A Serenade For Eternity

The plague sweeps across the land As millions fall to its hidden hand Weak, frail corpses as far as the eye can see Invisible, unconquerable, insatiable enemy Death comes for us all Even the strongest will fall The ignorant will beg and plead The arrogant will stand and bleed The true calamity unfolds in time A plague of fools to which we give rise Those who seek to sow discontent and hate Tear apart the fabric of all we've built in vain. Death comes for us all Even the strongest will fall The ignorant will beg and plead The arrogant will stand and bleed The judgement of the gods This is what we have wrought The Great Reset is here We face it without fear The ignorant are lost The cost of all their thought Weep not for those who hate We revel in their pain.

Born in the dark and the frozen wastelands Forged by the winter's bitter, cold hands Molded by the winds that howl through the trees I am one with the earth, and I will die by its creed I have risen and I will fall in this world of blinding snow I have lived and I will die in this place that I call home I will bend but I won't break; this is how we all survive But when the forest bleeds, it drains us all of life. Whispers in the night Pray we end this fight The outsiders arrive Leave not one alive. The last bastion of hope for a frail, dying place An existential threat with no true face A horde of destruction, no honor amongst thieves The end of all we know scattered amongst the fallen leaves Whispers in the night Pray we end this fight The outsiders arrive Leave not one alive. Leave not one alive; This is the final fight.

Erase this stain on all humanity Your "faith" is a plague that rots our sanity The shame in the name of your imaginary deity The ways you claim that we all deserve to bleed I will not give in to spiritual greed I will not give credence to your hypocrisy Your god breeds only hatred and destruction in his path I will not cower in fear of imaginary wrath You pray on the innocent and unsuspecting minds Your faith is an abomination that corrupts all mankind Your ways, a manipulation....a means to your end While you poison our existence with all your false pretense Die, Die Wipe your dogma from our minds Die, Die Erase your hatred from our lives Die, Die No misguided fool survives Die, Die Erase this arrogance for all time.

Breath into me Tell me what you see I am the mountain; I am the sea I am the sunlight that you want to see I am the snow falling gently through the trees I am the scent of the forest on the breeze I am the will; I am the way I am the whispers of the spirits you claim I am the truth, but I am deceit Now you're all mine to with as I please Breath into me Tell me what you see Give yourself to me I will set you free I am the devil you seek I am the promise; I am the prize I am the one who gave you new sight I am the arbiter of all your desires I am the one on your funeral pyres I am the will; I am the way I am the whispers of the spirits you claim I am the truth, but you've been deceived You belong to me for all eternity

We hold the world in our hands We are the pinnacle of man Witness all these modern marvels The hope we have for our tomorrow Then we burn it all down Self-destruction all around Then we burn it all down, Buried six feet underground. Burn We had the whole world at our feet We had the power and invincibility We had the will, we had the means But then we crushed our hopes and dreams Then we burn it all down Self-destruction all around Then we burn it all down, Buried six feet underground. We die by our own hand We let these plagues sweep across our land We fall by our own demands Selfish greed and arrogance lays waste to all our plans.

Soak me in the darkness; absolve me of this stain Erase the cold, bleak misery that haunts us all the same. As I walk the path of eternity on the hallowed ground I claim In the end, it's all for nothing...the struggle drives us all insane. Wake me from this neverending dream Save me from the cruel, cold life I lead Begin the awakening of the spirits I've cast aside Ignite the hate in me, let it swell with the rising tides And be cast aside We will cast aside. Soak me in the darkness, let me revel in the weary skies As we walk this path of misery We'll be cast aside in time.

Heed the call of time; We are all destined to die. Rise; take back your lives. I am the arbiter of all that you see; I am the face of the fate that you seek. Out of control These are the seeds that we've sown The only way out is to bleed These are the lives we lead Only the strong survive In a world where chaos thrives But in the end we are lost For this is what chaos has wrought. How far can we go Before it strips our souls How long can we bleed Before we beg and plead Our strength is torn away Our minds are driven insane Here and now we are lost For this is what chaos has wrought.
