Chthonica -

We grew up full of boldness

Unaware of our own ignorance

We kept in mind our goal

To live for something more

But how were we to know

That we are betrayed by our lords

The ancient gods of chaos

Persuaded them to sell us

The lords are dull and greedy

The gods are sly and perfidious

And they deserve each other

Sharing the feast of suffering

Their toadies keep inspiring

The shameful tale disarming

We are the chosen ones

Let’s turn our blood to dung

It’s honorable they say

This fate is best for mortals

Prepare to give yourself

To make the ground more fertile

Chthonica…

Chthonica…

Enchained and sentenced

I’m lying defenseless

And gazing at the uncaring sky

How proud should we be

If our destiny is

Eternal self-sacrifice

The sky plays dead

The stone turns red

The ground will bring our daily bread

Alliance with the ether

Was gainless and dissolved

The depths became our patron

In trade for blood and souls

So then began the new age

Of fear and outrage

The self-sustaining system

Perverted pride of victims

The deity of soil

As ugly as amazing

Is growing from below

The hecatomb is rising

Chthonica…

Chthonica…

Enchained and sentenced

I’m lying defenseless

And gazing at the uncaring sky

How proud should we be

If our destiny is

Eternal self-sacrifice

The sky plays dead

The stone turns red

The ground will bring our daily bread

We grew up full of boldness

Unaware of our own ignorance

We kept in mind our goal

To live for something more

But how were we to know

That we are betrayed by our lords

The ancient gods of chaos

Persuaded them to enslave us

Enchained and sentenced

I’m lying defenseless

And gazing at the uncaring sky

No grumble, no hope

No way to elope

And throughout is the eternal chthonica
