Warpledge
Fleshgod Apocalypse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tearing acts to destroy
They're breeding a slaughter of the mortal race
With the foolish right to immolate
It's bleeding life on this soil
Inglorious existence is condemned to crawl
All the rage of the slayer unfolds as King Minos

Calls the flesh, tribute of souls!
On the stone lay the fourteen!

For my father's oppression
Dictated by who deceives and depraves
Under the weight of salvation I bend, my fear's

Calling from the island
The screaming silent voice
Forever
This curse endlessly damnates the fourteen sons of Greece

I, before the sea
Know there's only one vision in me
The solution is clear
No more enclosed in disease
And finally free from all fears
Towards those lands
Where the glory solemnly descends
On my luminous spear
If I will fall, the black sails'll appear!

Bound, on the enemies' field
The screams of the innocents resonate
Where the candor's food for the beast
Down in this fortress of sacrifice
Conceived by the one who detested the gods
I am destined to stumble and fall as King Minos

All the ones who will try
To step into this place they will not return




They'll be crumbled by the darkest lord
They'll fall

Living without honor and in shame


All the rage of the slayer unfolds as King Minos

They view human bodies as offerings for their cause


On the stone lay the fourteen!
Fourteen human sacrifices are laid upon the altar


For my father's oppression
In response to the tyranny of my father

Controlled by someone who is dishonest and corrupt


Under the weight of salvation I bend, my fear's
Under the pressure of trying to save my people, I am fearful

Hearing a cry for help from a distant place

The voice that cannot be heard but only felt


Forever
For all eternity

I, before the sea
I, standing in front of the vast ocean


Know there's only one vision in me
I have a clear understanding of what must be done


The solution is clear
The answer to our problems is obvious


No more enclosed in disease
No longer trapped in a sick and twisted reality


And finally free from all fears
At last, liberated from all fear


Towards those lands
Moving towards those distant lands


Where the glory solemnly descends
Where greatness and power are found


On my luminous spear
Empowered by my shining weapon


If I will fall, the black sails'll appear!
If I am defeated, the sign of defeat will appear


Bound, on the enemies' field
Captured and held captive by the enemy


The screams of the innocents resonate
The cries of the innocent victims echo through the air


Where the candor's food for the beast
Where honesty and innocence are devoured by evil


Down in this fortress of sacrifice
In this place of death and suffering


Conceived by the one who detested the gods
Created by someone who opposed the divine


I am destined to stumble and fall as King Minos
I am fated to die like King Minos


All the ones who will try
Anyone who dares to enter


To step into this place they will not return
Will never leave this place alive


They'll be crumbled by the darkest lord
They'll be crushed by the most evil force


They'll fall
They'll be defeated
