lyrics

There is no eternal
Nothing exists beyond this point
I am your hope
I am your salvation
You will seek guidance in me
You need me
I am your hope
I am your salvation
You need me

Abrupt ascension from the star
The scriptures pointing torn and scarred
Ink runs dry from the sacred lamb
The corpse; defiled, dead and marred

Prophecies have foretold
That as the moon eclipsed the sun
Slipping from the faith now cold
The burning cards have been played

Now
It's time to fold

No
What have you done?
Nowhere left to run
Preaching downward to the sun
Stare down the barrel of this gun

Fading away from me
Burning bright to be set free
Falsified intelligence of my pride
While preaching hopes to the marinated swine

Incinerate initiate
Illustrious incarnate
Rituals of eras gone
Shot right down into the sun

Burning bright; the flesh dissolves
Cognitive overdrive has been called
Defaced the structures of the mold
The flames burned bright; so dead and cold

Fading away from me
Burning bright to be set free
Falsified intelligence of my pride
While preaching hopes to the marinated swine
Fading away from me
Burning bright to be set free
Falsified intelligence of my pride
While preaching hopes to the marinated swine

I am your breaking point
Forged from this mortal shell
Defiled barren to the bone
Neglected preachings to the throne

Fading away from me
Burning bright to be set free
Falsified intelligence of my pride
While preaching hopes to the marinated swine
Fading away from me
Burning bright to be set free
Falsified intelligence of my pride
While preaching hopes to the marinated swine
