The ancient beast has awakened

A gilded chimera with a serpentine tongue

Spewing forth a vitriol most toxic

Corroding the pillars of liberty

The granite of the temple has begun to crumble

A mass of stone crashing upon the ground

Reduced to sand

Reduced to nothing

Ring in the death of the old regime

Parade in the streets to announce your claim

The Antichrist you've been waiting for

Is staring you straight in the eyes

The cycle can never be broken

Until the end of time



The false prophet bares his sharpened teeth

Poised like a hawk with wings of perdition's flame

Hollow eyes ever-gazing like the desert Sun

Adorned with his pyrite crown

Feeding the fires of the war machine

Pin the stars upon the brave

Golden armor upon the dead

Bullets as virulent as the plague

The storm foretold has only begun

Bear witness to the growing desperate winds

A hail of knives fall from the sky

And thunderous trumpets heralds his reign
