lyrics

Betrayed by the sun
Cast aside under aphotic skies
Purged by the fires, Divine
Baptized, by fountains of iron design
Molded by hands of decrepit decay

We pray to the ground below
Bemoaned, it opens it’s throat
Sated by the taste of blood
Sacrificial rats, cannibalize
Upon altars bemired

Writhing in squalor, the festering wound
Of corruption exudes it’s consequence
Entrenched in in the bowels of death

Adorned in gold, they stand
Accusers of man
Demand the troves of our decay
Feasting upon the youth,
Fruit from the graves they were born to lay

Surrendered to the shrine of our demise
The shadow of life fades
Rays of the frozen sun
Expose the abyss of their nature
We worship our graves

We the occult,
Shunned from gods embrace
Those we once worshipped
We now deface
To the earth we are slaves

Consecrated in death
Devoured by time
Congealed by disgust
Molded by decay
We worship our graves

Betrayed by the sun
Cast aside under aphotic skies
Purged by the fires, Divine
Baptized, by fountains of iron design
We pray to the ground below
Bemoaned it opens its throat
Sated by the taste of blood
Sacrificial rats cannibalize

Surrendered to the shrine of our demise
The shadow of life fades
Rays of the frozen sun
Expose the abyss of their nature
To the earth we are slaves

Consecrated in death
Devoured by time
Congealed by disgust
Molded by decay
We worship our graves
