lyrics

Remaining encased in this dormant place
Anchored by hate & disgrace
Wipe the dust from your ego, a new body will arise
Let the evil show its face

Time has been erased
The evil will show its face

Hoping for a mercy you’ll never see
In the end you will repeat this again
you wrote your victories in sand

Oblivious to what's coming next
You Attempt to recollect
the purpose of your being
To which You can't recall
Someday should You find yourself
You’ll be rid of these walls

Much like the rat in the alleyway
You’ve led your feral existence
You have been dismissed, dishonored
Much like the rat in the alleyway
You’ve led your feral existence

Drifted
In time and space we shall remain
Hopeless, you count the moments
Until you’re ridden of this disdain

Pushing back the shadow inside
Your eyes wide shut as they’ve ever been
Repression until darkness subsides

You have been dismissed, dishonored
Diagnosed with a plague

Now the dust settles
as your plans unfold
Blinded no more,
your subjects seek redemption
In the form of blood & gold

Time has been erased
Let the evil show its face
In the end you will repeat this again
you wrote your victories in sand

Remaining encased in this dormant place
Anchored by hate & disgrace
Wipe the dust from your ego, a new body will arise
Let the evil show its face

Let us see your face
Show yourself
