Anathematize - Aftermath lyrics

[Verse 1] Shadows drift in silence as moonlight floods the floor Highlights corpses strewn in gutters once more The sickening sound of screaming echoes through haunted streets Where children played before they came and stole equality Children crying out; screaming for serenity The sepulcher grows This worldly chasm begins to spread As we lie weeping in cold blood [Hook 1] This parade of shame, defiling our nation's name The bleeding sun draws down as we follow our men to the ground [Verse 2] Scarred and mutilated, their hours wearing thin Broken bodies turned to ash but the fires still rage Sons of something else, striving for a darker day What's become of us? What's become of us? [Hook 2] This masquerade of hate, bleeding countries dry Leaving scars so deep, this world will never reconcile [Middle Eight] Break them down [Guitar Solo] [Outro] Save our souls; crush their bones
