The Best of Enemies Songtext
von Sabbat

(Who are you that walks
Across the
Graves of giants
At this late hour?)
Obedience to the best of
Caste, wealth and ignorance
A lie deceived those eyes
A narrow-mindedness
You cannot compromise
He′s a noble fool, he thinks
You know what he is taking
Lest he find himself within
A dangerous ego making
The ways of weird are many
And are one you must decide
The secrets that you seek
Are all around you use your eyes
The treasure not deep rootless
Has brought you here to me
And when you go together


Play the best of enemies
The best of enemies!
You gaze upon me
And can't tell what you see
A simple man
Created for the simple needs
Superstition preying
On a man′s enthusiasm
Opposition to arguing
Right and ideas
Yet I will show you
More than you can comprehend
Beware delusion
Is a dangerous friend
Ask those expressions
Seeking knowledge
I'll forbid that you would do
Pervert all our values
With hidden meanings
To try concealing
Your underlying needs to
Convert even those to a faith
That would often send us
Off to the grave
Mistake you're making overlooking
The fact that we might not
Want to be saved
Dear eternal friend of mine
We have met many times before
(Don′t you use the curse
Like most do with me
And there is no risk in
There that we would be)
And death is the harsh fact of life
You cannot avoid or ignore
The fact of it′s obstructing you
As it is dogging me
The difference is what you hold
Can't divide set free
You seek the stuff to get
Although you won′t comply
I'll take your prejudice
And pride and show you why
The values that you hold so dear
Are the laws and rules
They hold no marks with fear
Than the mutterings of fools
Just take a look about you
And I′m sure that you will find
Heaven's handprint in our hearts
And its brush a figment of your mind
These teachings that you deem
So sacred become worthy
Void of meaning when compared
Unto a faith that preaches
Something worth believing
What did you think of us
When you did turn to lies
When the meaning to wipe
The tears when mother nature cries
Mother nature cries
My secret cautions
The barriers to all use to me
Hidden dangers await you
On each step of our way
Do not falter for if you do
You will fall prey unto perils
Far worse than you′ve encountered before
Compared unto the
Swearth-beaten devils
Who go wild
A relic from the fairy tales
That mother told me as a child
Why do you carry your heart
Like a weapon a dagger drawn
Ready to strike at the heart of a foe
When you don't really know
The reason that you fight
To replace our disgrace
With the loving embrace
Of your lord
Can't you see
That the plans made for me
And made for you too
Seem absurd
Death is the only recourse
I require in my hour of need
(Don′t you use the curse
Like most do with me
And there is no risk in
There that we would be)
If asked if you show no remorse
For folly and greed preemptive
Prejudice and dogmatize your life
Deeply confused that one′s self
You will no longer suffice
For in my world there is no point
Where you can draw the line
Fistfuls of evil take the sinner
Something can divine
Children act as servants
Of an infantile faith
My unrighteous truth will not
Permit you try to take my place
If there is one grain of truth
That with your heart applies
Take off your anger at yourself
It's your own right as a wife
These teachings that you deem
So sacred become worthy
Void of meaning when compared
Unto a faith that preaches
Something worth believing
What did you think of us
When you did turn to lies
When the meaning to wipe
The tears when mother nature cries
Mother nature criesWhen you wake there′s an empty dawning
Your penance is living in permanent mourning
By earth's vile ideals your heart is enslaved
You crawl out of the cradle straight into the grave
While we walk in the fight
We′re the fed by the flesh
When you hunger for life
But on death you are fed
On death you are
Dead
Do not underestimate the task you undertake
Overcome your hopes and fears
And meet the face of fate
These spirits are your enemies
But neither are they friends
Do not dare insult them
Lest they'll teach you to offend
They who were here before
And who′ll be made when we are gone
Though we're gone for time
Still their memory will live on
For us one day mankind
Will see the error of its ways
In its future gloom
Regretters of our yesterdays
To dream is to live in false history
When there is no reason there can be no need
