Omens of Plague - Ophidian Towers lyrics

Watch the graves overflow at the whim of shadow thrones Born into golden cradles or risen from mere dust They claw their way atop the towers Way beyond the reach of angels to gaze at the meek with disgust Herding children into war, hiding their d**h amongst the numbers When profit no longer suffices strive to make them dance to the beat of your song A bullet will still make its way through their mortal flesh Their blood runs red and turns to rust when kissed by summer sunlight Vultures won´t decline the chance to feed on their eyes Behind the veil there´s true evil to fear and not a single God to find Venom dripping from the mouth of those entangled in their slime Graves of brothers overflowing, howling wolf of man The hunger never ends Sink the knives deep at their command As if your hands were their very fangs And let no man reach his final breath with his innocence unscathed Sink the knives deep at their command Just reach in, paint them red And the judgment spreads And the blame goes silent And all trust is gone And the truth is slain Then the war ignites And the flames rise higher As the graves go deep And the serpents reign
