A giant stands, a shadow cast by his hand They're taking our lives away, and dragging us from our homes, bereft of constitution, the tyrant sun Calling back to the instinct to be controlled, clandestine convalescent, the rule is old The violent shift in violent tones, the silent build has been exposed Has been exposed Calling back to the instinct to be controlled, clandestine convalescent, the rule is old The acid reign, has taken hold In time they'll sing, the monarchy of the sun Created in the image, of a perfect design My brothers and sisters! Only love will raise the tide Rise They're taking our lives away, and dragging us from our homes, Bereft of its foundation, the fallen one The acid reign, has taken hold In time they'll sing, the monarchy of the sun

Are you out of your mind? Betraying what makes you strong They tried to make it right They tried so hard, for so long Now you think you have power Now that you are on the wrong side But all this will devour Evil wrapped around you skin-tight Soon you will see You're incomplete 'Cause your destiny Is in unity Trapped in the web of shadows Just let the spirit guide you 'cause Justice will prevail Make way for better days Trapped in the web of shadows Justice will prevail It took a myth to bring you back It took a battle to settle the score Broken instinct caused by a venom shock Left you in a middle of a fraternal war Do you wanna be like that? Do you really want to remain altered? Do they really need to remind you of how This illusion started Soon you will see You're incomplete 'Cause your destiny Is in unity Trapped in the web of shadows Just let the spirit guide you 'cause Justice will prevail Make way for better days Trapped in the web of shadows Justice will prevail In the web of shadows

Crystalline time expands Frozen cold Condemned marching toward the void Pulse pounding emptiness unfolds Ethereal mystery Sharpened steel shall rise from the shroud Strained echoes across eternity Unnoticed by the crowd For your sins the sentence is passed Life is forfeit For your crimes the sentence is death Justice callous swift Disbelief devolves into dread Life is forfeit An omen ominous The angled blade rises Prepare the ritual An invitation of death on display A morbid spectacle An invitation of death on display Prepare the ritual An invitation of death on display A morbid spectacle An invitation of death on display Glistening in horror Singular in purpose Standing as an altar To the glory of death The brutal conscience Of the proud machine The final caress Metal the guillotine Stoic the shackles of doubt Eyes growing cold Embracing oblivion Creaming foretold Defying calm of incontent Eyes growing cold Questions of eternity The triumphant return to the fold For your sins the sentence is passed Life is forfeit For your crimes the sentence is death Justice callous swift Disbelief devolves into dread Life is forfeit An omen ominous The angled blade rises The rope related bleaches hate The two cents has begun A manual blade for nobles Has its alike in one stroked cut

Discard the soul Into the living night The slime of reason Passed into mortal form Fell voices summon you Willed into consciousness Behold the pattern Of infernal life Oh Worlds behind Worlds behind the world The circle of time The circle of time has no end Oh Placed behind this mortal plane A cosmic mockery, a blasphemy If only to remain in oblivion The weeping skies rain down On our crumbling domain Embrace the void to be reborn If only to discover that it's all the same These final moments last forever If only to discover that it's all the same If only to discover that it's all the same If only to discover, it's all the same

Arise from the distance Riding on a crest of despair Dark shapes in the shadows Desecrate the virgin night Transcendental chaos calls Strengthening the somber path The lies of the distant past Laid bare before this shattered realm Ay! Haunted by our past lives Calling from a higher realm Reach beyond existence Following the midnight path Ay! We live inside reflections On a bleak material plane Break these earthly shackles Far beyond the veil Oh! Tear away the veil Tear away the veil Tear away the veil Tear away the veil Tear away the veil Tear away the veil Tear away the veil Tear away the veil
