Awaken to this world full of sorrow and pain
All those bound by deceit can start to finally speak
The look says "you will be just like us one day"
Paying for all the debts I never thought would be made
A ghost of thought in the sentiments of fate
A thousand hearts, a thousand paths to loss
The struggle for your remembrance
A prosperous road that leads nowhere but to death
We are just a different face
Holding the exact same fucking page
Oh lord forgive our sins and this holocaust within
Pull heaven to the ground with this deceit all around
More bones we laid to rest, with the dreams that you possessed
Disassembled again, and remake the skeleton
Crashing words on my ears show they learned what I fear
We're both one and the same, this vow I broke in plain
Old lessons now lost their grace
Set ablaze by stagnant faith
Your guidance in my ear
You will soon disappear
Withered all away (By your hate)
Known by your expiration date
The last selection (The culling)
Left you forgotten and rotting
Look upon the stars every night
They all fall beneath those bright eyes
More phantoms sustained every day
By those with nothing more to take
The portraits of perdition, will show
The truth of what you have always known
The shrine will reveal all of the truths
Your porcelain god lost in his youth
Continue to be a victim of time
Until the moment when nothing will begin
Remember this world full of sorrow and pain
All those bound by deceit, could never really speak
Old lessons now lost their grace
Set ablaze by stagnant faith
Once again
Oh lord forgive our sins
And this holocaust within ourselves
Lost in the loss of someone’s life
Was it you or another’s strife?
Every diamond found in the rough
Always becomes ground into dust
Bleach out all that made you unique
Cursing your gifts and leaves all bleak
