Maw Of Time - Khemmis

Burn the pyre to our daughters' pain

In the fire there can be no eulogy

Swine and sickness, shrouded in disgrace

Ordained sinners preying on her memory

Cast out of Eden

Her flesh a sacrament

Corrupt, enshrine

Upon an altar of her bones

Confess, betray

The sky is burning red

Renounce, decay

We lie beneath the stones

Salvation’s but the gilded door of the abattoir

One by one, all will bleed for her

Our legacy, a world reduced to ash

Souls of black

Barren, diseased

Hide behind the mask

Hunt the vultures

Bring them to their knees

Bind and gag them, waiting for their fall from grace

In the darkness, tear the mask away

Hollow rulers trading their power for decay

Cast out of Eden

Her flesh a sacrament

Corrupt, enshrine

Upon an altar of her bones

Confess, betray

The sky is burning red

Renounce, decay

We drain the chalice

(We) We are the echoes of loss

(Are) In the absence of light

(Dust) Wrought of corruption, unworthy of redemption

(Shadow) Tombstones, an endless grave

Fragments of root and bone

Time becomes our tomb

We are destined to rot eternal

Consumed by a world forsaken

We will not be mourned
