We seek only release from this mortal infection
That has turned my flesh to ash, now reduce me to nothing but bones
How we beg for release from these mortal cages
That have held us back for so long and bound me to this world
I dream of days, now long forgotten
When we roamed free through this corrupt creation
Now that the canvas is empty and blank, our fates unwritten
Tonight we will be kings and reign for evermore
Cast into the storm my thoughts now focus on vengeance
I have accepted the serpent of old into my heart
Now as my body fades, I'm left with nothing but memories of pain
But to me this life is worthless and filled with suffering
I will be the martyr of the new age that bring your crimes light
Commit genocide to wipe out the tenets of an old religion
Freedom, faith and truth is everything your god despised
You put your faith in false prophecies for fear of this night
Now you say its the truth, for it was written
I could show you the truth, it lies right before your eyes
I dream of days, now long forgotten
When we roamed free through this corrupt creation
Now that the canvas is empty and blank, our fates unwritten
Tonight we will be kings and reign for evermore
