Sylosis - To Build A Tomb lyrics

Watch as the banks break Flooding the land into The earth‘s heart Fear creeps in The stones are set with Blood and lust And the shadows bring what Your despise They move like snakes entwining Ulcers within War of words Spoken in handshakes Behind locked doors Tongues that twist and bend Dragging us all to our end And the skies turn black And the poison seeds don‘t grow With riches they line Their pockets Yet unpick the seams again Brick by brick You‘re closing yourself in To build upon blood and sand Is to build a tomb The candles burn The snake has spoken Watch as they rise through The cracks Eyes widen as the iris turns black Face the beckoning The winds of change are a myth The meek shall inherit the earth When their bodies are set adrift Sever the roots That run deep and feed Crown of thorns for Your majesty Failed Mortal Thwarted King To build on blood and sand Is to build a tomb
