The lyrics to Slaughter to Prevail's song Misery are in Russian and it talks about the search for truth and understanding while trying to navigate a world that seems divided. It talks about the human condition and how people are like words in a book that are long dead, but we continue to exist in different planes. The song describes humans as slaves to their own ignorant and fearful minds, and how we have cursed and abandoned our own teachings of love.
The song is sung from the perspective of someone who has been exposed to the evil that exists in the world and has allowed it to take over their mind and actions. They have given in to their primal instincts and are now seeking misery and chaos. The lyrics speak of a crisis of existence, where the search for meaning and unity in a world that is consumed by hate and pain can lead to insanity and death. The song is a warning against giving in to our dark thoughts and urges, as they can only lead to destruction and despair.

@SlavaPonomarev
SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL - Страдание (MISERY)
Страдание! Время понять разделение единства !
Мы в поисках всей правды, но врем друг другу в лицо.
Человек как слово в книге давно уже мертво,
Но оставаясь в других планах многомерно.
Изврат пришел во власть, он знает что мы рабы,
Рабы умов, слепые звери дрожащие от страха.
Мы прокляли себя и предали и нет у нас учения любви,
Мы остаемся глупыми! Мы хаотично создаем, что не подвластно нам
Контролю и ходим на цепи у не живой толпы!
Ты разрушил свой мир, прогнил с ядра кипящей красной лавы
До больной земной коры
Ты прогнил с ног до головы, с кипящей красной крови
До серой не живой толпы
Ты прогнил
Страдание порождает кризис твоей действительности,
Приводя тебя к безумству или смерти, но только истинные Боги
В силах осознать жизнь как совершенство, и контролировать его!
ЖИВИ ИЛИ УМРИ !
Изврат пришел во власть! Он знает что мы рабы! Живые..
Мы в поисках страдания, мы в поисках чумы!
Мы прокляли себя и предали, и нет нам оправдания !!!!
Сейчас мы потеряли уважение к себе,
И наши знания жаждут разделения !
Единство потеряло смысл бытия, существование ! ЕЕЕ!
Мы прокляли себя, и предали, и нет нам оправдания !
Наши знания жаждут разделения ! Единство потеряло смысл бытия!
Изврат пришел во власть, он знает что мы рабы
Рабы умов, рабы толпы!
Мы прокляли себя и предали, мы в поисках чумы!
Мы прокляты, здесь сгорели все мосты ! УУУОООООООУ!
