lyrics

Heartbeat - so fast
Feel the intricate connection
Between the boot that kicks
And the pain that follows

The anticipation
Of repetition
Anxiety of anguish
Leads to the conclusion

The end justifies the means
Survival does not feed on thought
The future needs the presence

Self-preservation
Consequences do not matter
What is the use of good will
If morality means dying

Again Hunger
Anguish through a contracting stomach
Plenty of food
But hoarded and untouchable

So much can be taken
Implying devastation
When only this is viable
Ethics are irrelevant

The end justifies the means
Survival does not feed on thought
The future needs the presence

Self-preservation
Consequences do not matter
What is the use of good will
If morality means dying

about

Heretics Paderborn, Germany

After founding the band in 2009, the first gig was played in 2010. It took ten years, until the first album Via Appia was released - but the band has grown from a bunch of pupils buying instruments to a Death Metal steamroller.
