Lyrics
The Adversary
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ancient serpent.
Betrayer.
War machine.
Empires and Kingdoms rise in your name.
Towers are still being built.
The dead lead the blind.
A plague upon our house.
Twin cities burn and pillars of salt are
lost to the dust of time.
Will you profit the world?
No. Prophet, this world means nothing.
Oh what a shame that we must learn of life from death.
Take this world to the brink of war.
Kingdom. Empire. Reich. Hell is coming.
Better to die for truth than live for nothing
