Lyrics
We cart the cadavers to the edge of the city
We transport dead bodies to the outskirts of the city.
Where the they will burn away the plague from their bones
These corpses will be cremated to eliminate the plague within.
The bodies we have loved in life, emaciated, watch our eyes
Emaciated bodies, once dear to us in life, observe our despairing eyes.
In final moments, drain of hope
In their final moments, these bodies lose all hope.
Barred doors, the house of the lord averts its gaze
The doors of the house of the lord are shut, avoiding the sight of frozen bodies scattered in the streets.
To the frozen bodies strewn in the streets
Abandoned to choose between shelter and food, the starving population hungers.
Forced to choose between shelter or food
Forced to make a choice between seeking refuge or satisfying hunger.
A starving population needs to eat
A population in famine must find sustenance.
We will dine on the ones who have locked us outside of their gates, to die
We will consume those who have left us outside their gates to perish.
Wolves devour our young turned away by the beautiful people inside
Wolves devour our offspring rejected by the privileged people indoors.
Huddled masses of the dead
Masses of the dead huddle together.
Give us thy flesh, our daily bread
We ask for their flesh as our daily sustenance.
They would ask for our unwavering civility
They may request our unwavering civility, but I refuse to negotiate for protein.
But I will no longer bargain with protein
I will no longer bargain or compromise.
Descend, my feral horde, upon these coward men
My wild horde, descend upon these cowardly men.
A labyrinth of lies is the only obstacle between us and them
Only a maze of lies stands between us and them.
