about

The end of the beginning.

lyrics

Deaf from gunfire, promised them the hereafter
Infidels and tinsel sell sincere the fear factor
Between utterances you can see their sneers captured
Regret the only thing I hold inside this clear chapter

I stay calm, sitting upon a throne of napalm
Watching the world burn around me, it won’t take long
I levitate above the fray my acid rain falls
Quenching thirsts turn to agony's insane squalls
A bag of grief that sloshes, tubing needle to the vein
A blurry vision of the fight, I see it through the flames
A circus prison has arrived, it might behoove to claim
Started as a world at war but only two remain
It's Romulus and Remus, maybe it is Cain and Abel
Sacrificing everything they ever loved to claim the faithful
The fall from grace, blade perched upon the altar waits
A shade worse than apocalypse they brawl with rage
Conveyor belts shift the dead as they are hauled away
Twitching on the belt, incinerators call the maimed
No holiday or respite victory's the only way
The fallen cascade into trenches, open graves

Deaf from gunfire, promised them the hereafter
Infidels and tinsel sell sincere the fear factor
Between utterances you can see their sneers captured
Regret the only thing I hold inside this clear chapter

Twisted metal lock swinging from a broken cage
The joker plays his house of cards so proud with poker face
Hope decays becoming festered in the jaws of life
Atrocity lobotomized piranhas gnaw the plights
A numbing essence cloaking everything I once believed
A feel the flames start to lick my feet from underneath
I'm not above I am in it cause I made it all
The 8th day I sat and wondered why the fatal call
From cradle to the grave engraved with all the names they gave me
Every holy palace in my homage drove me crazy
The bloviating staking claims on my behalf in here
It took more than snakes and apples to craft an atmosphere
The verse and chapter divisive, makers of new ways
The third days the hoorays the rock and rollers crusades
A new drug for the mute to crave and watch the bruises spread
A kingdom awaiting suicide, the righteous choosing death

Deaf from gunfire, promised them the hereafter
Infidels and tinsel sell sincere the fear factor
Between utterances you can see their sneers captured
Regret the only thing I hold inside this clear chapter
