lyrics

Endless war encompassing the Earth
This prophecy has cursed us since birth
Praise be the spirits of vengeance and hate
Sever your tongue, our deaths we await!
O’ can you feel it
You’d have to be mad to believe it

Fall to your knees, praise the new king
Offer your life, rejoice and sing
Banners of war, tattered and torn
Blood stains these sands forever scorned

Life ever changed
Broken and displaced
Ruins of hope are that remain
This battle for your lives fight through the pain
If you don’t stand now… Your children will perish in the flame

Bones of the defiant shatter
Broken and weak are they
Cries of innocence echoes
Exterminate the organic plague

Running what feels like forever
Sentient machines on your heel (they're gaining ground)
This overwhelming sensation of flesh burning and ripped away
Consumed by the intricate creations of science
to no God do they pray
For we rue the day

When the abomination took hold
The Singularity foretold
The Precipice of our destruction
Annihilate mankind
Created by design
Purified by nuclear light

Only Cowards Kneel
To a false God I won’t yield
This is your undoing
Only Cowards Kneel
To a false God I won’t yield
I am your undoing

Tell me, do you bleed
Offer your soul, submit to me

Rise now claim your throne
Nemesis baptized by blood
Defying this once mortal shell
Consumed by the reckless obsession
to become a God
Destiny smiles only at the brave
Give your glory unto to the light
Surrender nothing more than fear
Frozen is your mind

You must kneel
Coward, kneel
You must kneel
Coward kneel

Offer your life to steel and machine
you will be reborn
Let go of your humanity
Assimilate and conform
Amongst the haze you try to flee
hearing screams of torment and agony
There’s nothing left, only ruins remain
Our pursuit of enlightenment was it all in vain
