The Rot Beneath

Is this the ending of the rage against the night? Is this the norm by which you measure all your guilt? We are accomplices in this destruction of our selves Let demons reign over your days However vigilant against the ignorant The darkness calls for blood to be spilt You are oblivious The oncoming tide will wash away the dying and the dead You curse the altar On this day of your sacrifice Your will and integrity Upon the stones now lie Without mercy, no reprieve It all goes down tonight You rеsign from your truth and honor Under the cloud of chaos Without mercy, no rеprieve It all goes down tonight Begin the slaughter Under the blood-red banner You fly the flag The blood-red banner You fly the flag It's undeniable Whatever storm comes crashing down It will be justified For in the end your flesh is weak You'll never bite the bloodied hand that feeds Forget that freedom for you are bought and sold Upon the stones Under the blood-red banner You fly the flag The blood-red banner You fly the flag The blood-red banner You curse the altar On this day of your sacrifice Your will and integrity Upon the stones now lie Without mercy, no reprieve It all goes down tonight You resign from your truth and honor Under the cloud of chaos Without mercy, no reprieve It all goes down tonight Begin the slaughter Under the blood-red banner You fly the flag The blood-red banner You fly the flag The blood-red banner

Tall barbaric structures Like coffins reaching for the sky Ratchet human machinery Subservient to the end Every hour is death approaching As we toil away in the mire There's decay inside these crumbling walls There is evil in these tombs Through the eyes of the distant stars We have failed and we will fail again What are we if not the cause of the problem? So caught in reality Can't see what's right in front of us What are we if not the cause of the problem? What are we if not the rot beneath? Can't see what's right in front of us We got to fight the instinct, got to fight ourselves What are we if not the cause of the problem? What are we if not the rot beneath? An obvious to humanity's plight Dead under the grinding wheels Greet the bones of servitude They're the waste composition horde Lead further down the mausoleum With every stinking breath Lead further down the mausoleum With every stinking breath Through the eyes of the distant stars We have failed and we will fail again What are we if not the cause of the problem? What are we if not the rot beneath? What are we if not the cause of the problem? So caught in reality Can't see what's right in front of us What are we if not the cause of the problem? What are we if not the rot beneath? Can't see what's right in front of us We got to fight the instinct, got to fight ourselves What are we if not the cause of the problem? What are we if not the rot beneath?

They scream with the anger of the endless dead Monoliths to the enslaved Reaching further into the soil below Devoured by the sands of time Forgotten beneath the vapid earth Centuries below An iron fist of power The fires in the distance Spell death for us all The will of the elders forever undone From entombed empires They scream with the anger of the endless dead One step forward six feet down Another waste forgotten One step forward six feet down No one will remember Centuries below An iron fist of power The fires in the distance Spell death for us all The will of the elders forever undone From entombed empires They scream with the anger of the endless dead You're furthering nothing, reaching no goal You're aiming the arrow of progress too high It all amounts to nothing, just build more tombs Centuries below An iron fist of power The fires in the distance Spell death for us all The will of the elders forever undone From entombed empires They scream with the anger of the endless dead The endless dead

There's no first light Coming from the dawn There is no horizon In a darkened apathy We let go of This one true deception One blow at a time Another dissonant Voice forever silenced To the indifferent eyes We are the same This is the savagery Of our tyranny So we let go Our demons left to rule Let go Rotten be the core We let go There's gotta be more than this Retake the lost control As the pantheons of power corrupt We burn our flags in distress A perfect storm of our moral decay Embrace this darkened apathy Embrace that which darkens our lives To the absolute There is no revolution Beyond the call All must stand alone So we let go Our demons left to rule Let go Rotten be the core We let go There's gotta be more than this Retake the lost control As the pantheons of power corrupt We burn our flags in distress A perfect storm of our moral decay Embrace this darkened apathy There's no first light Coming from the dawn There is no horizon In a darkened apathy Retake the lost control When the pantheons of power corrupt We burn our flags in distress A perfect storm of our moral decay Embrace this darkened apathy So we let go In the pantheons of power We let go We burn our flags We let go One perfect storm We let go In a darkened apathy
