In Effigy Lyrics


The gathering starts again

Around the portraits set ablaze

Ancient rites of tears and pain

To purify the sinners' race

They paint the demons black

They curse the nameless ghouls

Let us wander to hell and back

Across the wastelands of human souls

Between the darkest minds

I see doctrines make them blind

The fire's burning high

Upon the wicked men

But there is only a thin line

Between the vicious and the right

Do you remember the days when we were young enough?

When nothing stopped us from being friends forevermore?

Do you remember what divided our families?

I can't remember why we keep fighting at all

This time I'm hiding for real

Don't wanna come back and see for real

My burning effigy

And hear the voices wanting me dead

...though I walk through the valley of death

I fear no evil, for I am myself

Light is coming to give back what you stole

Light is coming to me in the night

Between the darkest minds

Superstition makes them blind

The seeds have failed to reach the soil

And now the fruits are long gone

Between the darkest minds

I see religion makes them blind
