Forsaken
Entombed in monumental self-moral
Embracing the absurd
Reason turned to abstraction
Drowned in the shallowest of waters
Forgotten the will
To learn
Abandoned every urge to
Create
Every border can be breached
By the glorious armies of united perfection
Marching forth
Aiming low
A thirst to kill
Defending the nothingness
Forsaken
The unborn learns to hate
Navigation towards destruction
Letting our ideals slowly rot
And thus
Thus we choose
To die
Die with pride
And innocence
We became the heralds
Born and raised to preach
And to erase all traces
Of the abstract and evil
Swords
Temples
Fires
Doom
We failed to see what we fed
The serpent of the deeps
It grew and shitngled the truths
We were embracing the lies
We once could see it's eyes
The stare of death and deceit
We feared not, the secrets we knew
The guardian of the deeps
Lost
And the darkness will prevail
Forever
Folding hands with clouded sight
Ceremonial rituals will obscure the mind
Forever
Lost
And turning blossom to decay
Forever
Fighting wars with clouded sight
Ceremonial rituals will obscure the mind
Forever
Entombed in monumental self-moral
Embracing the absurd
Reason turned to abstraction
Drowned in the shallowest of waters
Forgotten the will
To learn
Abandoned every urge to
Create
Every border can be breached
By the glorious armies of united perfection
Marching forth
Aiming low
A thirst to kill
Defending the nothingness
Forsaken
The unborn learns to hate
Navigation towards destruction
Letting our ideals slowly rot
And thus
Thus we choose
To die
Die with pride
And innocence
We became the heralds
Born and raised to preach
And to erase all traces
Of the abstract and evil
Swords
Temples
Fires
Doom
We failed to see what we fed
The serpent of the deeps
It grew and shitngled the truths
We were embracing the lies
We once could see it's eyes
The stare of death and deceit
We feared not, the secrets we knew
The guardian of the deeps
Lost
And the darkness will prevail
Forever
Folding hands with clouded sight
Ceremonial rituals will obscure the mind
Forever
Lost
And turning blossom to decay
Forever
Fighting wars with clouded sight
Ceremonial rituals will obscure the mind
Forever
