Ares Kingdom - Beasts That Perish lyrics

rate me

Say the words, speak the tongues<br />

Sing the songs of fools<br />

Shall the means destroy the ends?<br />

So vain is Man (the hand that wounds and heals)<br />

Morality of these masters is that of the slaves<br />

Leaving the rebuke of the wise echoing into eternity<br />

Into the abyss - after them<br />

<br />

Lunatic fringe sings the songs of fools<br />

About the far side of glory<br />

Celebrating life-wasting chaos<br />

And so become the beasts that perish<br />

<br />

Darkness in flesh, depravity personified<br />

Slit eyes, forked tongues and venomous words<br />

Strike at a world they pretend to understand<br />

Illusions of superiority and enlightenment<br />

Pride in aberration a justification by faith<br />

Lies! Writhing on a throne of self-conceit<br />

Words that fit like sackcloth<br />

Last gasp of reason as it's lungs fill with gas<br />

Frothing, filth and agony awaits to purge<br />

<br />

Towers of Sodoms skyline<br />

Silhouette the blood red dawn<br />

Sin as far as the eye can see<br />

Cloven hooves of the flock<br />

Clatter among the serpents<br />

Wriggling in the dust<br />

Hearts of darkness<br />

Slouching to oblivion<br />

Temptation, gratification<br />

Let them burn<br />

<br />

Luminous beings that can die but once<br />

Covered by monuments (not mountains)<br />

Refusing to live in fear (or shadows)<br />

Revel and glory in the struggle<br />

Learning not to flinch<br />

Grateful for the gift that causes such fear<br />

<br />

Cautionary tales passed generation to generation<br />

Anticipate sepultures of the beasts that perish<br />

Those that prey on the weak<br />

Handwritten epitaphs by the already dead<br />

Though the faces change, their name remains the same<br />

<br />

Supplication<br />

What I want<br />

What I should have<br />

What should not be questioned<br />

What is more than me?<br />

<br />

Resolution<br />

What I know<br />

What was once so clear<br />

What simply was not<br />

What should but cannot be<br />

What price their weakness demands of the world<br />

<br />

Purge the beasts that perish
