Lyrics

Burn the books of hate, poisoning the mind,

Burning books of hate symbolizes rejecting and eliminating prejudiced ideologies that poison the mind.

For aeons and aeons, they have misguided mankind

Throughout history, misguided beliefs have persisted and influenced humanity for countless ages.

Ignite your church, your mosque, your synagogue

Encouraging defiance against religious institutions such as churches, mosques, and synagogues.

We will never bow for any demagogue

Rejecting submission to any charismatic leader or speaker.

Sins of the past, terror from the vault

Reflection on historical sins and the emergence of terror from the collective past.

The cause of global conflict, it’s all your fault

Assigning blame for global conflicts to the collective actions of humanity.

Read between the lies, and the sickening doctrines

Encouraging critical thinking and questioning established doctrines filled with lies.

They’ve been planning your demise, for many centuries

Suggesting a long-standing plan to bring about the downfall of individuals over centuries.

They broke your free will, you followed them like sheep

Highlighting the loss of personal autonomy due to blind obedience to authority.

Now you pay the price, as you pray your soul to keep

Consequences faced now as a result of blindly following oppressive ideologies.

Humanity’s demise, a blessing not a curse

Viewing the collapse of humanity as a positive event rather than a negative one.

Sins of the past, Terror from the vault

Reiteration of historical sins and the resulting terror.

The cause of global conflict, it’s all your fault

Repeating the idea that global conflicts are a consequence of collective human actions.

Step into the void, the portal to the dark

Inviting to embrace darkness and enter a realm of profound change.

We’ve come from beyond, to bring the day of wrath

Portraying a force from beyond aiming to bring about a day of reckoning.

You set the world aflame, nothing more to gain

Rejecting the pursuit of worldly gains, suggesting a destructive path with no purpose.

The flames are growing higher as we build your funeral pyre

Symbolic imagery of building a funeral pyre, representing the consequences of human actions.

Humanity’s demise; a blessing not a curse

Reiterating that the collapse of humanity is viewed as a blessing rather than a curse.

A new breed will arise, for better or for worse

Anticipating the emergence of a new generation, with uncertain outcomes.

Burn the books of hate, poisoning the mind,

Repetition of the call to burn books of hate to eliminate toxic ideologies.

For aeons and aeons, they have misguided mankind

Reiterating the longstanding influence of misguided beliefs on mankind.

Ignite your mosque, your church, your synagogue

Encouraging resistance against religious institutions, regardless of faith.

We will never bow for any demagogue

Rejecting submission to any charismatic leader or speaker, emphasizing defiance.

Sins of the past, terror from the vault

Reflecting on historical sins and the emergence of terror from the collective past.

The cause of global conflict, it’s all your fault

Attributing the cause of global conflict to the collective actions of humanity.

Humanity’s demise; a blessing not a curse

Reiterating the positive perspective on humanity's collapse as a blessing.

A new breed will arise, for better or for worse

Anticipating the rise of a new generation, acknowledging the uncertainty of outcomes.
