Fire made flesh Renounce the throne Screams split the sky Fall to the sea My heart has been reshaped In the flames of treachery Bent beneath the hammering blows Of alienation, of alienation It's now a dark thing of iron resolve And unyielding hatred Unyielding hatred Grinding my teeth in contempt Grinding my teeth in contempt Free will made flesh Reject the divine With black sword in hand My steps carry me back Back to my tormentors Back to my tormentors I realize all the grim Sternness of my own cold Building with its wealth of breathing misery And my own desolate heart to endure it all But it's the curse of greatness It must step over dead bodies to create new life But it's the curse of greatness It must step over dead bodies to create new life And now there is change, the serpent has turned its head The serpent has turned its head to strike its master Those suffocating under dominion Have broken their chains, we've broken our chains Privilege destroyed, wealth ground to dust Power laid to waste, power laid to waste Grinding my teeth With black swords in hand Stepping over dead bodies Creating new life
