The Calm Before the Flood

Dream,

The more often you crawl

The hate you inspired arousing desire

A call to awake for the ones who won't listen

Dream,

Dim the light on your soul

Beneath every surface you encourage the farces

What use in the prophecy they had given?

(Grieve them, Leave them, and redeem them)

Words of wisdom twisted and burnt (by cowards)

Pillaging the very essence we've earned (devoured)

Facing no consequences, learning no morals

Igniting new pestilences transferred so oral

Celebrating the dawn of an eon

By the sins we disdain just days ago

If treachery been written then treachery won

In the enlightening we though that we saw

Treacherous, infamous,

Try to raise the worst of us

Empty words, empty souls

Filling faith within them all

Whisper his name when you wake

From the dreams the sinners bled

The martyrs of art bled life in a storm

Crawling toward the path ahead

Holiness is now automat

Melting down the ornaments

Drink the joy, the wine of god

Does the storm still rage inside?

All false love now overcome

Beating me, leave me numb

Seasons turn so violent

You deserve none but true forgiveness

Bleed,

As I bled eons ago

The claws of the jealous reaping the velvets

Their fate is so hard to (be) ignored

Bleed,

After you chew on our soul

Salvation sees through all even though

Ararat collapsing by the choirs of war
