The shards of the inevitable
Striking with ferocity between
The remnants of shattered dreams
And the symbol as it gleams
Hallowed in blood and death
Buried in scattered fragments
From memories of the night
And voices that won't relent
The sacramental justice forged
The sacrificial lambs now destroyed
Trapped within their own minds
Entombed behind the void
Just two shots to taste
No remorse for the last days
Reminiscing in darkness tonight
With penance in our hearts we say
All hail to the political machine
Created from ashes of broken dreams
The truth isn't what it seems
The madness consumes all it sees
From the shallows of hell
To the heights of ethereal grace
In the mists of circumstance
Behind my devil's face
The world is burning slowly
And the time is riding nigh
The destruction of the complex
At the vision that the angels cry
From the lips of babes
With the passions of the chosen
Lies the darkness of the light
Fists clinched but mouth wide open
Bearing the sins we commit
In mindless fits of apathy
Bowing down to our own failures
We ride on wings of deceit
And the ashes dance in the wind
Arranged in morbid echoes
The story nobody knows
Of a darkness that swallowed us whole
