Pariah's Vow
No lyrics have been submitted for this track yet.
I stand surrounded and confounded by the holocaust Of a billion shrieking souls that have all twice been lost It seems that heaven’s no paradise, but a hellish prison instead And there isn’t a moment of rest for the ruthless dead: “Hear us, heed us! Mark us, be lost in our call This is eternity’s offering, our offering Your rightful place awaits… If you'll just scream with us If you'll just scream with us, your rightful place awaits." Louder still, as it bears upon us, bones begin to break “Surrender now your piteous tongues; in our melody partake Oh pious thirst, willing victims first, your mislead courage is but a curse.” “We’d rather die with unclouded eyes, than into this nightmare wake.” “To arms, to arms… God, save us from our faith in You God, save us from our faith in You.” With this began a bloody wrath upon our mortal lives A new meaning of despair that no man can survive Still defiantly we gaze into our God’s vengeance As the Heavens unveil our unrelenting torments One by one, these words crept into our Hearts and mouths, we’d known them all along And suddenly, there was no need to fight at all We had already overcome All too clear was the hatred within “Come, traitors,” All too clear was the triumph at hand “Hear us sing… You have forgotten your word (Your word) It is we that forgive you, now (You, now) You have forgotten your word (Your word) It is we that forgive you, now.”

We are under the influence of a glutinous machine With green shaded eyes and pupils glazed over with dollar signs A deteriorated systematic failure of principles Corrodes the fabric of the American dream These newfound world leaders sit patiently in contempt of us all Convening for fraudulent talks of world peace; there are no terms to these failed negotiations The outcome is an untold truth where Blood money is pooled To front progress towards uninhabitable wastelands These artists of destruction unveil their greatest masterpiece Painting the sky with bastard glory Beams of light pierce through the golden clouds There is no beauty to be found in this stunning array of lights and sounds The wise man is now in search of fools gold But in the wake of nuclear holocaust his wealth is reduced to ash to keep him warm “Fuck Wear your middle finger like a badge of honor; stand up and fight, tear down what's left of this!” Life is a constant ear-piercing silence which cuts through my thoughts Leaving them for a beast who's known by the name: desolation “I'm a soulless wretch in a new America, scavenging and fighting for thinning resource Self-mutilation leaves me unrecognizable to the memories of loved ones who perished, years ago The time for action is upon us In pursuit of a redefined liberty, survival is the only option The time for action is upon us In pursuit of a redefined liberty, survival is the only option The time for action is upon us In pursuit of a redefined liberty, survival is the only option.”

Darkness Darkness Darkness Darkness Darkness falls upon this bleak, enveloped estate; I stare into its blackened antiquity and wait Silence is stifling the howling wind at my back; With emptiness, it echoes upon the ivory black Again Distress interrupts the whispered still of the night From beyond the unhinged door, to offer its invite “Oh, save me!” sounds a plea, a child calls from the debris As I rush to find and set him free, whatever is his plight Tearing through thе wreckage, exploring еvery nook His cry resounding louder, upon no visage do I look With dead and smiling faces underneath the cracked floorboards There’s no quarter here for children, nor their restless souls In sudden, am I felled by the flooding rapids of death Torrentially engulfed, I cherish my last breath “Oh, save me!” I sound a plea as but a child in a toxic sea: “Someone please set me free”, in swifter currents am I arrest Light shines deep beneath me, a faint glimmer at first Then it glows blindingly, for warmth I begin to thirst I swim the chilling shadow, leave that wretched place behind For miles washed asunder, unbeknownst of what I’d find Again in anxious beckoning, for the last time he implores The lonesome deathly child beseeches me all the more “Oh, save me,” I hear his plea, and answer it belatedly: “Lay your head and rest in peace”, and drew breath like I hadn’t afore

The rope around her neck pulled taut like the one around her youth And every once-beloved misled their sight, in horrified untruth With a torch behind his back, he feigned paternal consolation No father would let a child have a life like this, so he’d insist she have none “Now, hold your breath, Scarlet Drink not in these burning currents Stay your lungs here, where the sharks prowl.” A drip of red innocеnce thins in the black of a mercilеss sea “Just you hold your breath, Scarlet You’re too good for this world You’re too good for this world You’re too good for this world You’re too good for this world.” Drowning deceit in flames, confined Death is now the only mercy on which she relies The sky is spinning, not too much longer now What a welcome release from this world to shut her eyes and never have to see through them again... I see you’ve washed ashen guilt from your hands to indulge in applause Without a dry eye for your victim or a selfless pause So even if you can’t, I see you for what you are: Griever, seer, fiend, you've lost yourself in the char Hell’s no escape from her pursuit Until vengeance carves her stillborn heart anew From within me she imbues Eager to breathe in, at long last, the scent of the blood of a father she thought she knew... “Still, may this reckoning forgive And so, forever shall you live… For, true suffering needs neither fire nor flood Eternally, will consequence be your ever-living Hell And when I’m dead and gone, only the blackest of depths will remember your name But when sanity abandons you, mine is the only word your broken mind will think to say: ...Scarlet” You're (You're) Too (Too) Good For this world

The truth has set free... A sickly embodiment, the thunder that shakes my identity With guilted ink, it rewrites our reality On a stone carved of all my imaginings Making men once strong weak, in days now dark as night It will never stop until I forget (I forgive) Until the ink in my blood runs dry And so, my thoughts haunt me: Your last moment's revisiting I stand humbled by the grasp of oblivion In a staggered descent For what seems like years Towards the realization of unimaginable solitude And if I could, I'd suffer this myself But the untold truth is that you wouldn't have it any other way No, I will еarn this sacrifice For, you show me what it is to live You show mе what it is to live To live I will claim this uncertainty for myself, and give it a name that it fears This is the day I abandon truth for the answers I've been searching for... This is the day I abandon truth for the answers I've been searching for... Today, even the stone beneath my feet shall be forever forgotten No, I will earn this sacrifice So, let me show you what it is to live

Hear the words proclaiming the sons of kings How hollow it sounds with only talk of prophecy Here the common man rots, outside these city walls, in the filth of his majesty Brace yourself, for it walks within our minds White smoke distracts from the whispers of corruption Now silenced by the roar of the crowd Is the gathering for welcoming a sacred paternity To celebrate the new world's living deity A figure appears, dressed like a king, raising his arms, proclaiming the word: (These iniquities cannot be cleansed; I fear the evil implemented by the reign of control) And though I’m walking through the valley of death The only shadow I see is your silhouette (Thy kingdom will come to burn in the judgment…) If we live to see a revelation, I’d stake my soul that you’ll be one… (...of the damned) Of the damned I’ll chain you to the gates of hell till the devil takes you back I’ll chain you to the gates of hell till the devil takes you back I’ll chain you to the gates of hell till the devil takes you back I watch children’s lives crumble to the lust of the men of the cloth Preying upon the innocent, choking the life out of faith We won’t be a bandage for this impure divinity We won’t be a bandage for this impure divinity Let's crack its brittle ribcage, and prove that they are heartless! Let's crack its brittle ribcage, to prove that they are heartless!

“Sound the alarm, wake the guards Death does not wait for man nor beast They come as the shade of night Burning with desire for demise of our pride Relentless, unforgiving, our fate is sealed By the hands of heathens- by the hands of liars We must pay for what we have done.'” “Two seasons ago we marched for purpose, out for justice Lead by our hearts in what we were sure was truth Through the gates, house by house, burning it all to the ground Leave nothing of this broken town but their entrails for the crows and worms.” Even liars have truth that slips through the cracks in their teeth “No time for mercy, boy It's time to be strong Your God wants his redemption, but it's going to have to wait till we are done Line them up by class, with the rich in the front and the poor in the back You can barter with the faint of heart, when your money's only good in the right amount Make no mistake, these beggars clothes are lined in silk We took everything, spared no one, left them to be forgotten But what lied, buried inside, amongst the rotting flesh Was a nameless evil that was out for all of us Each soul dispatched by my hands returns for what is theirs Carve your legacy upon my open chest... Make haste, take it all back Make haste, take it all back Make haste, take it all back Make haste, take it all-” “Sound the alarm, wake the guards The deal with death has run its course The silence of the bleakest nights Is broken with the screams of guilty men” In pursuit of light we have found nothing but darkness In pursuit of light we have found nothing In pursuit of light we have found nothing but darkness In pursuit of light, the shades of its colors reveal us Has this ever been more Has this ever been more Has this ever been more Has this ever been Has this ever been more than an alibi for the expansion of an empire? The jury's reached a verdict We're guilty of our crimes Ropes from the gallows swing It seems to call my name: “Heathens Liars!” “Heathens Liars!” “Heathens Liars!” “Heathens Liars!” As my vision starts to dim like a flame with no oxygen It becomes clear to me this disease will be my end!

"Behold, the Devil stands before us; but she answers to God this day Be not taken by her child-like innocence, it is evil coursing through her unholy veins It is for heresy and your sins on this commune that you burn today (And for eternity evermore!) May the Lord have mercy on your soul (For we shall have none!) It is for heresy on this commune that you burn today- speak up! What does the witch have to say for herself?" "If today I am to meet my end, then I hope a willing ear you'll lend Ask yourselves: How could I single-handedly accomplish all this treachery? There's one among us who's not what he claims to be; He's judge and jury, and orchestrator of this entire conspiracy-" "Lies, filthy lies! Lucifer's tongue indeed! The prince of deceit you couldn't possibly believe-" "Yes, I was the one who wrapped children in crimson But, he was the one who brought pestilence upon us all When his swarms and locusts came, not a single seed was spared Even the skies now forsake us to dust See now, a leader once fearless Petrified in silence by his guilt The blade honed of all our deception has cut out his tongue And left it at the altar of the beast... (I laugh in the face of damnation 'Cause what you call Hell, I call home I laugh in the face of damnation 'Cause what you call Hell, I call home I laugh in the face of damnation 'Cause what you call Hell, I call home I laugh in the face of damnation 'Cause what you call Hell, I call my home)" "Behold, the Devil lives within us; in a virtuous mask he doth hide If my soul is to be cleansed in flame, I only ask to witness this tempter's demise." And as the flames grew, so too did the magistrate's scream The village was lost in a shroud of silence, with nothing left but a conscience to set free Some say, an ember scorched the ropes that released her upon the town But all we know is 300 souls were fed to the storm of their Pariah's Vow: "(Your God gives blood to drink)" She said, "Your God gives blood to drink- Your God gives you blood to drink (Your God gives blood to drink) Upon these smoldering ruins, amidst their tortured howls (Your God gives blood to drink) Your God gives blood to drink- your God gives you blood to drink (Your God gives blood to drink) For every face forgotten, trampled under certainty's need, your God gives blood to drink- your God gives you blood to drink There is no hope in faith where man's destroyed to be faithful, your God gives blood to drink- your God gives you blood to drink..."
