Time melts away in the living inferno
Trapped by a cause that I once undrestood
Feeling a sickness building inside of me
Who will I really have to answer to
March on through the rivers of red
Souls drift, they fill the air
Forced to fight, behind
The crooked cross
Do only what is expected of me
With no emotions my feelings suppresed
Blind obedience carries me through all
Conscience a word I learned to forget
March on through the rivers of red
Flesh burns, it fills the air
Forced to fight, behind
The crooked cross
Time melts away from the living inferno
Trapped by a cause that I once understood
Blind obedience carries me through all
Do only what is expected of me
March on through the rivers of red
Souls drift, they fill the air
Forced to fight, behind
The crooked cross
