Illusions of Heaven Shield Us From Hell
Steeped in silence
(blood-red violence)
the beast inside awakes.
Guard the border
(endless slaughter)
the war has just begun.
A dead lamb bleats
(a gruesome feat)
and karma skins our souls.
A missing child
(report's been filed)
we'll never eat his sins.
Stripped of mercy
(controversy)
we bathe in deadened stars.
