Verse 1

The universe is bleeding

The fields are suffocating

Lo! Your temples crumble

while crow and vermin feast

The sacred tome of olden days

collects dust and decays

Know(!) its wisdom would have lead

to a reign that never ceased

Some claim they can see your fates:

the diluvial descension awaits

Lo! You deserve all of this

for mocking effigies

Religion was made clandestine

no one saw eye to eye

Hate(!) for gods that never show

Turns them into enemies

Pre-chorus

They’ll watch from far away

throughout strange aeons of decay and contempt

They won't care for you no more you’re

abandoned by forgotten gods for all time!

Verse 2

Their temples lie beneath the waves

under storms none braves

None(!) could ever hope to see

what their ancient worship fed

Plague will reap the last of you

there’s little faith you can renew

When(!) your pride has you blinded

thinking yourself enlightened

Extending unknown frontiers

could have saved you many years

Now(!) you’re left with worthless scrolls

and decrepit antiquary

Sealed away by a veiled entrance

Dormancy’s their vengeance

Hah! Though they’re withering away

theirs is a pyrrhic victory

Pre-chorus

They’ll watch from far away

throughout strange aeons of decay and contempt

They won't care for you no more you’re

abandoned by forgotten gods for all time!

Chorus

Rotting for many a century

their halls echo with silent prayers

Their world’s a mere penitentiary

a putrid kingdom with no heirs

The warden guards your mortal lives

Fleeing the plague you march onwards

Pillaging the earth where no one survives

Fading away with forgotten gods

Chorus

Rotting for many a century

their halls echo with silent prayers

Their world’s a mere penitentiary

a putrid kingdom with no heirs

The warden guards your mortal lives

Fleeing the plague you march onwards

Pillaging the earth where no one survives

Fading away with forgotten gods
