Portrait in Blood Lyrics


A thunderous hymn wakes the serene night

Sacrilegious demon take that spiteful flight

Confined to the shelter so dark and deep

Reverberates the lullaby for their final sleep

Suffocated souls await deliverance in peace

A false sense of surety puts their minds at ease

With scarred souls and wounded pride

They await a better day

Knowing not their last breaths's a few moments away

Propaganda masking reality

Aiding crimes against humanity

Remorseless acts of brutality

A dark stairway to immortality

The price that they pay for liquid gold

The feud that's a few decadent decades old

Scavengers of sorrow assemble for the feast

Countless lives sacrificed to feed the hungry beast

Pile of human body parts, a flaming testimony

To the trail  of savagery, the tale of gluttony

A star spangled gift that's a grave beneath the stones

Epitaph for the worthless engraved in flesh and bones

Propaganda masking reality

Aiding crimes against humanity

Remorseless acts of brutality

A dark stairway to immortality

(SOLO)

Propaganda masking reality

Aiding crimes against humanity

Remorseless acts of brutality

A dark stairway to immortality
