lyrics

Concessions we’ve made in the name of justice
Disease the foundations where masses bled

Where have you gone, O Keepers of Man
The will of life grows dry in your hands

Currents will run cold
As we’re sinking below
This mantle weighs us down
And we’re satisfied to drown
In the stronghold deep, we sleep

Covetous torrents like spiraling darkness
Greedy to whelve the valiant dead

Lives rendered shadows, defeated souls
The dying lights on a thread of time
Beneath a darkening sky we writhe

Plunged into chaos with tongues of ashes
Crippled and hollow, pretentious in vain
This paradise placid & rancid & stained

Concessions we’ve made in the name of justice
Disease the foundations where masses bled

Where have you gone, O Keepers of Man
The will of life grows dry in your hands

Currents will run cold
As we’re sinking below
This mantle weighs us down
And we’re satisfied to drown
In the stronghold deep, we sleep

This strife and hope
Will echo through time
Both demand war
For control of one’s mind

A price must be paid
To truly unfold
The Trauma displayed
By forces of old

A future remade
By those who are bold
We’re digging up graves
In realms unknown
(Realms unknown)
(Realms unknown)
