Long dead souls taken by brutal affliction
Removed from existence by suicidal hands
Just walking corpses waiting extinction
Now only in spirit they traverse the lands

Mindless soldiers standing strong
They chant the prayer de la muerte

I pray for thee
Won’t you come home to me?
Before you see
All the suffering to be

The time has come, my lord decided
Take one look at your merciful king
Find the place the pain resided
And pray not for such material things

Gaze into the faces you once knew
They chant the prayer de la muerte

I pray for thee
Won’t you come home to me?
Before you see
All the suffering to be

And when I am surrounded by darkness
You will be my light
Rejoicing in prayer together
Before I smother you

Loyal servants of the propaganda
Chant for your new king!

I pray for thee
Won’t you come home to me?
Before you see
All the suffering to be

Grant us this wish today
Give us strength to obey
Courage so we can’t betray
In this your name we pray

This was meant to be about the people of a land where leadership changes and they are forced to change their beliefs and culture to suit the new rulers. I think I was a bit too vague though with the song.

I love the lyrics. Oh so dark! :D

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear maybe ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is stillworth while
If you'll just smile.
