The Agonist - Once Only Imagined

The bloodline traces back to the past from whence the first real Christians came
The racist procreation remains in every God-damned rally, riot and rage
Eternal damnation divided by nation
Fighting for land, language and souls
A kick to the face of pride
Leave hypnotic control behind

How is it that even now, to this day
This poison we're born with still runs through our veins?

Brainwash young minds
They will learn what you teach
Practice what you preach
Brainwash young minds
Breed corruption

Didn't you expect when you built your empire on pillars of cadavers
(Genocide yields power
You built your empire on murder)
That it would corrode with time?

Say how do you justify systematic eradication
Of the diversity, the foundation of all humanity?
Say how do you justify
Putting words in my mouth
Blood on my hands
Hate in my heart?

The bloodline traces back to the past from whence the first real Christians came
The racist procreation remains in every God-damned rally, riot and rage
Eternal damnation divided by nation
Fighting for land, language and souls
A kick to the face of pride
An insult to all those who've died

I lock eyes with the black monolith towering over me
In my reflection I see our name printed
Far too many times, over and over again
You cannot know the warm touch of the vengeance that calls
Without the sting of the betrayal that afflicts us all
