lyrics

Lyrics by Lily Taylor

Into the dungeon
Deep in the dark
We worship our anger
We know it by heart

Fueled by our passion
Our anguish, our need
We wallow in sorrow
Fulfilled by our creed

The shadows our keeper
We saviors of old
Kept silent our vigil
No heroes seek gold

Murdered by madness
And buried enshrined
Our story forgotten
Once histories entwined

Hear our sorrow

Bleed and borrow

Break the silence

Run through the catacombs
Destruction in their wake
Through ancient halls and ancient walls
The cities they would take

The dead steal your nightmares
Stained by the sins of old
Wait for the call, wait for the fall
our history shows

Listen to their cries

Here we sit in silence
No breaths to take
Stolen by their heresy,
we’ll rot in their wake

Sworn by blood to guard her
The goddess’ song
The tide did turn, and we did burn,
eternally wronged

A fragment of a memory
Hidden dark and deep
Buried by a shameful pride,
encased in their keep

Tell it how you will
But now unveil the crypts
These piles of bones they hid in stone,
their innocence stripped

A bloody history of royals past
A tragedy from not so distant last
A truth disguised through crying eyes revealed
A horrid past behind these walls concealed

For fear of rebellion
For future remorse
They murdered our brothers
They saw no recourse

The city asunder
Our people now torn
Those blinded by reverence
Those buried by scorn

One champion now present
The rest in the dark
One sworn to the bloodline
Alone with their mark

Entombed in their Haven
Betrayed by their trust
Forgotten in darkness
Imprisoned to dusk

Hear our sorrow

Here they lie
Sent to die
Hear their cry
