Tema

Una canción sobre la traición interna y el fracaso al reconocer a un enemigo doméstico. Utilizando la metáfora del **'caballo de Troya'**, describe un evento catastrófico donde la caída de una nación o grupo es orquestada por un **'enemigo dentro del vientre de la bestia'**. La letra enfatiza que la forma más peligrosa de colapso es la **'muerte que viene de dentro'**, debido a advertencias ignoradas y la presencia de 'engañadores endurecidos' que entraron por 'puertas abiertas'.

Letra

The heat is raging from the rising fires of war Embers of avarice soon begin to soar Vengeance breeding greater vengeance, two eyes for one eye Crowning burning hatred that’s lying deep inside A token gift, destroyers deep within its hold Revenge of patient men is sweet and best served cold The enemy inside the belly of the beast A mighty Trojan horse, tonight the sentries sleep On the march... No place to run Time has come... No where to hide The moon is red... No one is safe From spilling blood... no living thing survives Here they fight... regretting nothing Here you die... the walls are caving in Nothing left... a lethal encounter Its judgment time... when death comes from within Warning signs ignored, they have all but been denied Prophets and messengers, mocked and vilified Final destination lying deep inside their court Their first line of defense soon became their last resort Hardened deceivers entered through their open gates Silent trained assassins, lying still, in wait You look so perfect, but everybody knows Their petrified to say the emperor has no clothes So bloody perfect, but everybody knows Their just so petrified, the emperor has no clothes Death from within...
