In Flames - Graveland Lyrics


Mankind - proud conqueror and king

swings its flag of primal glory to the winds

Titans of the power-myth that failed

Neanderthal hunger for the flesh of war so frail

So weak, so hollow-minded

the primat flock responds

the jester race submits

For each day of war is a failure for man,

enslaved to her mordial genes

Illusions bleed from their fetid cores

bent to their rotten extremes

We, the plague of Terra Firma,

nature´s grand and last mistake

plant the poisoned seed of cancer,

set the severed fruits awake

Burning like frozen relics

in god´s archaic graveland

Burn the visionaire

Kill the ideologies

Mankind must die

The doves and the angels return to their graves

with flames on their pestilent wings

while mushroom-clouds haunt their virginwhite skies

to rape their utopian dreams

Living the last days of evolution´s end

from the nest of humanity, the graveland vultures rend
