Deströyer 666 - Path to Conflict lyrics

No gleaming temple forever stands
Your idols lay beneath
Beneath the shifting sands
No endless darkness, no blinding light
No treasured ideal, not one vice

No sacred law, no holy command
No final verdict to which we are damned
No Armageddon, no final rest
And no paradise beyond our death

For no word of the wise, no law benign
Will ever change the wolf and the lion
All revolution, all salvation
Never as they predict!
All solutions and all revelations lead
A path to conflict

Not one penance, not one resolute
Not one confession, no matter how true
No blood that is split or life cut short


In the name of the father, the mother
The cause utopia is dead!

So what happens as I walk through the ashes?
A trial of our blood
Our blood and our scars?
Well, our questions betray us
Our hopes and our fears
Relinquish both, and then you may hear

No dream of the wise, no law benign
Will ever change the wolf and the lion
