The Promised Land?
Cometh now the punishment For sins of yesterday Vacant eyes of those who lie How many times betrayed? Kneel down, protector Can you keep us safe from harm Embrace me as I fall Into your ice-cold arms Stone hands of justice gather dust These pillars wither at his touch Eating out of leprous hands Plagues come not from God but man For centuries we've gone without For traitors only one way out Away Awaiting your descent

Unseen cruelty in our veins Feel the stares of those betrayed Instincts no one can deny To wound another satisfies This disease awakens as the day begins Can you feel it rising from within? Waiting for the light One more day without the sun In this endless night Live to curse the name Gideon Lie awake in unmade bed (violence bred into our bones) scattered thoughts in dreaming heads (is that all we’ve evеr known?) This disease awakens as thе day begins Can you feel it rising from within? It’s calling – it calls out In this abyss we find No one is purified Now innocence has been denied

Do you hear the laughter, echoing insane As we feed the beast with madness in its veins All hail the chosen one, the wrath undone, the purifier We do just as we’re told, the chilling cold of a world on fire Can you see the future, lit by only flame Get the torches out, to protect the holy name I stay away from you, attending to what I require Survival is not greed, take what I need from this world on fire The sun sets on a thousand dead tonight Without a hope or a prayer to make it right Thе dream is now deceasеd, as we turn out the light We hunger, we’re starving, generations that will never rise again Do you hear them laughing now? Their end will now begin, can’t help but grin, as they expire They followed as they must, they put their trust in a world on fire And in the blackest night The last remaining light Is a world on fire
