Soulfly : Ritual

Lyrics
1. RITUAL
Refugee
Silence agony
Crawling back to me
My inner Hell set free
Sacrifice
Acceptance at a price
Solidarity
Fuck you I am integrity
Insurrection
Ritual aggression
Ritual
Ritual
Culminate
While we instigate
See my scars of hate
This is the new dark age
Build upon
A war that can’t be won
Infernal agony
Just set me free
Insurrection
Ritual aggression
Ritual
Ritual
When you're facing the end
Your pilgrimage begins
Order out of chaos
Order from disorder
Ritual
Ritual
Order from disorder
Ritual
2. DEAD BEHIND THE EYES
Sky burns no return
You sweat the hate from your flesh
Rejoice through the void
Consumed by loss of breath
Human greed is our destruction
The abyss of your seduction
Demure suffer the grief a burden to bear
No pain walk on fire
Holy mystic aura
Cenobites I know your kind
Dead behind the eyes
Self-inflicted cenobites
Dead behind the eyes
Endless deathless
A cryptic inner fear
What’s left the wretched
And those who speak in your ear
Eviscerate your own impressions
Die along with your transgressions
Menace penance horrific path to ascension
No pain walk on fire
Holy mystic aura
Cenobites I know your kind
Dead behind the eyes
Self-inflicted cenobites
Dead behind the eyes
All the flesh eaters skin crawlers
They tear you limb from limb
Blood feeders Hellraisers
These vermin feed my rage
Dead behind the eyes
Do you purge fire shed light
Or let them come tonight
Nephilim Seraphim
The lost paradise
Cenobites
I know your kind
You're all dead
So fucking dead
Behind the eyes
3. THE SUMMONING
I walk the path of divination
Escape the shackles of subjugation
Labor and beauty was divine
A barren land I leave behind
Broken bones
Bloodlust
War drums
And swollen lungs
Will you take my soul
will you take my world
I fear no one
The strength I summon
Extermination came of age
Our innocence tortured and chained
Exploited by your own reflections
Your golden kingdoms rotting infections
Smoking stone
Breach of trust
Dethrone
I bleed alone
Will you make me whole
will you make me holy
Into the storm I run
The strength I summon
The sickness the rapture the furious rape
Tyrants I fear tyrants I hear
The cosmic sun blind us and guide us
You envy the dead the future unclear
With loaded hands "execution”
Will you take my soul
will you take my world
I fear no one
The strength I summon
4. EVIL EMPOWERED
Bow down to the greatest corrupter
The second coming of the Antichrist unearthed
Live with a curse
Kill in the name of God
The Devil's won
Knife in the back we ignored the truth
Rise above - rise above
Rise above - rise above
Can you see through the veil that covers you
Rise above - rise above
Rise above - rise above
Evil in place of power
Awoke by a thief in the night of retribution
Pandemic welcoming of your final solution
We are cursed
An idol to be your God
The Devil’s won
Knife in the back we ignored the truth
Rise above - rise above
Rise above - rise above
Can you see through the veil that covers you
Rise above - rise above
Rise above - rise above
Evil in place of power
Knife in the back we ignored the truth
Rise above - rise above
Rise above - rise above
Can you see through the veil that covers you
Rise above - rise above
Rise above - rise above
Evil in place of power
5. UNDER RAPTURE
Under the blaze of the midnight sun
To wreak destruction forward we go
Expose the pain now you reap what you sow
Plague and storms they will return
Cut from life - face the light
Cut from life - face the light
Born to suffer - buried under
God’s Hammer - under rapture
Cut from life
Aeons descended from the Heavens
Ever defiant open your eyes
Abomination of desolation
No one leaves until it’s time
Cut from life - face the light
Cut from life - face the light
Born to suffer - buried under
God’s Hammer - under rapture
Cut from life
Igneous ophidian darkness inversion
Splendor of all that’s inhuman
Rapture rapture rapture
Immortal ascension divine intervention
Killing intentions self-immolation
Rapture rapture rapture
Rapture rapture
Cut from life
Holy gospel of savage faith
Grotesque glory reclaimed
Rapture rapture rapture
Primitive weapons for sacrifice
Pagan fire poison messiah
Rapture rapture rapture
Rapture rapture rapture
I see where the demons dwell
Fighting for your life
Like lambs to the slaughter
6. DEMONIZED
"From the throne came flashes of lightning
Rumblings and peals of thunder
Before the throne seven lamps were blazing
These are the seven spirits of God"
Fire born from the emptiness
Lost souls faith relinquished
Red skies - red skies
Thunderous - thunderous
Thunderous - thunderous
Demonized
These omens Jupiter's gaze
Visions of raising Caine
Prayers torn asunder
These hollow grounds breed murder
Drowned God - drowned God
Thunderous - thunderous
Thunderous - thunderous
Demonized
Are you judging my morals
And my lack of faith
Intolerance of nothing
That is sacrosanct
Disgracing the arrogant
I'll craft my throne from pestilence
Malevolent you're nothing
You're all dead to me - dead
7. BLOOD ON THE STREET
Chain link and concrete
Blood on the streets
Different eyes and hair
The scales of justice don't care
Chain link and concrete
Blood on the streets
Foreboding God Complex
She never knew she was next
Like Devils in uniform
Forced traditions to conform
With the coming of caustic hordes
Casualties become the norm
Can you hear them
Let them speak
New dark ages ice my veins
Net worth different at birth
To protect and to serve
Fuck that are you insane
When they fall they fall strong
Real strength lies in resolve
Dead justice has failed us
Rogue power crooked laws
Can you hear them
Let them speak
Can you hear them
Let them speak
"Na fronteira entre o céu e o inferno
22 milímetros de ferro"
Testimony of survivor's tale
Triumphant verdict the dead don't care
Unseen terror a horror dream
Guardian lost what does it mean
Chain link and concrete
Blood on the streets
Different eyes and hair
The scales of justice don't care
Chain link and concrete
Blood on the streets
Foreboding God Complex
She never knew she was next
She was next
8. BITE THE BULLET
I am part of the war
I have been here before
Grease the tires spill the blood
Innocence dragged through the mud
Anger fear rising contradiction
Suffer pester carrying this affliction
Bite - bite the bullet
Bite - bite the bullet
Bite - bite the bullet
Bite - bite the bullet
I am the master
Of my enemies
Feed the lions on the run
Crosses covered weighing a ton
Power hatred ashes in your mouth
Demons shadows turn you inside out
Bite - bite the bullet
Bite - bite the bullet
Bite - bite the bullet
Bite - bite the bullet
Only hate remains
Hostile visions
Beyond resistance
Grotesque hollow
I am becoming
Summon warriors
Gods of the old
War eternal
war immortal
Bite - bite the bullet
Bite - bite the bullet
Bite - bite the bullet
Bite - bite the bullet
9. FEEDBACK!
Vanishing point of the black top
Shithole venue smells like rot
A thousand nights I left behind
Another tribe another time
Feedback - feedback
Um dois três quatro
Not a fucking regret
A brotherhood at stage right
A circle pit night after night
A congregation packed full of sinners
Another road another winter
Feedback - feedback
Um dois três quatro
Not a fucking regret
Broken bottles thrown in a fight
Cannot move sold out tonight
Stage dive no fucking glamour
Tonight's show it's all that matters
Feedback - feedback
Not a fucking regret
Not a fucking regret
Many were cursed and many alive
Carry a torch for those who have died
Carve your skin a mosaic forever
Never say die never say never
Never say never
No regret
Never say never
