Embrace The End - Tempest Tried And Tortured (The Bloodening) lyrics

Blackened halos hang heavy over shell-shocked eyes Love is a war my friend Open wounds Open the flood gates Open the gates A counterfeit contentment Countdown to the day Life is a war my friend With every step you take It takes you farther and further away It takes you further waway So let the truth bleed Let it be whispered from one thousand dying breaths Poisoned hope You speak of justice as you turn your head I refuse to burn with you To rot in all your decadent decay False martyrs for empty fights Defile sacred ground Blood runs thick through clenched fists Words of regret Vindictive cries Rotting heroes and wasted lives A battle cry lost on the horizon Betray Betrayed Hands clasped together Pulled up by the roots Bleeding from their throats There never was a tomorrow A battle cry lost on the horizon Betray Enotmbed in these forgotten catacombs Slowly dying with a frigid smile The malignancy of your hate Tempest tried and tortured Stumbling through the potter's ground With a grin Plagued by contempt From where I stand It's not hard to see that it's never been alright Lost in a dreamer's valor I refuse to burn with you I refuse to rot in all your decadent decay Now your wings have been tainted Take the plunge Sift through the refuse Feast on the fodder Feast on the spoils Ask yourself Do we jump or drown? Bleed or burn? Because in the end Even the greatest hero dies Sift through the refuse Feast on the fodder Feast on the spoils Powder-stained and battle-scarred I dare you not to forget Temptest tried and tortured Left to die from the inside f**ing out
