I’ve seen the graves
Beyond the abyss
Marking the grounds
In the burial mist
Caged within them
The promise now lost
The price of devotion to the cross
Slaves to a lie
And slaves to the dream
Immortal creations
Of desolate creeds
Sinister shadows
Beneath the moonbeams
Servants of the cemetery
[chorus]
Fruitless we are
When they call
For gateways of old
We now yearn
Idle the screams
From their halls
Because even the gods will
Pay homage to lull
The creators
They’ve got a
Lesson to learn
Darkness befalls
The invaders
Because even the gods will
Burn all your life
Burn like an effigy
Endless reminders
Of futility
The riches we reap
And the penance we sew
Will leave us in the dirt so cold
Conviction in faith
Is silent in d**h
Dragged away from the flame
Dragged away from your breath
The veil that once draped
All the grandeur you know
Slowly melts away from you
