Age of Excuse III Songtext
von Mgła

Out of howling of prophets
And curses of the righteous
In the ivory halls
A new kind of champion is bred

Herostrates for the modern day
High on good conscience
A noblest of sufferers on disinformation highway

At the end of the day, it′s the same old script
Do you believe in victory or do you hail defeat?

Those finaglers of justice
Expert wrights in deceit
Carvers of the crooked timber
And their finely tuned farce
Proclaiming anger and rage
Under the mortal threat it thrives

At the end of the day, it's the same old script
Do you believe in victory or do you hail defeat?

Ersatz, revolt!
Ersatz, rebellion!


For a new world would come
Every once in a while
Purer, brighter, clearer, better

And the last of misbelievers
Will be trampled in the greatest of marches
Toward the radiant future
Where sheep are promised fangs

And only after the graves are filled
With remains of dissidents
And the frame of reference is torched
Together with forbidden thoughts
Then, and only then
The disciple is relieved
The true believer has overcome the evils
Of engineering of dissent

At the bottom of things, it′s the same old script
Do you believe in victory or do you hail defeat?

Ersatz, revolt!
Ersatz, rebellion!

For a new world would come
Every once in a while
Purer, brighter, clearer, better


Ersatz purpose
Ersatz alliance
Ersatz ideals
Ersatz communion
