lyrics

DREAD AND CRUELTY THRIVE

Decent ones with high hopes
Excellent and glorious thoughts
Principles and common sense
Vanished by the crisis and decadence

Roaring rabble-rousing set the course
Fight and struggle unwinnable wars
Fear driven cruelty, epitaph on our steles
Foolery and ignorance are good fellows

Beware! Fear makes you cruel
Beware! Dread and cruelty thrive

Liberty, equality, fraternity…
Are they the words of humanity?
Who believes and acts in their names?
Gates are closing, who’s to blame?

Beasts are snarling, kids are crying
Their alms are disdain and scorning
Mindless dread and cruelty thrive
And empathy then dies…

Beware! Fear makes you cruel
Beware! Dread and cruelty thrive

Solo

Our counselor is cynical manipulation
Hard-line messiahs with no date of expiration
Corpse smelling lies for crawling millions
Like funeral wreaths with mourning ribbons

So many have yielded to temptation
And too many still implore absolution
Fear driven cruelty… the only way to
Get rid of our self-made ghetto

Beware! Fear makes you cruel
Beware! Dread and cruelty thrive

Zord Miskolc, Hungary

Zord’s music tempts to a world of metal with heavy guitar riffs and dark lyrics. The main characters of their songs are determined by dynamic but sometimes twisted rhythms, rough vocals with blazing backing vocals and a bit of bitter feelings. ... more
