Brought forth in apathy A flesh embedded innocence To beg forgiveness at the altar; Victim left untold Probationary litigation, condemned for wrongful deed Sentence so prodigious, for which I cannot plea A shadow follows me as I take my final steps I try to reach oblivion before I'm put to rest The nature of sorrow yet to be exposed Torture based on my beliefs, I walk into unknown Black, death, the crow released The lucid calling of my suffering I cry for help but the noise locks out My fate at his fingers, my mouth sewn shut ♪ I've lived my life, swearing to no other. Carved myself through the test of time, no purpose for a father. No crutch to be believed in. This wake in sanity, I realize, so bastardized, is all I ever needed Lay waste upon the king This cursed betrayal unlawfully transposed A broken, an empty, deceitful vow ♪ Won't bow down to the king that never was Death brings me to my knees ♪ Pray to false prophets in these times of need Lies turn to filth and dirt My hollow sin eating the rest of me A devious harbinger for an assemblage of fools Death brings me to my knees Pray to false prophets in these times of need Bleakness encircles my existence I bestow in blasphemy as he approaches Devour me as I fall to my knees Incapacitated for my wrongful, my wrongful deeds Apathy spreading like disease Black, death, the crow released The lucid calling of my suffering I cry for help but the noise locks out My fate at his fingers, my mouth sewn shut
