Lament

Into the shadows of life to which we've been driven

In the ruins of Eden to which we have come

Under bleeding skies still writhes this tortured land

And this world without end stands forsaken

And we forget, have we gone so wrong?

That onward we march, lost and enslaved to their culture's carrion song

The truth in the silences goes unheard, as we drown in their hideous faith

For they've built up their temples to slavery, and the stench of deceit

suffocates

Through this night which we crawl

For there is always further to fall

Their rust scarred cities stand

To mark the graves below

The poisoned skies they weep

For their fates are cast in stone

The oceans boiling black upon the shores

Of this bloodstained waste landscape

That burns forevermore

And they step blind through this fever mad dance

In the last days of Eden which have come at last

And they've traded cheap the world and her love

For keys to the kingdom of filth above

(their cold kisses taste of blood and despair)

But we may surrender humanity's shame

Reborn from the ashes of our world in flames

Burn, burn with the fires of change

Tear down their culture of conquest and greed

With unblended eyes a new dawn to greet

And cast off the weight of humanity's sin

For a new day is born at their history's end
