Lament

Into the shadows of life to which we've been driven In the ruins of Eden to which we have come Under bleeding skies still writhes this tortured land And this world without end stands forsaken And we forget, have we gone so wrong? That onward we march, lost and enslaved to their culture's carrion song The truth in the silences goes unheard, as we drown in their hideous faith For they've built up their temples to slavery, and the stench of deceit Suffocates Through this night which we crawl For there is always further to fall Their rust scarred cities stand To mark the graves below The poisoned skies they weep For their fates are cast in stone The oceans boiling black upon the shores Of this bloodstained waste landscape That burns forevermore And they step blind through this fever mad dance In the last days of Eden which have come at last And they've traded cheap the world and her love For keys to the kingdom of filth above (Their cold kisses taste of blood and despair) But we may surrender humanity's shame Reborn from the ashes of our world in flames Burn, burn with the fires of change Tear down their culture of conquest and greed With unblended eyes a new dawn to greet And cast off the weight of humanity's sin For a new day is born at their history's end
