5. Throne of Decay
1. Lies of Serpents
The hymns of dying men are sung in symphony,
Who are they to us now?
In fields scorched by bitter flames you held high your cross
Into streams of time I stare
In the past your future ends
The time for retribution is at hand
They now scream for your downfall
You ride down this pernicious road
Spreading your hostility
Out of your hovel you crawl
So benighted, atrocities denied
Into streams of time I stare
In the past your future ends
The time for retribution is at hand
They now scream for your downfall
Riding upon their steeds with their banners held high
Thrusting their spears and swords into so-called heretics and idolaters
Relishing the spilling of innocent blood, lusting over the carcasses of those who Refused to bow to your inhuman gods
Slaughtering with impunity your inborn brotherhood has paved the way for the so-called just war
The dead scream out from graves beyond, they taste revenge in the air
The holy land now in flames, from moonlit dunes cries of war ring out
The Star of David drenched in blood of both martyrs and innocents
You ride down this pernicious road
Spreading your hostility
Out of your hovel you crawl
So benighted, atrocities denied
Into streams of time I stare
In the past your future ends
The time for retribution is at hand
They now scream for your downfall
Religion in every age has summoned up the demons within
States ruled by gods often fall to plunder
To the gods of every nation, do your angels watch with lust and desire or do they weep for our murderous hand?
These scars and these wounds may now last forever
The souls of the dead have been taken away
To the fields of Abaddon
2. Lust for Domination
Born into a world of chaos
No hope for those who cannot protect themselves
Ravaged by disease
Blood tainted by a virus that creates so much profit
Why find a cure?
Why find a solution to end their suffering?
Millions die every year
Those who can pay will live that bit longer
Weakness is profit
Disease is profit
Pain is profit
Nations held to ransom as Babylon feeds them her scraps, and they stand with their hands held up waiting to be fed
Only to be bled dry by these unrelenting nations
And their lust for domination and greed
With their suffering we prosper
With their pain we shall live a life of riches
As they die an untimely death
3. Crimson Dawn
Here I lay our fate mapped out
Nothing left to salvage
Feeling the screams of the damned
I have banished myself to a living hell
The heavens weep for our crime is their failure to bear
Blood flows before the throne of heaven
The hue and cry of a fallen kingdom
Shadows cast by the eclipse of blood red moons
The ocean fills with tears of sadness
This dying light is all that's left to our embrace
Down below, our souls are shed in two
Down below, the demons praise the crimson skies
Down below, humanity weeps as it falls from grace
Holding on to what was never there
A false promise of hope
Shadows cast by this eclipse
The torment has only begun
We chose to close our eyes
Now we awaken to a crimson dawn
Adherence to this decadence, a devil born an angel
A fallen star, brings forth our end
The carcass of humanity, has been torn wide open
The demon feeds on our rotting flesh
A new dawn of crimson red
Souls lost in the seas of blood
Centuries of war in the name of progress
This is our end, an end we must now embrace
4. Embrace Humanity
Tortured by the blood of serpents
Trapped in a cage of lies
Kneel before your savior
As the shepherd guides his flock
Down the road of his immoral heavens
Those who fear are the blind
Forsake this light, burn in hell
The angels drink the blood of the saved
As they rape the innocent
They immerse their souls in the blood of their brothers
Blessed is he who kills in the name of god
Embrace this land, of a people raped and massacred You have slain your risen martyr
And thrown the chalice of his blood
Through darkness and pain your strength has grown
I shall bow to no one, your heaven
Shall burn in the flames of retribution
You shall suffer for the hatred caused
By your man made laws
There will be a resurrection
A resurrection of the mind
5. Throne of Decay
