Hour of Penance
Single • 2024
And as the plague keeps crawling They eat the innards of the saints We failed Drawn to the pit by the smell of the carcass Mankind is enticed to oppression Blind and tied then bred to swallow this ill-fated blasphemous creed Taste the vile golden crown Forge anew the curse of life Sworn to obey your masters calling Tyranny is the saviour’s will and faith Bastards who hail the unseen servitude To fulfill their need to endure They cast them in gaols, tortured, skinned, maimed and sliced May their kin be eradicated to delight in everlasting grace Rabid like dogs, we serve and disgust you Weaving our self loathe to cling upon our lives Tyranny - We shall be devoted to centuries of pain Tyranny - We shall be devoted to slavers of the self Rabid like dogs, we serve and disgust you Weaving our self loathe to cling upon our lives Oh monarch, beseech us to keep upon our necks and feet the gentle chains of higher scorn Avow the guilt and skin the earth upon which I sacrifice my will and my desire for thee Fierce is the one who detests his creation As rot engulfs the ascended Choice became the mark of the traitors Hanging down from sacred trees Spiritual cancer swells To dissolve our mortal shell Don’t you see they birthed the culling? Tyranny is the saviour’s will and faith Bastards who hail the unseen servitude To fulfill their need to endure They cast them in gaols, tortured, skinned, maimed and sliced May their kin be eradicated to feed the neverending grace of war
