Empty Altars 歌词

Look at the empty altar An idol torn apart But a thousand more like him will come To demean all humankind! The sleep of reason begins to numb the crowds While a greedy preacher poisons their thoughts Turning into servant sheep millions of fools A drop of hope, a sea of fear and guilt A blind faith fills the void in their lives Convenient trust in a convenient God Can’t they see what escapes from their hands? Is the burden of freedom too heavy for man? Look at the empty altar Exhilarating sight Feel the will to power grow From the ashes of old gods Beyond good and evil a few will reborn In blood and tears to become who they are There ain’t no easy path but great is the reward Taking control we’ll live by our own law The feast is served, let’s eat, drink and toast To our flesh and blood, (to) life on Earth We will win, we will lose, but we’ll fight Stronger, wiser and freer a new man will rise Climb the altar Become a God!
