Thorns pull all under

Devour and plunder

All foundations torn asunder

Disintegration of both sides of the pole

This infection shall make us whole once more

Laid bare upon the altar

Left all but a tacet prayer

Held unto, never faltered

So tell me did we have to end this way?

Tear your eyes out to see them fall

Into the fray

You heard the words now you heed the call

Or worship decay

There's no win in this never-ending game we play

I'll make it stop by setting the board ablaze

This is the only way

I am the hand that feeds the poison

I am the land that the seed grows in

When the sides of the pole are no more

The infection has made us whole

Thorns pull all under

Devour and plunder

All foundations torn asunder

Laid bare upon the altar

Left all but a tacet prayer

Held unto, never faltered

So tell me was it worth the price we paid?

When it's all over there will be nothing left to decay

When it's all done there will be no one left to feel despair

No more pleasure, nor pain, no more burden to bear

I'll turn all colors into endless gray

This is the only way

I am the hand that feeds the poison

I am the land that the seed grows in

Laid bare upon the altar

Left all but a tacet prayer

Held unto, never faltered

So tell me who did we betray?
