/ LYRICS

I'll never let you criticise
Nothing will suffice in your eyes
I'm so surprised
No one told me you’re so unwise

You told me that the time will pass
Nothing will be as clean as glass
The filth didn't last
You can now sit on the grass

Pay me the fortune I deserve
For the treasure I helped you preserve
Your legendary greed
Is the last thing that you need

Defy me to prove you have the nerve
It's too late to let your mind swerve
I’m not part of your breed
You're powerless, you cannot lead

Drown
Purify
Let the liquid flow
Take away our mind, our breath
Be the weapon in the accomplishment of our life

Burst
Sanctify
Let the nature blow
Show us your vigour, your strength
Demonstrate the vitality that lies beneath our feet

Stunning flock
Offered to you by the gods
Countless oxen
The divine offspring

Immortal
Flawless
Nothing seems to reach them

They spoiled you
I think they don't know the truth

Of this chapter I'll be the witness
My candour is in distress
The deal they caress
By my eyes I will bless

The silver guards
Try to protect the yards
From this man
But he will discard

Divine, frenetic, powerful
The sentence will be
Sublime, majestic, beautiful
The nature I see

Denial
Bargaining

You'll never recognise the truth
You will be judged
It's not over

Only your perfidy soothes you
Dragged in the sludge
Chase you forever

Furious
Exhausted
All this for nothing

Have mercy on us
Disheartened
He was bluffing
