lyrics

An unmistakable doom overcomes a once towering throne
Now sits atop the embers and stone of its great collapse
Beckoning its once great king to restore its former glory
But the day for redemption has passed into a night of reckoning
Smoke from the ashes
Slowly dispersed display
The silhouette of a figure
Come forth to its demise
Fallen angel? the merciless god!
This will be your resting place
Your death will live in infamy
His honor in resignation met with doubt
The air clears, his motive revealed
Once peasant cowards escort the dead
When the foundations fall
When the captor is the caged
The people will arise
They'll set this world aflame
As the fires ascend from hell
To purge the filth of calamity
Accepting his defeat he sits at his throne
Patiently awaiting their collective degradation
The demons are surrounding him as a horde
Constricting ivory suffocates his final breath
A consummate mutilation of facial deformity
Shattered sockets drowning in pools of blood
Forever trapping the soul of the deceased
A tomb of flesh and bone to keep him indisposed
As a disfigured rotting corpse
Left to feed his beloved rats
Their malevolent purpose now fulfilled
In an indignant artistry
They're chanting an ominous hymn
For eternal condemnation
From the confines of their torment
The peasants fearfully gather
To become one with the immortal
And rule for all eternity
One by one they recite their requiem
The sacrificial genocide of the human race
What have we become?
Murderers now seen as saviors?
May our bodies rest in peace
Below the shadows of our souls
