From the Lungs of Desperation
Dashed upon the rocks
The hands of gods control the locks
Of men in cages bought
By Olympus and their lot
Sword and shield alike
A test of will and strength of mind
Sing your pity song
The crack of thunder snaps like a drum
Bear witness to a resurrection
Spoken softly with no inflection
Our innocence is lost
Blinded by greed, ignoring the cost
Hold your breath
For the air is thin
Higher and higher
We go just to live in sin
Poseidon's playground full of monsters and madness
I hunger to lash them upon my mast
Our innocence is lost
Blinded by greed, ignoring the cost
Hold your breath
For the air is thin
Higher and higher
We go just to live in sin
We breathe slowly
From the lungs of desperation
Our anthem, one final breath just to sing our song
Sinking back into regression
Never again will I hang my head in shame
The gods will fear my name
Broken again but I'll find my strength through pain
Walking this path I made
Walking this path
Burn their severed hands
Pile up their corpses
Another test of fate, we repent
Silence the tones of their voices
For we were never meant to walk this path
To the end
And sing along
To our song of demise
Just sing alone
And close your eyes
The hands of gods control the locks
Of men in cages bought
By Olympus and their lot
Sword and shield alike
A test of will and strength of mind
Sing your pity song
The crack of thunder snaps like a drum
Bear witness to a resurrection
Spoken softly with no inflection
Our innocence is lost
Blinded by greed, ignoring the cost
Hold your breath
For the air is thin
Higher and higher
We go just to live in sin
Poseidon's playground full of monsters and madness
I hunger to lash them upon my mast
Our innocence is lost
Blinded by greed, ignoring the cost
Hold your breath
For the air is thin
Higher and higher
We go just to live in sin
We breathe slowly
From the lungs of desperation
Our anthem, one final breath just to sing our song
Sinking back into regression
Never again will I hang my head in shame
The gods will fear my name
Broken again but I'll find my strength through pain
Walking this path I made
Walking this path
Burn their severed hands
Pile up their corpses
Another test of fate, we repent
Silence the tones of their voices
For we were never meant to walk this path
To the end
And sing along
To our song of demise
Just sing alone
And close your eyes
