lyrics

A moment's warning
To close your eyes
And cover your ears
This final attempt
To speak a shred of truth
Against your falsified world

Open the gates
Mirror your thoughts
Shackle your minds
To the empty ideals
Of a world that has lost

Outcasts
The products of isolation
Self imposed
Solitude

Prophets
Spitting tongues of fire
Raining down
Bullets
Like molten lead
Piercing the veil with truth

A broken vow
A lie from beneath
Skin like scales
This world will come down
For tides overcome
Foundations of sand

Open the gates
Mirror your thoughts
Shackle your minds
To the empty ideals
Of a world that has lost

Buried in treacherous valleys
Forged in the fires
Of self imposed trials
Perfectly hidden
Shrouded in layers of ash
Preparing tumultuous storms
To unfurl

Swollen but empty
A mindless brigade
Parroting lies
A cauldron boiling over
Endlessly mocking
Like swarming flies

Laying them bare
The augur unsheathes
A glistening sword
To stain the earth
Red with their blood
Unleashing
A thunderous roar

So it goes
The ocean swallows
The bloodstained sand
Miles of ravaged corpses
Strewn across
These barren lands

Unearthing the treacherous valleys
Rending and skinning their sons alive
Perfectly severed
Monuments shattered like glass
Daring their heinous forms
To return
