Irresponsible and unreflecting,
Displacing human sense into the afterworld,
Running after faint beliefs, where you just have to feel,
Conceive suspicion, distrust your faith.
Degeneration, dislocation,
And always hunting for the ones to lead you,
No aspiration, no ambition.
The one you hope for, the one you wait for
Lies in a long forgotten tomb,
Condemned and murdered,
Revealed and tortured,
We have killed him,
We have killed him, you and I.
We have killed him, you and I.
Endless drifting with the stream,
And there will be no solace.
We've raised ourselves to gods,
We drank the seas and wiped horizons,
Just everything we loved has bled to death by our knives.
The one you hope for, the one you wait for
Lies in a long forgotten tomb,
Condemned and murdered,
Revealed and tortured,
We have killed him,
We have killed him, you and I.
We have killed him, you and I.
A deed, that's just too great for us.
There is no atonement,
And no forgiveness there will be.
No atonement,
And no forgiveness there will be.
No forgiveness,
No forgiveness there will be.
The one you hope for, the one you wait for
Lies in a long forgotten tomb,
Condemned and murdered,
Revealed and tortured,
We have killed him,
We have killed him, you and I.
