lyrics

No love for God or gold
From barren lands, he comes
Banner high
Towering pride

Yet under a glimmering skin
Lies no heart of his own
In fact, lies nothing at all
But his repulsive impotence

Ghastly was indeed the knight...

Pillage and plunder this wasteland
Of your own making
Abounding in ruins
Defiling hopes long gone

And quiet are his steps now
His shallow waters dried out
Crawling on his scorched skin
Leaving behind the horrid stench of his intentions
The Sun has no mercy for larvae like him

For every unkept promise
Went a layer off his shell
Crowd gasping
Staring at the exposed faceless void

I listen to a lot of depressive and dark music, and I have to say this album hits hard. Very hard... kowaikage2
