lyrics

OH LORD, HAVE I SEEN THE WORLD BURN.
I BEG FOR FORGIVENESS BUT YOU GIVE ME THE SCOURGE.
ALL MY LIFE, I OUGHT TO BE LIKE YOU.
BUT CASTED DOWN WITH THE WORMS I'M BOUND TO STIR.

STRUCK DOWN BY YOUR WRATH.
I'M ENSLAVED BY MY SHAME.
WITH THE WORMS I WILL PINE.
AND BY MY INCONGRUOUS SELF HATE, I'VE LOST FAITH IN MY KIND.

OH LORD, HAVE I SEEN THE WORLD BURN.
I BEG FOR FORGIVENESS BUT YOU GIVE ME THE SCOURGE.
ALL MY LIFE, I OUGHT TO BE LIKE YOU.
BUT CASTED DOWN WITH THE WORMS I'M BOUND TO STIR

LET THE DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT TURN YOU BLIND.
LET THE SHACKLES OF THE BLIGHT CONSUME YOUR WEAK MIND.
I'VE LOST FAITH IN MY KIND.

THROUGH THE DARKEST HOURS OF THE DARKEST DAYS.
I’VE SOUGHT REPENTANCE.
REGRETS AND MEMORIES TEARING A HOLE IN MY HEART.
BODY AND SOUL BAPTIZED IN LIES, LIKE A LIGHT THAT DIES IN THE NIGHT,
I’VE LOST FAITH IN MY KIND.

I THINK I NEVER REALLY GOT YOUR LOVE, BUT YOU GAVE ME YOUR WORD.
AND IN YOUR NAME I WILL CLEANSE THIS WORLD.
AND IN YOUR NAME I WILL CLEANSE THIS WORLD.

THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO BUT I CANNOT FORGIVE.
THE DEATH OF TRUE LOVE, THE DARKNESS DESCENTS.
