Loathe this bitter place, this monolith of decadence Reluctant witness to the greatest sins of man Alone amongst the stirring souls, defiantly gripping gold Victim to the predication of this sickened seed Contrived existence Nothing left to see but the decay wrought in the wake of progress Sifting through the evidence of what was left behind I know no hubris or sense of mission I heal my scars with time Contrived existence Contrived existence I will deny Long live your legacy of glory, king of disdain As empires crumble I stand unfaltering This temple, bound by silence Historian of failure Transcend the construct of timestream and consciousness Beyond the island of light, rise Loathe this place what has become of paradise, what once was one Thrown away, torn apart, return to me I will reclaim This temple, bound by silence Historian of failure Transcend the construct of timestream and consciousness Beyond the island of light, rise The water paces with fury and discontent Become the ocean of life, rise This tempest breeze is intoxicating The writhing seas twist in agony Death is this horizon I offer you My vacuous offspring of malcontent Now witness the end of this abomination The epilogue to an autonomous thought As tragedy takes the hand of lamentation The billowing waves envelope the sun Through this darkness there will be light My love knows no end This song I sing of filicide Shall be thy lullaby Now sleep, forever
