Technologies Of Death

(album: Erebos - 2022)

Death is death

You see death as a corrective measure
But your modern ways of killing
Are nothing more than lies
Erebos the bringer of darkness will bring the end

An odour of charred human flesh rising from the remains
A surge of electricity depolarised the brains
Allegedly painless humane technologies of death
Extinguishment of life, concluded with a final breath

Seek justice or satisfy public desire?
State killing ritualised, ritualised
Seek justice or satisfy public desire?
State force manifested
Manifested

Designed to differentiate the violence of the law
From the "criminal" violence, but with a major flaw
With an affirmation of power, to murder compelled
The ferocity of the state's power over life itself

Seek justice or satisfy public desire?
State killing ritualised, ritualised
Seek justice or satisfy public desire?
State force manifested
Manifested

Somewhere
Deep inside
Empathy
Is still alive

Seek justice or satisfy public desire?
State killing ritualised
Seek justice or satisfy public desire?

Death is death
Death is death
Technologies of death
Methods of execution
Technologies of death

Eye for an eye
Head for a head

Methods of (Execution) death
Modern, prehistoric, painful or painless
Death is death
Death is death
