The Hellfire Sermon

from Mephisto's Appealing by Dawn of Oblivion

/

about

A re-recording of the popular b-side on the Haunted EP.
We love playing this song live as it's almost impossible to stand still, unless you get reminded on the day at rehearsal when Jonas moved his head like a walking pigeon...

lyrics

Lyrics:

Wanted it all in my hands
But it went down into a lie
Scarred faces of innocence
Caught up in a line waiting to die
Decadent lives, virtue and pride
Nuclear wifes in sinister orgasm

CHORUS
Apocalyptic fingers crossed
Humanities decease
Warlords struggling when nature calls
Overwhelming seas

In armaments race we’re obliged to pay
With our lives, with our souls
In polluting skies as Freon tides
We take our potion, the ulcer flows
A thousand years of poverty and agony
Where evolution cracks, chaos commands

CHORUS*2

So you wanted it all in your hand
But it went down into a lie
Your scarred face of the innocence
Caught up in a line waiting to die
A thousand years of poverty and agony
Where evolution cracks, chaos commands
