A Thin Veil Lyrics


An endless sea of corpses

A stench of foul decay

Thin veil of civilization

Dissipating with each body torched

Inherited war of attrition

Glutton for hell and bloodshed

No longer who they once were

Becoming a pig for the slaughter

A lesson in fear

Shattering the veil

With each new kill

One with the primal self

Mass

Grave

Vault

Contains the severed mask

Humanity’s nature enfolded

Behind the facade

We are the killer

We are the machine

We are what we distrust

And what we hate

A corpse of humanity

Infested by worms

The enemy decimated

A look of mortification

Staring back with a throat slit wide

Placing the head upon the altar

A sacrifice to violence

Perpetuate the compulsion

To end all life

A lesson in fear

Shattering the veil

With each new kill

One with the primal self

Mass

Grave

Vault

Contains the severed mask
