Epitaph

by DISCHORD

/
1.
Bolshevik 04:48
Summon forth - Revolution Status Quo - Rot on their Nooses Freedom - liberty or death We’ll set the world afire Marching on - Pure intentions Overcome - Oppressions of the few Awaken - Proletariat Let the working class reign We’ll set their world on fire Stack the pyres - Burn the old regime Obliterate - Dictatorships Incinerate - All liaisons We mustn’t leave a trace (Pre-Chorus) Eradicate all blood relatives Annihilate the Tsars Leave their bodies hung in the squares Awaken all to our cause (Chorus) With centuries of ruler ship, Monarchy became obsolete Corruption and greedy deeds, just too many catastrophes From Ivan the Terrible to the Romanovs We shall take the power by force, how could it get any worse? Mobilizing in the streets, death tolls are rising ever higher Violence begets more violence, bloodlusts are creating monsters Cannot stop, Cannot surrender, cannot let the pressure tear us from under (Solo – Louis Solo – Luc) “Bread, Land, Peace, Power to the people” Creation of a Utopia Protect and serve - highest ideals No matter what the cost The Cost of War - Millions of lives Poverty, famines - Peasant unrest Terminate, Subjugate Becoming what we hate (Pre-Chorus) (Chorus)
2.
Stalingrad 06:16
(Solo – Louis) (Solo – Luc) A mortified mass began to chant his name, As his idols are erected, Everywhere we see his face, Hail the new Kremlin or die Commanding from his Iron fists, Stalin’s hunger grows stronger Industrialize the country, climb to world supremacy Eliminate all dissention, send the rest to Siberia Bring them to their knees, execute their will Centralize all resources, feed the war machines Hunger, famines, multitudes of death The end will justify the means Surround the Villages and lay them all to waste. Put them to the torch, attack them with our tanks Bomb them from the air, fire all artillery All must contribute, transformation of our nation Enslave all the rest, work them to the death Fall back in line, kill or be killed The end will justify the means “Mankind is divided into rich and poor, into property owners and exploited; to abstract oneself from this fundamental division; from the antagonism between poor and rich means abstracting oneself from fundamental facts” “The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic. Death is the solution to all problems. No man - no problem.” Convinced of accomplishing what’s necessary for his country Realizing never ending hostility Famine, Pestilence, Death and War Fertile grounds for the horsemen of the Apocalypse All hail the mighty Joseph Stalin Consumed by paranoia Corruption absolute In the name of Stalingrad

Epitaph (of a fallen wall) Death – A transitional state Inevitable Fallen Empire – new life will sprout From the crumbled walls (pre-chorus) The end of eras Marks the beginning of New hopes and dreams May they last forever more Absolution – Process of Acceptance Reaping what’s sown Emancipation – The Shedding of skin Embracing the unknown (pre-chorus) (chorus) False prophets, Deceivers The ones who schemed this grand illusion Stand on trial, Face judgement Gaze into your cesspool of corruption Abdicate, redeem yourselves Feel the pain of everlasting remorse (solo – Louis) Life – Twilight sets on the sins Beneath the skin Predestination – conformed to the herd It’s the blind leading the blind (pre-chorus) (chorus) Cancerous tumors infects us all Poisonous minds regurgitates - on the innocents (Cannibalized, infanticide) Cannibalization of our children A ray of hope is extinguished - by your epitaph (solo - Louis) An empire falls only to be taken The gluttons of power endlessly - feed off our ignorance (Cannibalized, infanticide) Who will win the Arms race of Mutual Destruction? Perpetual conflict enslaved - to repeat history (solo – Luc) Distracted by superficialities Mesmerized in chasing pipe dreams Like rats running in place Churning the wheel of deception
