Father, I know that you've witnessed a darkness in me
'Twas spawned in shadows of the old gallow's tree
I'm but a sad, depraved reflection of our inhumanity
The warped exaggeration of the lost and darkest of dreams
Bring forth a wrath of cleansing fire
Here now in mankind's bleakest hour
Born of the casket, I'm the heir to a corpse
I've eyes that see maggots through the thin flesh they bore
I shall bloody my hands 'til the last breath be torn from me
So blindly we walk the winds of these plagued streets
Dead, the once-feeling part of me
O lord divine, please break this silence
Destroy your race of faceless liars
At the edge of existence
We the clays of intention have ripened in your image
Ah, the binds of tradition
Your archaic deception numbs our empty beings
City that sleeps on a million graves
In a world full of hatred, to fear enslaved
Countless, the dead slaughtered in your name
Not an utter of your voice have you once repaid
'Twas spawned in shadows of the old gallow's tree
