Because nothing is over
And nothing's through 'til we bury you
[Chorus 1]
For the love of brother
I will sing this fucking song
Aesthetics of Hate
I hope you burn in hell!
[Verse 2]
The words I read on the screen left me fucking sick

[Chorus 2]
For the love of brother
I will say these fucking words
Aesthetics of Hate
I hope you burn in hell!

[Bridge 1]
Long live memories
Live his freedom vicariously
Defend tenfold
His honor we'll always uphold
[Chorus 3]
For the love of brother
I will say these fucking words

Iconoclast, I hope you burn!
Burn in hell!
[Bridge 2]
May the hands of God strike them down
May the hands of God strike them down
May the hands of God strike them down
May the hands of God
Strike them
Strike down
[Outro]
May the hands of God strike them down!
May the hands of God strike them down!
May the hands of God strike them down!
May the hands of God! Strike!
Down!
