Pestilence spreads through the heart of a foreign land
Extinguishing light with a silent hand
The virgin soil panted red
Erasing, consuming
All those encountered
Led to the slaughter
Violently torn from the last shroud of innocence
Punished by isolation
Sentenced to annihilation
The sun will rise, over a flourished continent
And set, amongst the ashes of the dead
And so our eyes, will never see
A world untouched by this modern disease
Transcribed in a light, much fairer than truth
Snatching tongues from the mouths
Until the rest have fallen mute
Circle round the fire
And pray to stop the fall
The island, not sit empty
The torches, have all been drowned
Within a lifetime, when all was lost
The memories undone
Laid bare, the casualties succumb
Having left what they could not take
A land of bone and clay
Now all that remains for us to claim
Curse the horizon
The waters and shore
The blood within
That marks our skin
Extinguishing light with a silent hand
The virgin soil panted red
Erasing, consuming
All those encountered
Led to the slaughter
Violently torn from the last shroud of innocence
Punished by isolation
Sentenced to annihilation
The sun will rise, over a flourished continent
And set, amongst the ashes of the dead
And so our eyes, will never see
A world untouched by this modern disease
Transcribed in a light, much fairer than truth
Snatching tongues from the mouths
Until the rest have fallen mute
Circle round the fire
And pray to stop the fall
The island, not sit empty
The torches, have all been drowned
Within a lifetime, when all was lost
The memories undone
Laid bare, the casualties succumb
Having left what they could not take
A land of bone and clay
Now all that remains for us to claim
Curse the horizon
The waters and shore
The blood within
That marks our skin
