You Will Be Godless - Lyrics - Heaven Shall Burn

Heaven Shall Burn are a German extreme metal band from Saalfeld, formed in 1996. They combine an aggressive sound with lyrics that show a militant support of anti-racism and fighting social injustice. All members of the band are vegans.

Godless old men, confess your sins, why don't you practise what you preach An isolated super state, lead and controlled by rotten tyrants Detached from this world and disconnected from reality Maintaining power is the highest destination Supressing real enlightenment and ruling by oppression Misanthropic doctrines, committed only to their profit Follow them and godless you will be Preaching love but feeding hatred Forgiving sins, concealing crimes Just follow them and godless you shall be Infallible, an ultimate authority, without any explanation Manipulation, profiteering, money greedy hypocrites, power-hungry dotards downtrodden believers, trapped within archaic structures Why don't you practise, what you preach Follow them and godless you will be Feeding the swayer, taunting the starving worship creation, while agonizing creatures Black hearts beating under snow-white cassocks Their golden beringed hands, pray to a distressed icon Ancient traditions of justifying dark suppressors
