For they'll never find the way
To survive another day
Soon they'll join us
Bound to destroy it all
Soon they'll become us
Bound to this blackened earth
The light is dimming, mankind is failing, hold on to what you can
As the hours pass, all is lost, these wicked times are coming fast
"The world is damned to join the dead, we'll pull the bodies down
The blood of a dying race, floods the soil below
In the ashes, and the dust, winds carry the spirits through
Soul by soul, taken swift, like a hurricane of fire
The light is gone, mankind is damned, you've let it slip away
The time has come, your souls are lost, the wicked join the dead
3. The Struggle of Hope and Horror (instrumental)
