Thrown to the Lions - Dew-Scented

Sighting in red, blood will flow incessantly

Mass entertainment, spectacle of suffering

Hail to cruelty, forever burdened with the guilt

In their dying hour, hear their splitting screams

Feeding frenzy, time won’t fill the emptiness

Left behind by all the souls departed

By the numbers, breaking under torture

Agony of mind, horror will reign through the centuries

Acts of the unnamable

Cutting off their tongues

Every nightmare brought to life

Hanging on the cross

Sighting in red, blood will flow incessantly

Mass entertainment, spectacle of suffering

Hail to cruelty, forever burdened with the guilt

In their dying hour, hear their splitting screams

Those in hope of salvation

Will be throwing the first stone

Cleanse the soul, be free from sin

Seeking comfort in another’s misery

Thrown to the lions

Carrion-feeding rush, in delirium

Thrown to the lions

Slaughter with no end, in delirium

As delusion is brief

Their barbaric remorse can’t remain

Falling prey to temptations

In a time when sadists lead the meek to the graves

Thrown to the lions

Thrown to the lions, but why?

Feeding frenzy, time won’t fill the emptiness

Left behind by all the souls departed

By the numbers, breaking under torture

Agony of mind, horror will reign through the centuries

Acts of the unnamable, cutting off their tongues

Every nightmare brought to life, hanging on the cross

Thrown to the lions

Thrown to the lions to die!
