Nailed to the Cross Songtext
von Enragement

Never bite the hand that feeds
For it is the fist that beats
Freedom denied
Compelled to comply
Dehumanised generations
Legitimised subjugation
Order retained through pain, through disdain
Strict punishments arouse horror
Dead dissidents cannot terrorise the empire
Divide et impera
Vile abjection, total subjection
The onus to serve is what you deserve
With servitude comes gratitude
Dare to derogate and you seal your fate
Retribution, mass execution
Pretentious public democide
Six thousand slaves crucified


Via Appia, the road to Rome
Masses of crosses by its side
Via Appia, an ode bestowed
To cruelty, authority and sins atoned
Carrion birds cloud the sky
Crows tear the flesh and peck out the eyes
Swarms of insects multiply
Wounds fill with hungry parasites
Blood will not coagulate
The weak begin to exsanguinate
Septic organs start to bloat
Death is the only antidote
Nailed to the cross
Fatigue prevails, muscles fail
Those who still breathe asphyxiate
Nailed to the cross
Until but bones remain
