The Preacher

Fading pictures in a desert's heat
 Of a world that died so long ago
 Long lost forgotten dreams
 And broken heroes died in the fields
 Blood's preventing them from rust
 We were crushed by the wheels 

In bloodless times
 Obey the machines
 With every breath
 Hail the machines 

Life in agony under the spell
 Live and die –– To be reborn
 Reborn in hell 

Ancient scrolls have turned to dust
 Lonely preachers lost their trust
 Metalian deities
 Feed on human daily sacrifice
 Beyond those leaden clouds
 They die with open eyes 

Life in agony under the spell
 The time won't tell no more tales
 Pain and agony –– Bearing the spell
 Live and die –– Only to be reborn
 Reborn in hell 

Hours, months and years did pass – So much wasted time
 Not to dare to move or think –– Staring at the signs
 Raping, abusing, plunder and cut out your heart
 Chained and locked in for 10 bloody years in the dark
 Watch the people pray for some kind of heaven
 Listen to the screams and cries last for 24/7
 The dreams of freedom died long ago in the night
 A state of despair killed your strong will to fight
