The honourable thrall, or the last remnants of Peter's second epistle shrugged
Slaves go to sleep knowing when morning comes
They will rattle their fetters in unison, accompanied by the trumpets call
Again, again, again and again the hammer will fall
We’re made of flesh stronger than steel, and these chains are old
The slaves went to rest with hands worked to the bone,
from tearing and ripping on chains bloody from days of dust and stone
Flesh, nails and teeth against iron forged,
but when morning comes their work will be of another sort
O, Revenge and Rage!
O, Day of Wrath!
O, Retribution!
We´re here for your demise -
not our absolution
From our breast our sense of pride was torn
They said it was holy to endure!
But by the lashes of the whip a dream was born
We will be the honourable thrall no more
By our lungs the trumpets sound
we are gathered here before the Throne
Not to bow in genuflexion
But in honour of Eve's first transgression!
We´re not here to be absolved
Nor to sigh before the Throne
Ignorant to what the Book will find
We cry REJOICE! The End is nigh!
Lo! the Judge from heaven descends
Greeted with spears and torches aflame
Day of wrath and doom impending
both Book and Throne in ashes ending
