Sanctification Denied

Oh, hear the cries of rupture

When all grief and tears spawn

As lava flows from the chasms

Not in sight of absolution

Forgive thee not, never

A suffering as strength to rise from the ruins

Is to lament in atonement

Penance in the face of the damned

Denounce what's deep inside

To be void in the eyes of many

Countless eyes piercing through

And yet, still no one knows

This knowledge festers deep

Stand up to only exist

Forced down to broken knees

And the heart is raped once more

Grief and tears

Tears that burn

Thee is at fault of it all

The reason hope is abandoned

You, the right hand of none

Therefore the sinner extreme

Forgive thee not, never

Banished, unwanted, unsought

Your path to enlightenment

Crushed and forever torn

Sanctification denied

Sanctification denied

Sanctification denied (Yeah)

Sanctification denied

Sanctification denied

Sanctification denied

As the soul subsides
