Lyrics
Beginning of a sunrise Bores a big hole in the sky Not to reason why that armed children are in this world And fighting in the name of God's way Mourning bleak and utter waste The vanity of the world is assured now

Prey upon the weak no more The spirits of those who are gone Propaganda of the battles that are lost or won And count your blessings, still alive Of those who managed to survive Inside oblivion of that hell on earth

All you have been, all you have seen Lost in somewhere in your dreams How the angels they have fallen All is nothing what it seems In the voices that you hear now In the voices in your head Now are thinking of a lifetime You can never feel again

I wish I could go back, will never be the same again Bled for all upon this hell on earth And when I leave this world I hope to see you all again On the other side of hell on earth Upon the eyes of good I'm following the light again In between the dark of hell on earth On the other side, I'll see again heaven So far away from this hell on earth

You dance on the graves who bled for us Do you really think they'll come for us Knowledge and virtue taken by lust Live on the edge of those that you trust You think that you have all the answers for all In your arrogant way only one way to fall Burning a lamp that is fire in your hands Taking you further from these lands

Love in anger, life in danger Lost in anger, life in danger

Love in anger, life in danger Lost in anger, life in danger
