lyrics

"In the Diction of War"

Destroyed.
What a day for the dead to come to life,
And the people
Seethe sealing their war's pleat in a night.
What a way for defeat to breach the dyke,
Seemingly a light
Waiting for dark to denounce its might.

Sick screams sing wicked in the silence.
The dawn creeps with respect for those who died.
I don't need my gentle nation's pride
Since I've only got one reason left to fight.

I killed the former queen of rage
(We killed the former queen of rage)
To wade their lovers through their blood and
To their darkest days.
(Through blood and to their darkest days)
Alive to see the dirt at our feet is only good for graves.
(Alive the dirt affords your graves)

Lord I'm calling for help; this darkness.
Let me go forth with no blame;
Let me go.

Rain down with your praise.
God, it's a great life shooting 'em down.
Trust in my
Aim. stop pulling the lines and give me some space,
And I'll twist my love to fit the rage I need to concentrate.

What made you say today's the day?
You'd cross that line to defend your vanity?
You never earned your splendor anyways,
So you flinch to sanity, the uncommon gene.
Lost your soul but the skin still recedes.

We're a gate in this war.
(Just a light in the swarm)
Some kindling to feed a spark.
(Meant to splinter the dark)
Now I see the world complete in form
to greet the pure of heart.
(Feed the pyre that warms my heart)

What a day
To trample on your shit soiree,
With no lenity.
You can't surrender in the games we play.

Go.
Runaway from your feet.
Scared of hiding at home;
Scared of me.
No more pleas.
Now you stand on your own;
Left to die in the spree.
This morbid show,
This crimson loam.
Now rapine.
