Watch as the banks break

Flooding the land into the earth's heart

Fear creeps in

The stones are set with blood and lust

And the shadows bring what your despise

They move like snakes entwining ulcers within

War of words

Spoken in handshakes, behind locked doors

Tongues that twist and bend

Dragging us all to our end

And the skies turn black and the poison seeds don't grow

With riches they line, their pockets yet unpick the seams again

Brick by brick, you're closing yourself in

To build upon blood and sand is to build a tomb

The candles burn

The snake has spoken

Watch as they rise through the cracks

Eyes widen as the iris turns black

Face the beckoning

The winds of change are a myth

The meek shall inherit the earth

When their bodies are set adrift

[Solo]

Sever the roots that run deep and feed

Crown of thorns for your majesty

Failed mortal, thwarted King

[Solo]

To build on blood and sand is to build a tomb
