Mentally defiled from the cold black absence<br/> Fighting for control of my new corpse<br/> Haunted by the presence of a million memories<br/> Plucked from kindred souls<br/> <br/> Histories and tombstones but a faded practice<br/> No one left the victors to survive<br/> Led to burn for nothing but a brand new horror<br/> Forced upon the meadow taking life<br/> <br/> My mind is open wide<br/> <br/> Thrust into a realm<br/> Of dark and light forsaken<br/> Crafted by its hand<br/> To muse the sins of man<br/> While plotting its revenge<br/> With ash and sacrifice<br/> The herald of the end<br/> Behold, the product our sin<br/> <br/> And when you see it’s portraits on the walls<br/> Then you will know just what it meant to fall<br/> This is your home, we’ve waited far too long<br/> The seventh birth, you are right where you belong<br/> <br/> Within this realm<br/> Where it found peace<br/> We have found secrets of our Tyrant ruler<br/> <br/> And if you seek<br/> For truth or lies<br/> You will find both inside our shattered garden<br/> <br/> Personify the soul attached within you<br/> Evoke the strength left vacant for the hatred in your heart<br/> <br/> The pure one<br/> The gathering one<br/> The bleeding one<br/> The blinding one<br/> The darkened one<br/> The nurturing one<br/> The burning one<br/> Bred as captives knowing only death<br/> <br/> So when you feel your fated lonely call<br/> Then you will know, its lies were told to all<br/> Bringer of fear, a harbinger in thrall<br/> After your wrath, there will be nothing to recall<br/> <br/> The Tyrants plan<br/> Will be fulfilled<br/> Now that the burning one is manifest<br/> <br/> There’s no escape<br/> From truth and lies<br/> You’re now a patron of our shattered garden
