lyrics

Built of deception
This artificial world of lies can exist no more
Reflected through the centuries of crippled generations
The pillars, that hold your kingdom are rotten to the core
You would rather hide behind the high walls of your illusions
To ignore the unpleasant truth, that you already know
Don’t reject the facts, throw away fallacies
Get up off your knees
Take a look around, no more prejudices
Now it’s time to see what lies beneath
What was hidden away, was forbidden to say
What you couldn’t imagine in the worst nightmare
The truth you can not bear
We live like corpses in common grave
We are lying silently and wait
For certain that they have created
To be forgotten
Our history is a complete fake
An endless cycle of pain and hate
The violence is cultivated
To keep us subordinate
We avoid inconvenient questions
Proclaiming ourselves innocent
When an explosion occurs in a reactor
When we drown the crew in sea full of our secrets and misery
Ask yourselves what lies beneath
We are responsible for our treacherous inaction
Driven by our misconceptions
We encourage hypocrisy
Way, that we unquestionably follow to the abyss
Should undoubtedly be cancelled
We must accept, what lies beneath
Continuing to turn a blind eye to what’s going on
We doom ourselves to repeating the same mistakes
We will never get rid of this burden
Until we accept ourselves with all what lies beneath
Reflected through the centuries of crippled generations
The pillars, that hold your kingdom are rotten to the core
You would rather hide behind the high walls of your illusions
To ignore the unpleasant truth, that you already know
What you’ve always known

Of Sunless Realms

Since Spenser Moore replaced Blackburn I’ve frankly appreciated Inferi far more. I feel that his drumming improves the overall sound of the band a great deal, but it’s probably just a personal style preference. Either way, Of Sunless Realms was a great foreshadowing of the epic Vile Genesis. Metallurgical Fire
