Burial Within


They walk the earth among the mortals 
The lords of all creation,
their healing hands promise redemption for our transgressions 
Shunned, the outcasts who disbelieve 
From their secret palaces, ethereal and serene 
Painted with the blood of Christ, built on the backs of the deceived 
Bought with the sins of humanity 

The troops mass at the golden gates 
At war with an antichrist to reach a fabled afterlife 
Seperatists with weaponized faith on the path to dominate 
Hate-filled are their diatribes to stir the rage they feel inside 
Onward Christian soldiers, march the darkened path to righteousness 

Sociopaths with unchecked ambition on a crusade to indoctrinate 
With twisted words devoid of meaning,
with one truth to sustain a myriad lies 

Cathedral bells ring to welcome the conquering kings 
Blurring the line between artifice and reality 
They walk the earth alone 
The lords of nothing 
Their withered hands promise deception and damnation
