It's Nights Like This That Keep Us Alive Lyrics
Carve the eyes out of our heads and slash our tongues if we scream
Throw the noose around the necks of the kin who sew and seek
For we are distant and too far fetched from the themes of unrest
Diverse in resistance - revamped in defying threat
Its nights like this that keep us alive
They shed our skin by the host of salvation
By the skin of my teeth retributions made serene
We never wanted it to be like this
We never wanted sympathy
Those eyes like knives throw a soiled glance of suicide
This torrid struggle is carnage to their fear
Master to servant gagged by tourniquet
Save your breath and savor this moment
For the oath of onslaught in spitting vile
Brings a pompous death to your throne
Its nights like this that keep us alive
Throw the noose around the necks of the kin who sew and seek
For we are distant and too far fetched from the themes of unrest
Diverse in resistance - revamped in defying threat
They shed our skin by the host of salvation
By the skin of my teeth retributions made serene
We never wanted sympathy
This torrid struggle is carnage to their fear
Save your breath and savor this moment
For the oath of onslaught in spitting vile
Brings a pompous death to your throne

during the end of this song there is a spoken part:
"I shall come unto you like a bear whose cubs have been ravished Like a lion I will devour your children and tear out their entrails I will set upon you a ferocious beast who will consume you and your flocks and turn your fields into death."
there is a little bit more that I can't make out, but if anyone knows it, by all means please post it.
I think this song is about a group of people under servitude who rose up against their masters
"Master to servant gagged by tourniquet Save your breath and savor this moment For the oath of onslaught in spitting vile Brings a pompous death to your throne"
pretty much its saying that they rose up and now the master is the servant. That's what I see at least.
