Apostate Songtext
von nolongerhuman

The world is basically a forced labor camp
From which the workers, perfectly innocent
Are led forth, a few each day to be executed
I don′t think that's just the way I see it
I think that′s the way it is

Are there alternative views? Yes
Will any of them stand close scrutiny?
No
I don't regard my state of mind
As some pessimistic view of the world
I regard it as the world itself

Are you ready to spend your life cowering
Hoping for a better world in the next?
Will you be a lamb, just a part of the flock?
Livestock born only for butchery

Are you willing to ignore what you see?
Suffering so common, it's easy to turn away
All of our innocence died on the vine
This world is empty, so be empty with me


I don′t regard my state of mind
As some pessimistic view of the world
I regard it as the world itself

I don′t believe that you are coming back for us
I don't believe you watch our every move
I don′t believe in slaughtering the innocent
I don't believe the horror done in your name

I don′t believe hate-filled allegory
I don't believe your divine hostility
I don′t believe everything is for a reason
I don't believe in worshiping what I can't see

The world is basically a forced labor camp
I think that′s the way it is
Are there alternative views? Yes
Will any of them stand close scrutiny?
No

Are you ready to spend your life cowering
Hoping for a better world in the next?
Will you be a lamb, just a part of the flock?
Livestock born only for butchery


Are you willing to ignore what you see?
Suffering so common, it′s easy to turn away
All of our innocence died on the vine
This world is empty, so be empty with me
Be empty with me

If people could see the world for what it truly is
See their lives for what they truly are without dreams or illusions
I don't believe they could offer the first reason
Why they should not elect to die as soon as possible
I don′t believe in God, can you understand that?
Look around you man, can't you see?
The clamour and din of those in torment
Has to be the sound most pleasing to his ear

I don′t believe that you are coming back for us
I don't believe you watch our every move
I don′t believe in slaughtering the innocent
I don't believe the horror done in your name
Look around you man, can't you see?

I don′t believe hate-filled allegory
I don′t believe your divine hostility
I don't believe everything is for a reason
I don′t believe in worshiping what I can't see
