The Ancient and the Vile

歌詞

They wouldn't understand even if they looked Into the mouth of madness They wouldn't comprehend How small they are Nothing would be different Even if they understood Darkness that surrounds is far greater Than it ever could be Lifeless – yet moving through ancient paths Purpose – to fulfill this being with pain Enslaver – of all creatures small and great Releasing – only those pure in mind The blind shall follow and obey Slaving through night and through the day Kingdoms taken away from man Incineration guided by deaths hand It loathes all good and clean It spreads the flies and disease The unworthy creatures it hates They wouldn't understand even if they stood Before the ancient and the vile They wouldn't comprehend How small they are Before the ancient and the vile They wouldn't understand even if they looked Into the mouth of madness They wouldn't comprehend The mouth of madness Feeding – on the flesh on dying gods Sinking – mankind's hope is sinking now Strengthening – those strong in mind Anti-human – slowly reaching it's goal They hold tight to their beliefs and symbols Choking by the chain around their necks A stolen idea kept as something of their own Lies upon lies to keep the crowds satisfied Nothing on nothing does not make sense The ancient and the vile are the ones To break this illusion They wouldn't understand even if they stood Before the ancient and the vile They wouldn't comprehend How small they are Before the ancient and the vile They wouldn't understand even if they looked Into the mouth of madness They wouldn't comprehend The mouth of madness Demand a life without slavery Our deaths will be remembered Deny the manmade deities Our will carries us on Expand all your knowing Our strength is not in numbers Gather all your knowledge This will be our strength They hold tight to their beliefs and symbols Choking by the chain around their necks A stolen idea kept as something of their own Lies upon lies to keep the crowds satisfied Nothing on nothing does not make sense The ancient and the vile are the ones To break this illusion
