We break our enemies with fear
And we've seen how the tears come around
We built our confidence on wasteland
We've seen how the walls come down
Life burns!
[Chorus]:
A man dies like a butterfly
Life burns from the touch of the reaper
All things must pass
One love is a crooked lie
The world lies in the hands of evil
And we pray it would last
Life burns!
We have no sympathy for the lost souls
We've chosen the path of disgrace
We give this life to our children
And we teach them to hate this place
[Chorus]:
A man dies like a butterfly
Life burns from the touch of the reaper
All things must pass
One love is a crooked lie
The world lies in the hands of evil (5x)
And we pray it would last
[Repeat chorus (2x)]
Life burns! (3x)
Take what is offered and that must sometimes be enough.
Lost, misguided minds, feverish dumb
I wonder how your life will end one day
Your soul is caught in a smiling web of sins
You bring the world to it's knees, again and again
Speak silence, the knife is mine
The knife is mine, your emptiness
Devouring life as stars are waning overhead
You celebrate with demons in your home
You put the world to an end, that's why I say:
Speak silence! You're just walking shades
Go away, back into your mental cage
Live silence! Keep your demons locked
in your mouth, and your head, go away
Speak silence!
There's no cure for your disease
Denn Du bist Mensch, and humans never learn
Live silence! I pierce my bloody knife
in your mouth, and your head, in your veins
Speak silence, the knife is mine
Speak silence, silence
Mine, mine, this knife is mine
You walk towards the end
Feel the coldness in your veins
Down, down, now you get down
Your body crumbles
This fiery pulse of sin now stops to beat
This knife is mine, the pain is your's
Your broken dreams complete
This knife is mine, hurting deep
Again and again I say:
The sun has set and I enjoy the void
Without you the silence is so sweet
All living beings are sinking down
The sky is vacant and I smile
Speak silence when I smile
Speak silence in my loneliness
Take what is offered and that must sometimes be enough.
You can hear the sirens
But we go unfettered
We don't need the riots
We can do that better
We don't need the doors
We don't need the windows
We don't need the walls
We don't need your leaders
They can cloud our minds
But it doesn't matter
We read between the lines
We have something better
We don't have the doors
We don't have the windows
We don't have the walls
We don't have your leaders
They don't believe in us
I know we can not fix that
I know it's just the dust
That winds will spread away
They don't believe in us
I know we can not fix that
I know it's just the dust
And winds will spread it away
Take what is offered and that must sometimes be enough.
