Exodus and Exile Lyrics

Album: The Stag

We're fading away

No reason to stay

The supplicants beg for salvation to come

Their ignorant rivers all flow into one

And I know, that their pain will just go on

For we walk this path, no turning back for home

But to walk this path will mean never to know

Kneeling, scarred

Entrance barred

Rushed headlong into the darkness, may we find our strength, everlasting

We've left it all behind

We've left it all behind

To build a vanquished throne

No truth we can deny

The past of doom untold

I ask you risk your life

We travel the unknown

To forge on or to die

March

As they wander into silence

I can hear the breaking of bones

The breaking of bonds which have held them together

Will wither away as they go astray

The misery

And the suffering

They will march one by one

As if straight towards the sun

Death shading their grim horizon

Never return

Never return again

It's been so long since I've seen them

The cleansing envious flames

They burn brighter, in the black starless night

Burning endless in strife, eager to devour human life

Our minds have awakened

Our faith was mistaken

Fed perilous lies

Were it no surprise?

The misery

And the suffering

They will march one by one

As if straight towards the sun

Death shading their grim horizon

Never return

Never return again

If I could stand

Face to face

Against the crooked frame of man

I would cry

Leave no trace

You're never to return again

Again

We left it all behind

To build a vanquished throne

No truth we can't deny

The past of doom unfolds

I ask you give your life

To journey the unknown

You forge on then you die

A sacrifice of light
