As we gaze at our glorious idol

The light guides us through

But I have grown close to the dark

The shadow that points me to you

Fire rains down from a hemorrhaging sky

The heretics proclaimed our end, alas judgment came for them

The city will remember its presence in their sleep

Long after all the memories have disappeared

Blinded by the hubris of your faith

Have you not

Been in the presence of gods before

Thou shall not

Return to Hedon forevermore

No sunrise for tomorrow

The ritual begins

Your ghost are mine to borrow

Ripped from your pallid skin

Your offering

Fails to suffice

Many will not be spared

For rebirth there must first be sacrifice

Realizing too late the consequences of our own curiosity

Here I stand in my home, yet terrified of where I am

I'm here in flesh I'm here in bone

This sacrament has torn my soul

Our paradise, it won't appear

I never should have been brought here

Crumbling your sanity while leading blind to quick demises

Like the ones who fell before you, there's no escape

Call beyond the realms of time execute these fools with strength divine

With Heresy in your head, you're as good as dead

For the ground that you stand on is stained red

Those who bear witness to the path will walk alone

Those who bear witness unto me will have their home

Those who bear witness to false gods pay the price

Those who bear witness to my sins know endless vice

This is the end, but you must go on
