Slaughter of the Innocents Lyrics


Prayers on their lips, blood on their hands

Faith turned to hatred, across the lands

Church bells toll as the slaughter begins

Holy wars fueled by humanity’s sins

Crosses raised high, dripping in red

Pulpits preaching while the children bled

Burning villages, ashes to the skies

The word of God drowned in their cries

God’s name whispered as mothers weep

The graves grow shallow, the wounds run deep

Scriptures twisted, justice denied

In the shadow of saints, humanity died

Slaughter of the innocents, faith turned to war

Killing in the name of the crown they adore

Holy lies sanctified, blood paints the ground

Innocence lost, no mercy to be found

Heretics hunted, the flames grow higher

In the name of salvation, they light the pyre

No room for doubt, no room for peace

The lambs are butchered, the killing won’t cease

God’s name whispered as mothers weep

The graves grow shallow, the wounds run deep

Scriptures twisted, justice denied

In the shadow of saints, humanity died

Slaughter of the innocents, faith turned to war

Killing in the name of the crown they adore

Holy lies sanctified, blood paints the ground

Innocence lost, no mercy to be found

(Laranja)

Fields of corpses, the stench of despair

No savior watches, no heaven’s care

Priests and kings, their hands are stained

Innocence slaughtered, history profaned

Faithless and broken, the innocents fall

Their screams still echo, a curse on us all

In the name of salvation, we’ve damned our own

The slaughter of the innocent, forever known
