We grew up full of boldness
Unaware of our own ignorance
We kept in mind our goal
To live for something more
But how were we to know
That we are betrayed by our lords
The ancient gods of chaos
Persuaded them to sell us The lords are dull and greedy
The gods are sly and perfidious
And they deserve each other
Sharing the feast of suffering
Their toadies keep inspiring
The shameful tale disarming
We are the chosen ones
Let’s turn our blood to dung
It’s honorable they say
This fate is best for mortals
Prepare to give yourself
To make the ground more fertile
Chthonica…
Chthonica…
Enchained and sentenced
I’m lying defenseless
And gazing at the uncaring sky
How proud should we be If our destiny is Eternal self-sacrifice
The sky plays dead
The stone turns red
The ground will bring our daily bread
Alliance with the ether
Was gainless and dissolved
The depths became our patron
In trade for blood and souls
So then began the new age
Of fear and outrage
The self-sustaining system
Perverted pride of victims
The deity of soil
As ugly as amazing
Is growing from below
The hecatomb is rising
Chthonica…
Chthonica…
Enchained and sentenced
I’m lying defenseless
And gazing at the uncaring sky
How proud should we be If our destiny is Eternal self-sacrifice
The sky plays dead
The stone turns red
The ground will bring our daily bread
We grew up full of boldness
Unaware of our own ignorance
We kept in mind our goal
To live for something more
But how were we to know
That we are betrayed by our lords
The ancient gods of chaos
Persuaded them to enslave us Enchained and sentenced
I’m lying defenseless
And gazing at the uncaring sky
No grumble, no hope
No way to elope
And throughout is the eternal chthonica
