I have seen the vile
Grow into a world set on fire
Struggle and stay alive
Dark forces are oncoming
Vapid to their eyes
Conquer or be struck by the flames
Stand up
Infractions must be stopped
If you back down
(Their) offence would never end
Come with us
We will lead the way
Don't believe a word they say
Distorted truth
Fight their madness
Carry on
Come and make them fall apart
It's reckless to follow their cause
Worn-out and weary, you have to work
Their labour is malice on earth
You'll see - break free
Throw it down the mountainside
From their ashes we'll prevail
One must be able to trust another
We shouldn't have to fear our home
I'm here still alive
But part of me feels empty inside
Walk with me right now
And clear a path that leads us there
I've seen misery, disgraceful acts were spread like a plague
Behold
Dawn of the rulers fall
It's here and now
(The) beginning of the end

Music and lyrics by Mattias Engström.
If you want your brain to unravel, this is the one. While every Car Bomb record is gold, this is the most refined iteration. With some of their most melodic elements in Gratitude and The Oppressor, as well as heaviest in Sets and Black Blood. They also up the staccato riffing with Secrets Within and Constant Sleep. Pure Love. 10/10 Lagerbottoms
