HEATHEN BEAST LYRICS

1. Blind Faith

The story starts far back in time when blind faith did perceive the birth of Ram
The twisted truth from scriptures told
A lie upon a lie that built the cornerstone
The lies the lies they feed us.
A king did build this city from bricks and stones
A kingdom that was born for a war not fought, unconquerable he rose.
Ignorance, Hate and Violence the contempt we breed
These are the roads to which blind faith leads

Why do we never question the words a preacher speaks
Why do we never question what we believe
But as the legend goes the king he was dethroned
The eyes now uncovered and the blind did see once more
Ignorance, Hate and Violence the contempt we breed
These are the roads to which blind faith leads

Upon the pedestal he stands a voice so loud and deep
Hear his words and believe the lie you weak pathetic being
Repent not for your sins a slave to religion you are
Blinded by the many lies you, yourself has been lost
They divide and they rule you’re just a pawn in the game
And when the castle comes crumbling down only they remain.

2. Religious Genocide

Blood was spilled invoked religious ire
Armed, they took the streets on a killing spree
The holy shrine an empty space within four walls
The holy shrine a man made god that rules us all
No God would ever warrant no God would justify
The most heinous crime religious genocide
No God would ever warrant no religion did indict
The Slaying of the innocent religious genocide

The one who wields the power his lust, his greed that grows
Exploiting blind faith to watch his empire grow
His minions lead the slaughter the blinded fools don’t know
While they all die in battle the leader’s safe at home.
Suffocate their beliefs ours is the one true god
Words that ring through ‘Hunt them down and kill them all’

The holy land was proclaimed they conquered it by force
Tearing down the structure a blasphemous religious horde
And so the disease spread religions went to war
Ignorant, pathetic mortals killing for their god.
No God would ever warrant no God would justify
The most heinous crime religious genocide
No God would ever warrant no religion did indict
The Slaying of the innocent religious genocide

The scars that never heal these scars will never heal.
Death breeds, hate death breeds, contempt death breeds, malice
Death breeds, Revenge I seek, I will avenge
Don’t believe the empty space don’t believe the lies they've spoke
Don’t believe the preachers words don’t forsake yourself to a counterfeit god

3. Ayodhya Burns

They came, they conquered a myth beneath the sand
A holy structure built over beliefs it stands
One day they razed, set ablaze the walls did not withstand
A broken faith above a myth beneath the sand
A nation was plagued a riot ravaged the land
While the pyres burned no resolution at hand
Loss of life and livelihood damage to public property
Not one who is accountable for the suffering and misery
Ayodhya Burns
Divided by faith, Torn by violence
Nothing holy, nothing sacred
Ayodhya Desecrated

Holy wars once waged return to haunt the grave
Empty promises, betrayed religious honour at stake
The cries, the screams of women and children slain
No mercy no compassion redemption for the years of pain.
Ayodhya Burns
Divided by faith, Torn by violence
Nothing holy, nothing sacred
Ayodhya desecrated and it burns.

And it has been settled or so that is what they say
Still dividing by religion and to which god we pray
At the end of it all there is no god
And that is the only true belief forsake the plastic demon
And see what the book really means no religion ever did preach
The roads they all lead to the same
We must be divided no more and put religion into the grave.

4. Drowning Of The Elephant God

Dirt and oil created form infused with life; he was born to guard the gate.
Dutiful son, a God made from clay did stand guard as his mother bathed
A warrior returns, a war did wage dead he lay, the song of Shiva
In a pool of blood he lay, the son of Shiva
In a pool of blood he lay, beheaded Ganapati Bappa

Parvathi wept, the promise of wrath the world will face her fury
Till he was reborn resurrecting the dead Son of God
Shiva, he sent his army forth that fetched him an elephant head
Fused together man and beast so he was born, Ganapati Bappa, the Elephant God!
And so the story goes, over a thousand years old
And so the story goes, the myth becomes a lie

Today they celebrate his birth with great pomp and fanfare
Disregarding mother earth while she cries, bleeds, despairs!
Thousands of believers flock to the streets hundreds of idols they carry to the seas
Drown their God, satisfy their belief destroying Mother Nature

Thousands of heads adorn the beach for days after and after
Dead flowers and empty prayers mother did weep, she did despair
The deafening sound of a thousand drums heard in the distance the low rumbling hum
Blocking the road, the infinite hordes dancing they take to the streets
The colours, they stain the streets marching forward millions of feet
The mass of humanity moves to the sea for the drowning of the Elephant God.
The pretext of religion a bottle of booze gang raped in the corner
The screams are mute is a God really watching?

5. Contaminating The Ganges

God did tell you, the water is holy.
God did tell you, I'll wash away your sins
When you bathe your rotten self in the holy Ganges.
Once a symbol of divine purity bathe in it for the river cleans all
A thousand years have passed the stench of your sins still remain

I come as a child, murdered my mother
I come with purity, bathed in sin
I seek refuge, in palaces I live
I am no sinner, unholy in wealth
I come undone, a disease I am
Do with me, whatever you will.
For I remain, your symbol of ignorance
For I remain, stain of your sin

Destroy, Violate, Raping Unholy bastards, Sinners contaminating the Ganges
Defecate, Suffocate, Blessed Unholy liars, Preachers contaminating the Ganges
An effort to restore what once was a thousand walls do block the path
Religion, corruption the mass of humans that bathe in their own faeces
A lifetime of sins cannot be washed away by just a belief and a river
Justify your crimes before a false lord justify that you are free from sin

6. Bakras To The Slaughter

Eat not the swine they do believe for it is Haraam and he commanded it
Bleed the rest to death by their neck justify the killing, justify Halal.
The cost of the sacrifice remains the same the veil of ignorance that covers your eyes
Sacrifice the son to a fictitious lord
I promise you no lamb shall be slaughtered
The Lord is but a wolf in sheep's clothing
And you are nothing but the sacrificial lamb

Benevolent, kind and all power a God we did devise
What kind of cruel, sadist being demands a sacrifice
What kind of black hearted God, takes a human life
The sheep is just deceit, a story, a lie
A thousand lambs to the slaughter and a thousand more to go
The blood has soaked the ground because your God told you so.

The age old chapters of deceit, your God is a lie
Lift the veil of hypocrisy and open your eyes
Silence breaks the dawn the bleating of the bakra
Sharpening the blade all in the name of Allah
The innocence in their eyes tied down for the sacrifice
Swing the blade from up high spill the blood for a lie.

7. The Carnage Of Godhra

It all goes back to Ayodhya, a holy land claimed so,
Wretched human religious beliefs, seeds of hate they sow.

The train it chugs along the rail she goes,
Somewhere along the way an evil it did grow.

The returning pilgrims with a religious blindfold,
Then came the attack for reasons unknown.

Godhra it was named, humanity shamed,
There is no fire without a spark.

Trapped. Stoned. Burnt Alive.
Were they Hindu, Muslim or Humans in the fire?

What reason could there be to spark such horrific ire ?
The tales are a plenty, who speaks the truth? Who is the liar?
The provocation was there and the reaction was strong
And this you believe is a service to your god?

Do you realize it begins at the divide?
Do you realize you are blinded by lies?
Take away your religion and see what you find.
Take away your god and do you still see eye for an eye?

How can you sleep with the blood that you’ve seen?
Live each day, is there no guilt you feel?
Do visions of those charred bodies not haunt your sleep?
How can you still justify your religious beliefs?

The truth is still buried and justice is not served
Conspiracies are a plenty, 59 people burned,
So many different stories, which one is the word?
Who was the real demon leading the violent herd?

This was just the beginning
Of a genocide that was brewing
The swords they were sharpening
For the mass revenge killing

In the name of a god.
Your best imaginary friend
In the name of a god.
It’s just good business in the end.

8. Ab Ki Baar Atyachaar

A mountain of bodies, in four trucks disposed in an empty well, dozens more found a home.
Women and children, no one was spared even the police, did not seem to care.
We begged the gun-toting police Sir, let our innocent children go
He questioned their innocence and said Aaj marna hai tum ko

They surrounded us and doused us with petrol and kerosene
They burned us alive; I screamed I cried, at the bottom of the human pile, still alive
Six of my family, none have survived, my baby boys I watched them die
The government can give us money but will it really suffice cash cannot replace justice, how do you put a price on their lives?

The women who tried to escape, they were molested their mouths were clamped, their clothes were torn
Kausar she stood beside me, with a child, unborn her womb was slit open, the foetus impaled on a sword.
At the graveyard he sits, counting the dead bodies not a sight for human eyes, hamari bhi himat tuti

Wherever there was an attack, women were raped their bodies still scarred, each mark tells the tale.
Another family of seven, hid in a field for two days found by the mob who stole their money and killed them anyway.
Jafri was dragged into the street and forced to parade naked refusing to say Jai Shri Ram they beheaded and burnt his remains

Think of the hate they create of all the lies they spread
Hindu or Muslim, it doesn’t matter religion should be dead.
Mother fucking religious leaders brainwashing the gullible fools
Creating an army of religious warriors to fight a war that can bear no fruit.
Mandir bhi le lo, masjid bhi le lo Magar tum hamare lahu se na khelo

9. Gaurav Yatra (The Aftermath)

Seven Ninety Muslims and Two Fifty Four Hindus died
The religion doesn’t matter that is over a 1000 human lives
The fires died down and the smoke did clear
A blood stained ground, people living in fear

Widespread destruction, a system that failed
So many arrested, murderers let out on bail
Homeless, penniless, wandering in pain,
Still waiting for justice and relief that never came.

We are still missing answers, to what started the fire
What was the incident to spark the ire?
What was the reason? Have people conspired?
Is this all part of some political game?
They say in a game of Chess, the pawns die first.
Does the butchering of innocent really quench the blood thirst?
If you both had the same god, who would draw their blade first?

In the wake of this tragedy some prominent leaders did speak
Their speeches filled with hate, more evil they did breed
Bal Thackeray spewed venom and so did the VHP
Evil did show many shames, behold the Indian Mujahedeen

Violence will only breed more violence
When will the killing of the innocent stop
We must educate the youth of our nation
Empower them to not be brainwashed, by religion.

Can you imagine watching your family killed before your own eyes?
Do you think you will ever sleep peacefully after watching such horrific crimes?
How can anyone even live a normal life after hearing those helpless cries?
Will you still find a reason to live after everyone you love has died?
Even though 10 years have passed, the ghosts still haunt my life
There has been no justice, no relief, a nightmare with no respite.
