lyrics

They wallow in sadness, of the greatness,
of what it took to make this
inhabit this bliss and break apart make sight of what you can see through the mist.
young warrior, young blood tell us of your misfortune
of what is rather than what was.

A poet of his time telling his stories through the meanings of rhyme.
Their king is weak, this plague has brought him to his knees
our civilization is the greatest and plague the world has ever seen.
whoa
the moon is paved in blood as both young and old are slaughtered
our Saviour is now our martyr.
there is no end to justify the means and you can hear the screams.

they say , please tell us what we can do, to save the youth
to undo that which has already been done, will we live to see tomorrow to see the sun.

This being replies, no, tonight is the night you die.
You have forsaken life, even killing your own kind.
And if you can kill your own then what are you to me
another worthless being praying for mercy.
bow now to me for I am your new king,
I am the ones they speak of in all your prophecies
the new disease you shall die of me,
I am both anger and that of greed
I am your darkness nightmare don't you see you planted this seed
grovel now at my feet for no man can kill me.
I am immortality I am what your very conscious could never fathom see.




XX

You can do nothing he says again, this is the end.
I am telling you this story from a distant land
where we learned from your mistakes and our society began.
Your society is ancient, amazing how lives were so wasted,
here we do not waste blood
that of war is such a distant foolish ideal of what was.
still, I cannot help but feel sorry for your people,
for I know there is some good in lands that are evil.

You did not live to see tomorrow to see the sun,
but know that you helped show other societies what to never become.
