The weight of our sin
Tips the scales of the famine
Give plague to our our world
Bestow upon us molestation
As slaves to the anguish
And bound to our desecration
We kiss in dark corners
The mouths of annihilation

The shadows unveiled as archangel
Upon us they grace us the words "we are of perdition"
Opening of the seven seals
Our shadows will call thy name :
"We are the fire and flame"

Fall into the shadows cast
By the crown of degradation
Rise in abandon of the flesh
That screamed with imperfection
The furies of this living hell
Still hold us close in adulation
No more tears from dying eyes
As the flies descend to consume us from the skies


We will sing the serpents song
And dance in their inferno
Watch the heavens burn
Their angels' ash will fall as snow
The skies will crack
The earth gives way
The seas will swallow
Their love and light will be eclipsed by our orders shadow

We all chew at the umbilical cord.
Gnash the teeth. Loose us from the mother.
Leave the nest, spread the wings, eclipse the sun, take fire to the fields
And find your grace through desolation.

Now's the season of the shadow : watch the sky turn black.
Now, give love to the devils who dwell inside and give your hand to the reaper.

I can't see through their haze as I suffocate, as I'm suffocating.
As we walk through this maze, all that remains of Eden is disintegrating.

Now's the season of the shadow : watch the sky turn black.
Now, give love to the devils who dwell inside and give your hand to the reaper.

Upon their rusted blades, serve your soul unto the reaper.

I can't remember what it means to be alive
Will you show me? will you show me how to get inside?
I can't remember what it means to sacrifice
When i can't even feel the pain when I've been so anesthetized.

No, I don't mean anything
Nothing to the divine
As I lay my heart before you
I burn in the shadow of the saint and the valentine

Kiss the cold and the dark,
And say goodnight to the memories
The ghost of a yesterday
Will hold you close to keep the hurt at bay

As our time transpired
We became as effigies
Underneath a veil of grey
Collapsing in on our own decay
