Blood soaking in the cracks to fertilize the desert Crimson sand sticking to my mind Veins are empty squeezing out the final drops of sacrifice A sombre gift to the masters of our space and time Bonded to the carnage Faces carved and rent with fear Must survive this sacrificial new world ordained in blood Or die We travelled half a world away To bring no swift or no subtle death to the innocent To claim the prize or just a piece of the divine offering Handed down from the heights of the deepest ones, hidden undefined Body's not my own Hand without control This heart is close to freezing Learn to see the cost of divinity That a soul is impossible to purchase Hold on to your hope and humanity All that's left before vultures come to feast on all Bonded to the carnage Faces lined and red with fear Must survive this sacrificial new world crusade Although my eyes are open wide the dark is all I see now AS silence fills the emptiness inside Replacing all desire that was left of me
