Auri Sacra Fames

Struck down upon these hateful sands.
Drawing my last breath in this foreign wasteland.
So far from my home.
Led to die for his gold.
They filled our ears with lies.
Painting an image of people with freedom denied.

So we left our families and homes behind.
Never once suspecting the treachery which lies
beneath the veil so cleverly they disguised.
Greed entombed, the motive in your lies.

Lies desecrate the memories of our lives.
Feigning grief, you profit as we die.

Heroes heed your emperor's call to arms.
Question not what you're fighting for.
Your fate is mine alone.

Your Lies.
Feigning grief, you profit as we die.

Red sand, red sun, my life has come undone.
Red sand, red sun, my life has come undone.

A bleak day beneath a raging sun.
If ever a hell there was, I've found it here.
I've traveled both land and sea to see my life undone
and pour into oblivion.

Red sand, red sun, my life has come undone.
Red sand, red sun, my life has come undone.

Where they make a wasteland they call it peace.
Where they make a wasteland they call it peace.

Vox clamantis in deserto.
Qui tacet consentire videtur.
