Fall Of The Idols - Agonies Be Thy Children lyrics



Tracks



01. Halls Of The Forgotten

In oblivion, the damned silently await
For they there's no hope no tomorrow
Darkness descends and it's too late
left in the void and bound with sorrows

In halls of the forgotten

No prayers can enter the cursed halls
Of broken hearts and muffled screams
No redemption for the desecrated souls
Never to be awaken from this dream

In halls of the forgotten

Vast are the halls of the forgotten

02. Agonies Be Thy Children

Amidst shadows of night I make myself a seer
To see the answer through the stream so clear
That flows by endless rows of nameless stones
Piled upon the tombs of the kings unknown

Agonies be thy children, so we forsake this world

With this impending doom above our heads
We go hand in hand and join with the dead
Into realms beneath the womb of the earth
Baptised with blood, scavenged for rebirth

Agonies be thy children, so we forsake this world
To the land of shadows by the paths unheard

As thy world devours itself, we wash ourselves clean
The end is thy own making, all that was becomes a dream

Agonies be thy children, so we forsake this world

We walk a darker path to see what lies
Beyond the skies of misanthropic wrath

03. The Walk

Past the icons of earthly woes
To a place without weary throes
Thru the veil no man's ever passed
Unfurled lies the faith in the last
Mob chanting before the feast
Until The Tide is unleashed

Each step hammers the soil
With revelations imbued in coil
One humming note permeates the air
As the walk descends into a lair
Where seven wives entertain the frail
Away from the unseen trail

The walk is for those who dare
Pass the sadist's glare

04. Beneath The Burning Sun

Eyes barely open I wander this earth
I'm tired but I cannot sleep
Black sky that paints the stars of the end
Cries with me as I crawl
On this weary hour my wounds still bleed
And the battle rages forever on
The god I've forsaken placed a curse on me
And everything I love has died

Lying on the ground
I scream into the night
But the voice has died
The bitterness strangles my throat

With shaking hands I hold on life
Recalling good parts of my time
With weakened legs I try to stand tall
But this burden makes me tremble and fall
I've prayed for god, I've prayed for Satan
But no one will answer me

Lying on the ground
I scream into the night
But the voice has died
No one will hear the cry of a shattered dream

This is as far as I can come
Beneath the burning sun
Here, my world meets its end
In ruins which I cannot amend
Closing my eyes and drawing my breath
I welcome the final rest
Without the fear of waking after death
