Zgripsorum - Of Blood and Saints

from Fertile Soil Compilation Vol. 3 by Loud Rage Music

/

about

Our new single, "Of Blood and Saints" is a tune of questioning divine punishment and lack of compassion, that tries to capture the horrors and misery induced by the Great Lisbon earthquake from 1755.

lyrics

Sound of prayers, so soothing yet so useless
As only death and devastation awaits the wicked creatures of the earth
No begging, no ritual can stop this impending doom, so ruthless
Are his methods, only destruction can guarantee world's rebirth
All hope, decimated, omnipotent redeemer now aims to lay waste
By falling bells, by flaming crosses we'll be chased

Damnation begins, leave everything behind
Purification of mankind
We pray to a butcher with schemes so obscure
Mysteries earthlings cannot penetrate
Endure this ceaseless mayhem for it might have a goal
Survive and rebuild what was once our own

With chaos and despair he feeds
Children who on their mothers' bosoms bleed
Is this the way we atone for our deeds
Devoured by our land, waters swallow the guiltless, a debt paid by all
Vengeful demiurge draws pleasure from sighting toddlers crawl
Through ruins and embers, through fire and decay
Pious kingdom, tormented and betrayed

Damnation begins, leave everything behind
Purification of mankind
We pray to a butcher with schemes so obscure
Mysteries earthlings cannot penetrate
Endure this ceaseless mayhem for it might have a goal
Survive and rebuild what was once our own
