The Crown of Fathers Lyrics


All as one

Drawn towards the deceiver

Confused by the gleam of his empire

In their blindness they searched for a shelter

A search for life brought death to their future

They realized that the hymns of his fire

Taught them only of plague and decay

To a lesser evil they did aspire

Finding nothing but their anxiety

And they beheld what they had learned

As all their promises decayed

Still an echo of the prophesy they heard

And in silence it led them astray

The lips that gave a passion for life

The taste of nectar slowly turned vile

Nothing left but a distant cry

As the venom blackened their eyes

The words they cheered were not of might

But empty echoes of the world they despised

For they no longer could navigate

And thus they held on to their faith

As it held the seed of life concealed

And of hatred later revealed

All as one grew to see the pain too soon

Repulsed by life

Now struggling through

The pain and the ache and the hours consume

Their will imprisoned in a timeless tomb
