The Black Dahlia Murder - Necropolis lyrics

rate me

Father I know that you've witnessed a darkness in me<br />

Twas spawned in shadows of the old gallow's tree<br />

I'm but a sad depraved reflection of our inhumanity<br />

The warped exaggeration of the lost and darkest of dreams<br />

<br />

Bring forth a wrath of cleansing fire<br />

Here now in mankind's bleakest hour<br />

<br />

Born of a casket I'm the heir to a corpse<br />

I've eyes that see maggots through the thin flesh they bore<br />

I shall bloody my hands til the last breath be torn from me<br />

So blindly we walk the winds of these plaged streets<br />

Dead the once feeling part of me<br />

<br />

O lord divine please break this silence<br />

Destroy your race of faceless liars<br />

<br />

At the edge of existence<br />

We the clays of intention have ripened in your image<br />

Ah the binds of tradition<br />

Your archaic deception numbs our empty beings<br />

City that stands on a million graves<br />

In a world full of hatred to fear enslaved<br />

Countless the dead slaughtered in your name<br />

Not a utter of your voice have you once repaid<br />

<br />

No above no below just a man letting go<br />

When all my earthly desire is disowned<br />

No screaming sirens should sound<br />

No revelations profound<br />

Simply lowered into the ground<br />

That's just what I'll be dead in the dirt<br />

So blindly we walk the winds of these plagued streets<br />

Dead the once feeling park of me<br />

<br />

Bring forth a wrath of cleansing fire<br />

Here now in mankinds bleakest hour<br />

O lord divine please break this silence<br />

Destroy your race of faceless liars<br />

Necropolis
