One voice, one power, the people's will arose, Slew the tyrant and burned his castles, brought down A supreme blooded pestilence once moreUnder the same dawn advocates of wealth and freedom spread their words like prophets do Bring them down! Down to their knees! Down to this greed!Fooling us again, while our screams not even silenced This rage has been a weapon, but our hope will bring the doom So many times I prayed:, so many times I died!We burst the chains And now we should be on our own, but the fear of tomorrow Will drive you to their arms againThe golden age we're celebrating creeps out of the womb of the same old lieUnder the same dawn advocates of wealth and freedom spread their words like prophets do Bring them down! Down to their knees! Down to this greed!Fooling us again, while our screams not even silenced This rage has been a weapon, but our hope will bring the doom So many times I prayed:, so many times I died!We burst the chains And now we should be on our own, but the fear of tomorrow Will drive you to their arms againA child of tyranny and hatred A heaven for the chosen few
Antigone is the third full-length album of the German Metalcore band Heaven Shall Burn. The title was inspired by the female character of the play Antigone by Sophocles. The play is about a passionate young woman, that does what she knows is right, even though it is against the law. She makes sure that all of the town's people know what she did and she is punished by the king. The intro and the two outros were composed and recorded by Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds. A video was made for The Weapon They Fear; the song commemorates Víctor Jara. Tree of Freedom deals with the life of Nelson Mandela. Voice of the Voiceless refers to the band's strong pro-vegan stance. Bleeding to Death deals with the economic and social problems in post-East Germany, from where the band originates.
