South Winds - Ihsahn

Static

Dogmatic

Death cult

Fanatic

Hidden

In the open

Masked

By tradition

Your face, your heart

Fervent to obey

Your face, your heart

You gave it all away

I’d rather live a life in sin

And take the devil’s fall

Than let the madmen of belief

Make fools and martyrs of us all

Get up off your knees

Get up off your knees

Your burden is a lie

So, get up off your knees

Lift your head up high

Lift your head up high

Your burden is a lie

So, lift your head up high

Your code

Your line

Your mouth

Your spine

A hammer

To fictitious sins

A cold field

To south winds

What kind of promises

Could justify

The sacrifice you make?

This shame and fear

You force upon this

World for heaven’s sake

Life you forsake

Hope ran out

In the desert sand

Cancel all flights

To the promised land
