This is the 4th song on This Godless Endeavor, the band’s album from 2005. This song is about the freedom of will, choice and ultimately, thought. Repression is coming and the bittersweet feast will be when Warrel Dane’s worst fears come to life and the freedom of thought will be eradicated, after a...
[Verse 1]
Please let me help you
Bury your dead
They've made the incision and driven
Their industry's waste in your head
[Pre-Chorus]
The pyres in the distance
Glow beyond the haze
The hypocrites bear witness
To the end of days
This is your final warning:
A war on free will is coming
[Verse 2]
This disillusion
This ignorant display
Defies solution
And emasculates disdain
[Pre-Chorus]
The sheep march to the fire
And wait to host the flies
Their greedy, little maggots
Clean the wounds with pride
This is your final warning:
A war on free will is coming
[Chorus]
They feast on the meat
In bittersweet denial
And swallow the blood
Of poisoned truths
[Post-Chorus]
They pick at the meat
A bittersweet feast for all the liars
[Verse 3]
In idle servitude
The worker pig so sad
The lizards in wither have risen
To censor the thoughts in your head
[Pre-Chorus]
The sheep are stoned
And quiet choking on the lies
The lizards feed the fire
Without compromise
This is your final warning:
A war on free will is coming
[Chorus]
They feast on the meat
In bittersweet denial
And swallow the blood
Of poisoned truths
[Post-Chorus]
They pick at the meat
Their bittersweet feast
[Solo: Smyth]
[Solo: Loomis]
[Bridge]
Begging forgiveness in denial
Your misery shows its face
You drown in your weakness
The blasphemous river washes away your mistakes
[Verse 1]
Please let me help you
Bury your dead
They've made the incision and driven
Their industry's waste in your head
[Pre-Chorus]
This is your final warning:
The holocaust of thought is dawning
[Chorus]
They feast on the meat
In bittersweet denial
And swallow the blood
Of poisoned truths
[Outro]
They pick at the meat
Their bittersweet feast
A bittersweet feast for all the liars
