Suicide Waltz

from Atlas by The Santtu Pesonen Project

/

lyrics

There you sit on your throne of bones
Can't quite tell if you're friend or foe
Your mouth runs like an engine of hate
Will it ever run out of shit to say?

I refuse to recognize you as my king
Your malevolence infects your kin
We'll leave you to writhe within your walls
Until the gods heed our call

Watch as we dance while the sun bleeds its surface red

Join us in this dance of genocide
See which side will be the one left alive
It's the greatest war known to mankind
Your words turn into bullets and so we die

You stand behind the wall called government
But don't count your blessings just yet
Someday when you go to sleep, you'll find
All this time, you've slept in a bed of knives

Oh so mighty you stand
While we bleed by your hand
But you won't be there long
Someday, we'll watch you fall

I won't join your dance of genocide
Too blind to see you sleep in a bed of knives

Fuck your homicidal agenda
Fuck your words, they flirt with betrayal
