The Seventh Gate (The 7th Gate) - The Rubble of Glory lyrics

rate me

handing out handjobs and fingerfucks

to the poor

traces of incest that appease the masses

hints of abortion

linger in the smoke

that emits from the rubble of glory

a passionless murder is whispered

just as silence has once chilled our streets

children weep heavily

awaiting the apocalypse

i once shared a vision with a holy man

we danced in house of God

sharing silence

we watched the last fire

fizzle out to nothingness

i await the last drop of hope

but my cries cannot be heard

over the famine and the filth and the wreckage

as the world as we once knew it collides

with the wars of God and demon

hate and love

death and life

sounds of thousands marching to the graves

stenches of vomit and emaciated lives combine

causing my nostrils to flare

and my heart to race

is there no escape from this wretched place?

is there no escape from this wretched place?

is there no escape from this wretched place?
