Trying Times 04:30
Death and reprisal We put our god on trial For a murder so vile It defies all understanding Such are the ways of men I couldn't do a goddamn thing As we watched you die Senseless destruction A young life interrupted A victim of corruption, bred by greed In this cold room we all stand and mourn A crowd of mutes come to sing our silent song We're all here to watch the dead perform An explosion of hysterics At your final curtain call If I could climb my way to heaven I know that I would hear him say "My brother I did not die for nothing I'm with you always" In the darkest of seasons I've searched for a reason A lesson learned in this life lost Another martyr to the frost Another brethren laid to rest Another debt repaid to death The final chapter doth now close In this anthology of woes Life of confusion A young man disillusioned The answer and the ending were the same Oftentimes I wonder why Things had to be this way Through the dark and the light We march on Through ashes of extinguished flame And I know you are gone So long I guess some things we cannot change Tread forth with your head held high (x2) Through the dark and the light In trying times, I'm with you always

Birthed of the darkness Born of the dead Oh, the rivers, they shall run red I found you steeped in your own blood Innocence lay dead and lifeless Lamentations of a love lost But I could never leave you So I call forth the great deceiver Oh Satan! Hear my call! And in the night I search the dark To find the blood to feed my queen My love Undead, reawakened by the beast Betrothed to death Eternally My valentine unhallowed Oh, dark prophet Return her from the gates of hell As I lay you down On this altar My paramour cloaked in sanguine serenity Imbued with necromantic life Unholy theogeny Ho, behold reanimation The demonic serum reignites your sutured form Injected of the essence Of a thousand darkly blessings In this vessel you are reborn Forever my undead confidante My virulent animus Quarter the carcass Cascading blood Atrocious murder my labor of love It's all for you Through this dark ritual The girl had escaped death Once again to walk the earth No heartbeat in her chest And this new life of sin It shall never end For when the sun sets she Must feed on flesh again I would give you everything My one true love

It's all come down to this Your crutch has become a burden Your sail has become an anchor This pasttime has become a dark possession Your last moments paralyzed by fear It's only a matter of time The final comedown The devil has found you Right where you rest your head And now you are lost with nowhere to run Nowhere to hide No second chance as you drift away Crushed, entombed This room is but a casket This divinely inspired death will be yours alone And from the depths, the beast shall rise We ride on the backs of the fallen We are the end It's only a matter of time In this final hour is the dying of the light Beckoned in by the siren's song This is Death's Design From the depths ride forth the horsemen We shall rise

Charge upon their barracks The onslaught of the phalanx Eternal carnage, so vividly ingrained Naught are the survivors Revelations homicidal Revel in the violence epic Drench the earth in the blood of your enemies Desolation is cursed upon He who begets the mass grave Long after the armistice Combat calls my name This thirst for death is satiated With every corpse left mutilated But the deceased oh how their eyes haunt me still Trample forth with fervent hostility Ares I am your servant I am overwhelmed with bliss as I watch the blood pour from your throat And your face turn blue I feel this darkness washing over me Soldier of the blood red moon These trenches are my hallowed ground Combat my endless waltz Cries for absolution The cadences to this song Militant formations masquerade On this death-laden promenade I can't just walk away, it's all I know The dogs of war are on the loose This thirst for carnage Born of war, internalized My Dark Compulsions grow No longer a soldier but, A killer indiscriminate This killing spree is now my war at home...
