Days To Dread

Witness
Endless
Betrayal

Cyclical folly of man
Necrotic hand
Clenched on the throat
Marked with the brand
Of rapture

Seasons pass
One more fill of the hourglass
To kill the past

As the legions sit idly by
And watch the sky
Turn to crimson red

Shackles are the comfort for your fear
A price to pay
Turning empires into ashes
A sacred maintenance

These nights are only getting longer and darker
Weep not your god is here to save you from squalor
Trust us, there's only one solution to ponder
Think not your thoughts will make you stronger
To Conquer

Dark times
A mourning veil enshrouding
These days to dread
The foreseen horrors plague this world until it's cold and dead

Cold and dead

Seconds pass
One more moment till our collapse
When all is ash

Hindsight comes when it's far too late
To change your fate
Perceiving the end
Of life on this world
Burn

Burn to sanctify
Burn to sanctify

Cure to end all life

Death
Comes
For
Us

Feeding on the lies of leaders
Artificial conspirators
Only blinding and deceiving
Consequences far beneath them

Desperate just to hear an echo
Give your hand and they won't let go
All to satisfy an ego

And sell a soul

Decay infests
Conceiving emptiness
While all that's blessed
Escapes eternal rest

Born to live and die
Told to fall in line
Made through sacrifice
Desperate for the light
Know

These nights are only getting longer and darker
Weep not your god is here to save you from squalor
Trust us, there's only one solution to ponder
Think not your thoughts will make you stronger
To Conquer

Dark times
A mourning veil enshrouding
These days to dread
The foreseen horrors plague this world until it's cold and dead

Worship and sacrilege together
Bring days to dread
Turning blind eyes towards dissidents publicly hung and bled

Icons
Transformed before the dawning
Of days to dread
Forsaking congregation as they reconciled and fled

Who's going to save you now
When your gods are dead
And your mind, misled
Just to dwell in days to dread

Fallen we are
The image of god
Tarnished and lost

The brave souls left in this world
Will know communion
A virtuous spear to the heart
