Lirieke: Agony Scene (The). The Darkest Red. Sacrifice.

we die one thousand deaths
they held us close to taste the flames
a sacrifice
to pacify the gods they've made

the stench of stagnant blood
collects in pools of misery
they drained from us and stained
themselves in blasphemy

we are the sacrifice
your tainted offering
we are the sacrifice
now you will share our suffering

we steal a final breath

a tattered veil averts our eyes
from their hypocrisy
their cruel intent hidden by lies
the silence lingering
like the condemed waiting to die
in darkest red
reflecting black beneath the light

(repeat chorus)

in the eyes of our father
from the tears of our mother
IN THE EYES OF YOUR FATHER
FROM THE TEARS OF YOUR MOTHER
IN THE EYES OF YOUR FATHER
FROM THE TEARS OF YOUR MOTHER'S SHAME
SHAME!

(repeat chorus)
