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
