lyrics

Of gold and light, crystals and jewels
The father’s of christ, the king of fools
Tarnished, it fades. Shimmer to black
Gems lost their luster. Foundation cracked

As nations crumble. God’s turned away
Death and destruction lie in his wake
As always written, man destroys man.
In the name of god. The divine plan
So to what end do we persist?
Extermination of the religious?
The loss of life? Perhaps the answer.
The path to peace. Rid of the cancer.

Now that the light has left and metal’s become stone
Mankind shall hold the burden and assume the vacant throne

Tormented populace begging for relief
They must be washed of faith or suffer for their beliefs

Mark of the coward. To abandon those –
That had been faithful. Even in death throes.
Passing for nothing. Entering the void
Into the abyss. Hope is destroyed
So we must ask, with nothing to blame –
But yourself. Would the results be the same?
Now that the light’s left us all alone
Mankind will hold. The vacant throne.
