This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Heads down for the coming apocalypse
The end to impurity spread through the ages
Unveil your fear in the wake of his wrath
Who moves the earth as you lie still
Yes; there I am; one in the crowd
The soil, the flames in my command
Triumphant in the world you perceive
Curse me; you know that I exist
An army of thousands so worthless
Faith grows thin; so be the judgement
War for the empire; oh, it is so close
Ash scattered through the heavens
As fire rewrites the scriptures
Condemned; in fear of no one
The serpent's voice; not to see inside
I leash the waters; I tame the sky
Untouched by the rain of fire
Seen the day you voiced your anger at heaven
As the day of the famine and plague
Blindfolded to how much he hated your kind
By the sacrifice; the nameless command
The whole world was inside the sinking ark
Now all that you believed in is gone
An army of thousands so faithless
Worth submitted; undone judgement
War for the empire; so fucking close
Ash scattered through the heavens
As fire rewrites the scriptures
Condemned; in fear of no one
The serpent's voice; not to see inside
I am all; I am divine
Untouched by the hand of your god
The end to impurity spread through the ages
Unveil your fear in the wake of his wrath
Who moves the earth as you lie still
Yes; there I am; one in the crowd
The soil, the flames in my command
Triumphant in the world you perceive
Curse me; you know that I exist
An army of thousands so worthless
Faith grows thin; so be the judgement
War for the empire; oh, it is so close
Ash scattered through the heavens
As fire rewrites the scriptures
Condemned; in fear of no one
The serpent's voice; not to see inside
I leash the waters; I tame the sky
Untouched by the rain of fire
Seen the day you voiced your anger at heaven
As the day of the famine and plague
Blindfolded to how much he hated your kind
By the sacrifice; the nameless command
The whole world was inside the sinking ark
Now all that you believed in is gone
An army of thousands so faithless
Worth submitted; undone judgement
War for the empire; so fucking close
Ash scattered through the heavens
As fire rewrites the scriptures
Condemned; in fear of no one
The serpent's voice; not to see inside
I am all; I am divine
Untouched by the hand of your god
