After the Burial

The Forfeit

After the Burial


Every time your lips spill their poisonous words, they infect the ones you claimed to have cared for 
We are gored by your serrated ways 
We shed our faith, weve bled oceans for your cause 
We shed our faith in your atrocity 
Weve come to claim a thousand lives to live 
Open hands will shape what little time we have 
We exude our servitude to a lifetime of deceptive worship 
Righteous hands will rise, if only to redeem the city of the gods 
And in ourselves we trust 
A thousand fists will rain 
This mighty downpour will wash away 
There is new hope in every open eye 
Promise to ourselves that these words will never die 
We exude our servant hood to a lifetime of immoral worship 
Righteous hands will rise, if only to redeem the souls of the meek 
Burn your spores so your plague will not manifest in the hearts of the innocent 
And when the blackest day becomes forever grey, the ash will scatter of what has not remained 
The ashes have buried you
