Down We Fell

Something wretched lurks within the heart
In the hearts of every man
In his core resides a spectre of this vilainy
Statesmen, scholars, judges and priests
On the other side are monsters, rapists, liars and theives
Too many stains on history
Slave masters and architects of murder and genocide
The rancid fruits of fell endeavour, when proclivities go unchecked

Angels scream and wail, should are set to fail
Through infernal gates and flames that won't abate
Poet I entreat, by the name of god
That you have never known, help me to escape

You're chasing demons from my world
You're chasing demons from my world but I'm hurting you
I'm hurting you
Like you're hurting me

As we cross the precipice I turn my eyes towards the vale
A vision of a fractured sky from where the angels fell
And this scorched earth on which we pace
Will be our final resting place, the ashes swirling on the wind
A tremor from the deep

Ashes on the wind
Tremor from the deep
Scored above the breath

You're chasing darkness from my world but I'm killing you
I'm killing you, like you're killing me
You're chasing darkness from my world but I'm destroying you
I'm destroying you, like you're destroying me

And as the long shadows turn day into night
I entered my chamber beneath the moonlight
Lying in slumber so peaceful at rest
They unsheathed their blades and struck deep at my chest

And down we fell
Through infernal gates
Forever ablaze
And down we fell

And as the long shadows turn day into night
I entered my chamber beneath the moonlight
Lying in slumber so peaceful at rest
They unsheathed their blades and they sent me to rest

As we cross the precipice
I turn my eyes towards the vale
A vision of a fractured sky
From where the angels fell
And this scorched earth on which we pace
Will be our final resting place
The ashes swirling on the wind
A tremor from the deep
