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
