22 Let them bring them, and tell us
what is to happen.
Tell us the former things, what they are,
that we may consider them,
that we may know their outcome;
or declare to us the things to come.
23 Tell us what is to come hereafter,
that we may know that you are gods;
do good, or do harm,
that we may be dismayed and terrified.
24 Behold, you are nothing,
and your work is less than nothing;
an abomination is he who chooses you.
–Isaiah 41:22-24 (ESV)–
24 Who gave up Jacob to the looter,
and Israel to the plunderers?
Was it not the Lord, against whom we have sinned,
in whose ways they would not walk,
and whose law they would not obey?
25 So he poured on him the heat of his anger
and the might of battle;
it set him on fire all around, but he did not understand;
it burned him up, but he did not take it to heart.
–Isaiah 42:24-25 (ESV)–
—
I’m touching the void
I seek and destroy
To be reborn
I’m touching the void
The ghost of Troy
Burned and destroyed
I’m touching the void
Bleed and destroy
The sacrifice of war
I’m touching the void
I creep and destroy
The paradise lost
I’m touching the void
I breed and destroy
No more idols to burn
I’m touching the void
I scream and destroy
I follow the storm
I’m touching the void
I’ve killed them before
I’ll kill them again
Void
The return of the wicked
Void
The revenge of the sickest
Void
The return of the wicked
Void
The revenge of the sickest
Void
I’m touching the void
From stone and crust
To ashes and dust
I’m touching the void
The sycophants will fall
In the doom of it all
–Soulfly, “Touching the Void”–
