Altar Of Oblivion - A Retreat Into Delusions lyrics

The fear is closing in on us Let the carnival of Cain commence We'll never see the end of days, submit to the pain We shall no longer hold the cards, shatter all rules Hatred confronting hatred Making room for the final clash We're setting foot on a soil that once destroyed our homes Now the panic is changing side; brief shining flash Adapting to hardships and boundaries Hung in the balance, directing our doom We have fallen prey to the lackey of d**h In order to paint us as invaders, we fall Slow agony of starvation Open eruption of hostility We shall drag the world into destruction with us No prospect of peace raining down from the sky Close your eyes, my friend Leave the twinge behind Close your eyes again I'll never leave you Smug and arrogant Bound to throttle us Earning world-wide acclaim Age of diffidence Rigidly holding out Battles of argument Men of illusion break Fall of an idol Summoned to coup d'état Distant from the deed Fear marching with us Retreating into delusions Retreating into delusions Retreating into delusions "Nun, Volk steh auf, und Sturm brich los" "Now, People rise up, and let the Storm break loose"
