Retribution
Coming together since the world began
The hour of destitution nears
From four directions as the world expands
The culmination of our fears
Retribution of this world
You summoned this ordeal
Built this tower of Babylon
This unforgiving wheel
"Tear it down!" they cry
"Depart from our eyes!
We want a new god!
To build up our lie!"
Time is not long for this world
Can't you feel the violence move?
Like the blackened, beating heart
Screams its twisted tune
This world has grown a tumor
Cancer has spread
Bitter vines crawling
From the dirt to the head
As I stood upon the sand of the sea
My reflection looked back at me
Mesmerized I stared
I forgot why I went there
"Oh! We'll tear down the walls!
We'll change times and laws!
And toy with the dark
And bleed out this mark
I'll shine like a star
I want to be free
I want to depart
I cut myself with my sword
But it doesn't leave a scar
Why can't I shine like the stars?"
The hour of destitution nears
From four directions as the world expands
The culmination of our fears
Retribution of this world
You summoned this ordeal
Built this tower of Babylon
This unforgiving wheel
"Tear it down!" they cry
"Depart from our eyes!
We want a new god!
To build up our lie!"
Time is not long for this world
Can't you feel the violence move?
Like the blackened, beating heart
Screams its twisted tune
This world has grown a tumor
Cancer has spread
Bitter vines crawling
From the dirt to the head
As I stood upon the sand of the sea
My reflection looked back at me
Mesmerized I stared
I forgot why I went there
"Oh! We'll tear down the walls!
We'll change times and laws!
And toy with the dark
And bleed out this mark
I'll shine like a star
I want to be free
I want to depart
I cut myself with my sword
But it doesn't leave a scar
Why can't I shine like the stars?"
