Utopia Burns Songtext
von Reaper’s Mark

Mayhem

The blind fools saw nothing
Lulled to sleep by naive dreams
But the beast lay waiting underneath
A shallow surface

Now the fires ravage
Brother slaying brother again
The weak don′t understand
And they are wiped out

Why they choose hate we don't understand
Why does Utopia burn
Why is paradise torn down and from within

This was the dream. The past was erased
But now the slaughter reigns
The center collapses, the foundation breaks

Mother
This is me beaten and bruised

Mother
My flesh screams, tortured and used


Mother
I cry and I pay

The slaughter
Of innocence began today

They′ve taken to the streets
The law is opposed and retreats
The killing commences
Mass executions

The bodies stacked high
Are put to the flame
A child cries, a carcass fries
Heaven crashes
And falls

Pray for your life
You are denied
That which was you
What will you do

Run for your life
You are deprived
Taken away all that was you and you knew


And they descend upons us
Like they always do
Beaten at gun point
And mocked

The laws of war
Differ from the rest
Me that sighs, something dies
Heaven crashes
And falls

Pray for your life
You are denied
That which was you
What will you do

Run for your life
You are deprived
Taken away all that was you and you knew

Slaughter

Those left undefended
Targets for the rage
Unexplained as always but the
Haven burns

One fist lands on my face
Raised before the squad
My time here is ending before savage brutes

Martyrs
Another corpse stacked on that pile

Martyrs
Sentenced without a trial

Martyrs
With names that will not fade

The slaughter
Of innocence began today

Why does Utopia burn
Burn

Utopia burns
