lyrics

The System: 
A hatred and anger so pure  
you are the answer you are the cure 
awaken to my blade and feel its cold steel  
(your screams gives us strength your suffering we feel) 
These sacred markings we carve in your flesh 
(no time for mourning for this is the end)
 panic arises of being bound down  
our eyes unfaltering we don’t make a sound  
do not be frightened your time has run out 
you’ve lived your life but it is his now

  drink from this cup
 filled with your blood
 we offer up
 bring him to us  

awaken to my blade and feel its cold steel
 (your screams gives us strength your suffering we feel) 
These sacred markings we carve in your flesh 
(no time for mourning for this is the end) 

flames flicker the only light
 of our union darker than night
 the shadows stir and eyes blur
 as he comes into sight

you’ve just been living  
through you he’s risen
 the life you’ve given
 has brought upon the end
