We grew up full of boldness 
Unaware of our own ignorance 
We kept in mind our goal 
To live for something more 

But how were we to know 
That we are betrayed by our lords 
The ancient gods of chaos 
Persuaded them to sell us 

The lords are dull and greedy 
The gods are sly and perfidious 
And they deserve each other 
Sharing the feast of suffering 

Their toadies keep inspiring 
The shameful tale disarming 
We are the chosen ones 
Let's turn our blood to dung 

It's honorable they say 
This fate is best for mortals 
Prepare to give yourself 
To make the ground more fertile 

Chthonica... 
Chthonica... 

Enchained and sentenced 
I'm lying defenseless 
And gazing at the uncaring sky 
How proud should we be 
If our destiny is 
Eternal self-sacrifice 

The sky plays dead 
The stone turns red 
The ground will bring our daily bread 

Alliance with the ether 
Was gainless and dissolved 
The depths became our patron 
In trade for blood and souls 

So then began the new age 
Of fear and outrage 
The self-sustaining system 
Perverted pride of victims 

The deity of soil 
As ugly as amazing 
Is growing from below 
The hecatomb is rising 

Chthonica... 
Chthonica... 

Enchained and sentenced 
I'm lying defenseless 
And gazing at the uncaring sky 
How proud should we be 
If our destiny is 
Eternal self-sacrifice 

The sky plays dead 
The stone turns red 
The ground will bring our daily bread 

We grew up full of boldness 
Unaware of our own ignorance 
We kept in mind our goal 
To live for something more 

But how were we to know 
That we are betrayed by our lords 
The ancient gods of chaos 
Persuaded them to enslave us 

Enchained and sentenced 
I'm lying defenseless 
And gazing at the uncaring sky 
No [bad word]  no hope 
No way to elope 
And throughout is the eternal chthonica
