Slaves Songtext
von Earth Eater

Constant ill reminders
Daily deadly incidents haunt us
What will it take to inspire us
What message will we pass down

Take glances into the mirror
Take into heart what you see
Dead leaves take flight in the winter
A warm reminder that

Forgiveness given lifts burdens
Like water off a ducks back
Division spreads like a fire
Lies told disperse as truths

Lies told disperse as truths

Forsaken convoluted
Mistaken reservations
Oaths taken, for wrong reasons
Disagreements bonds broken


Toxic cultures of religion
With more blood spilt than wars
Manipulate the weak minded
Always left needing more

Constant ill reminders
Daily deadly incidents haunt us
What will it take to inspire us
What message will we pass down

To hate thy neighbor is doctrine
To bind and gag the whore
Rather than showing mercy
Growth eludes us once more

Forsaken convoluted
Mistaken reservations
Oaths taken, for wrong reasons
Disagreements bonds broken

Toxic cultures of religion
With more blood spilt than wars
Manipulate the weak minded
Always left needing more


Take glances into the mirror
Take into heart what you see
Dead leaves take flight in the winter
A warm reminder that

Forgiveness given lifts burdens
Like the water off a ducks back
Division spreads like a fire
Lies told disperse as truths

To the keeper of the scythe and the mask
Take those who you lay claim
To the bringer of all destruction
Take those who eviscerate
To the last hope for those who hate
May they rest in pardoned state
To the few who cry out inside unheard and slowly wither away

Keep your head down
Your time′s not up
Your past is not your future

To the keeper of the scythe and the mask
Take those who you lay claim
To the bringer of all destruction
Take those who eviscerate
To last hope for those who hate
May they rest in pardoned state
To the few who cry out inside unheard and slowly wither away

All isn't lost, endure
Take up your sword and shield
Make safe the passageway
For those less fortunate
Smite the judgmental church
For they don′t have a place
In this new godless world
Religion takes no slaves
