[Verse 1]
The sickness of the heart
Exposed to the flame
Bound and tortured
Pulled into nothing
Living predation

Behind these haunted eyes
No one speaks, no one tries
[Chorus]
Totem, idol of barbarity
Totem (Totem, totеm, totem, totem)
[Bridge]

When I was bludgened helpless

Totem, Idol of barbarity
Totem (Totem, totem, totem, totem)
[Verse 3]

Sunk in the edge of infinity
Land of sorrow
Shadows of the earth
I once prayed to the gods
Tragic fury
Grant us strength
To inhale eternity
Idol of barbarity
Plead for the end
