Age Of Grace

Born and enslaved to this modern age

Where blood stains each step of this path we have paved

And what price our reign? At what cost their fate?

In this night unending when dawn comes too late

For each life that's stolen and each cry unheard

For our lust that's written in scars on this Earth

The lies which they teach, with forked-tongues they speak

Of this world created to conquer, to rule their greed

Are we corrupted by their greed?

Infected, decayed; corrupt with deceit

In this days of madness where misery reigns

When all hope is abandoned in promise of pain

And never a light from the darkness of hate

They hunger for death, their bodies as graves

our corrupted memory dies to see through compassion's eyes

Lives consumed, flesh abused, tortured existence, encaged, entombed

Freedom lost, bodies marred, eternal hell, life behind bars

Their traditions die, as we fall no longer

With this reverence for life, we will fall no longer

In this world of the desperate and lost cast in filth

Compassion condemned in this nightmare fulfilled

The blind and their faith, to empty skies pray

The road to their heaven and god paved with rape

The hidden years have ended

The age of grace begun

The starving sound of fire, as heaven and Earth collide

Cast off like skin this suffering, on broken knees to rise

To sift through bitter ashes, to bleed like sacrifice

Our hearts forever burning, to breathe with newfound life
