Whitethorn ordained Applause from the masses A trite execution To placade and please Obscured by the light Suffuse for the sake While they dance on the grave Amassed and acclaimed Bound for lands end Destined for the gallows Down the road most travelled From sterling to death The demons command A life most desired In envy they conspire For vengeance is stealth No need for sight No need for mourning No need for sound No need for mourning Wither and lithe, recognise the last defeat Farewell to arms, shoulder no more, rest in peace A judgement severe, dissolve and adhere, the grand retreat Wither and lithe, simonize the bomb. The darkness devours In it's own silent way In fathoms of decay Lesser the beast The dray horse resigns As they watch from a distance Without face or resistance Heed the command Dragged to the steps Put forth for example Bludgeoned and battled A Satyrs despair A Slight of the hand And all is forgotten Thrush spirits left haunted Tidings at bay No need for sight No need for mourning No need for sound No need for mourning Wither and lithe, recognise the last defeat Farewell to arms, shoulder no more, rest in peace A judgement severe, dissolve and adhere, the grand retreat Wither and lithe, simonize the bomb. Goodbye to the century Farewell to amnesty Christen the sons and daughter Let it lie Let it bleed Goodbye to the century Farewell to amnesty Christen my sons and daughter Let it lie Let it bleed Let it lie Let it bleed
