lyrics

EMBERS

Waste no darkness, we have the after light / Wooden crosses,
pyres immaculate glow / 100 years standing (yet) fallen in one night /
Bible means nothing, empty words of dead men / Hail! Hail! Fire! Fire!
In seconds, structure engulfed / Red cinders kiss the black veil,
crumbled steeple falls to hell / New dawn approaching and the smoke
has cleared / Sundays are dead and the serpent is near / Gore filled
gospels, stench filled nostrils / With lies and malice he stacks the
pews / Mocking the sermons, killing the vermin / Antioch burns tonight
/ We watch the fire and we rejoice / For it is our choice for he has
no voice / Were only heathens in this night / Gazing upon unholy light
/ Terror jackals ripping prey, once the flock was lead astray / Never
one to obey, I control my fate / Holy man upon his knees begging for
forgiveness please / Revelations plays out mentally / Smoldering
salvation, embers fall on my tongue / Retribution’s price is divine /
Promised land you promised me the flaming fields of prophecy / Set
ablaze your sanctuary / Laying to waste your symbol of lies / Upon the
cross is where your religion can die / Unanswered prayers because no
one can hear your cries / Contorting truths for the hope of an
afterlife / Its burning down / Terror jackals ripping prey, once the
flock was lead astray / Never one to obey, I control my fate / Holy
man upon his knees, begging for forgiveness please / Revelations plays
out mentally / Smoldering salvation, embers fall on my tongue /
Retribution’s price is divine / Promised land you promised me the
flaming fields of prophecy / Set ablaze your sanctuary / Cleansing the
earth of your worthless existence / You feel the fires from hell
absolve your pestilence / We’ve endured centuries of keeping the
plebeians ignorant / Receiving gifts of the infernal sacrament / Flesh
to ash, seared in gas / Bodies impaled by the stained glass / Free at
last / Will you repent as you pass / Embers of the last chapel /
Consecrated as it falls / Embers of the last chapel / Through the
carnage you shall crawl / Fall!
