lyrics

The Deluge by Polytheist

My Brothers, my brothers and I, we, we materialize
strengthened by numbers above, a human slumber sty
suspended up high, anticipating the kill
we collect and grow, to tear asunder your world below
you say you're driven by those whom you worship
it seems you've earned yourselves a watery grave

do you realize your lives are, utterly worthless
to the pantheon, and any they, choose to save

raining down, to pummel the ground, meaning of the many unfurled
suffocate, the earth undoing every birth, we obliterate the world

pray, beg us to spare you
you pray, as we bury your loved ones
you pray, a new crop will replace you
you pray, and curse your name
(repeat)

Your Ignorance Blinds, you from the rising tide
white hills melt as walls, of water arise
climb the highest mountain, and beg for life
falling is the sky, you are all gonna die
Call us vishnu Anu Yaweh or jehovah
prove your worth for your salvation

build your stone monuments, as your legacy
and accept your fate, in this cleansing, your damnation

raining down, to pummel the ground, meaning of the many unfurled
suffocate, the earth undoing every birth, we obliterate the world

pray, beg us to spare you
you pray, as we bury your loved ones
you pray, a new crop will replace you
you pray, and curse your name
(repeat)

we are indifferent to if you deserve it,
we don't care if you curse us in protest
we will fulfill, fulfill our purpose
we will fulfill our purpose
we will fulfill, fulfill our purpose
we will fulfill our purpose
