lyrics

Humanity… They call us failure
We were born in the mouth of a beast
Follow the wolves’ teeth to their throats
Follow the maggots to their homes
No more thrones and no more gold to scour
We set blaze Pray, pray for rain
They’ve been put in their place, to wait for worms
It’s so dark in this place, they’ll all be lost forever
When the witches betray, and the food is dirt
When they finally believe, our words will fall on corpses
We’ve been eating these fleas, the soil we’ll salt
You must hark of your fate, and lay on your back till buried
Call for the sea to drown them
And for the wind to spread their disease
Choke on the stench of your sons and your daughters
Say not a word for your breath smells of peace
Humanity… they call us failure
We were born in the mouth of a beast
