Six feet underneath the surface lies a corpse reanimated Pushing upward to reemerge and free itself from its cage Breaking ground, it reaches out and grabs the nearest soul unseen Drawing life from the nether world and a facade from unknown dreams The manor which it seeks Lies not too far ahead Home Returning from death Back to reclaim all That was lost long ago A king retreating to his hall Returning from death Back to reclaim all That was lost long ago A king retreating to his hall Self-exhumation Returning from death To seek that which was lost The treasures recovered from a bygone time I now reclaim what was mine The exodus now comes to a halt and arrives at the run-down house Sights of years of constant neglect as the king had been cast out Appalled at what it sees A rotting blasphemy Gone Returning from death Back to reclaim all That was lost long ago A king retreating to his hall Returning from death Back to reclaim all That was lost long ago A king retreating to his hall

Deep in the caves of eternal shame A lost soul lies here in the wake Voices calling, like wolves, they howl Into the night from whence they came Predators looking for their next fix A classified crusade The ire reigns from the highest peaks Witness its rule across the charade This is the calm before the storm Without hesitation, the swords are clashing The guns are blazing ahead A crushing formation, the wounds are gashing A field made from the dead In this realm of my home, I call back to past times Where peace was killed by dread The endless fighting is ravaging millions Who don't choose where they rest This is the calm before the storm The visions stay in my head I see as if it's real Snapping out, in my eyes it's there Under the full moon Reaching further into the depths We hear the voice that screams from within Inside we witness the abomination The catalyst for all destruction Crack it open, dissect the nation Inquiring has been complete The king will fall and a new lord steps in The savior of all the sheep In all of the carnage, no one can stop it The gods look down and they laugh Not one soul wasted, just pawns for our deeds Like moths they fly toward the flame More fuel for fire, a great catastrophe Distract them from the corrupt Take them out now, one by one Watch the empire erupt The visions stay in my head I see as if it's real Snapping out, in my eyes it's there Under the full moon This is the calm before the storm

Carved a path to our destruction Sinking time bomb, end all life Drop a warhead on humanity Just enough to end it all Controlling and harboring deceit Disproportionate killing and greed Mass hysteria the everyday Watch as the world burns and screams Just watch as you die Once the codes have all been set The slaves stand in line as they all cave in to the storm Bring them together to vanquish A new mass grave, disease reborn Just watch as you die

The voices beckon from an unknown source A sea of shallow emptiness And once again I'm calling back to my home For physical form dares to repress This flesh and blood carries me, but to where I'll never know if there's no point Wondering how I could be saved I won't be the one to disappoint Rise above and sink below Drifting from the undertow This amount of hatred lay Inside the cortex, so they say Buried in the dust (the sword I plunge inside me) I've become what I abhor Lost in time, eroded (no one could save me) I accept my fate The end of the light draws closer yet It feels as if there's nothing left But who am I to judge anything If I can't be, then what will come To sentence oneself to their death Is oddly blissful, I'll admit I will let the dust lay over me While I welcome myself to my new home Rise above and sink below Drifting from the undertow This amount of hatred lay Inside the cortex, so they say Buried in the dust (the sword I plunge inside me) I've become what I abhor Lost in time, eroded (no one could save me) I accept my fate
