Purges My enterprise takes time And time will take its toll And when we seem sublime It winks and mocks us all What lurks behind the veil Some infinite reward? Or will my journey fail And meet its end upon the sword? Sir lift your head up high Don't fret do not despair Our victory is nigh And now's the time to dare Come see how frail and weak Are monuments of fault We'll march until we reach The highest peak of human thought Decadent warriors are at the gate Come forth accept your fate I'll win this quest and bring horror to its final rest And I hold no tender sympathy To hinder liberty Purges will leave me bereft of my last enemy This war is the demise Of melancholy days Of sugar-coated lies An exit from this maze I'll do what must be done I'll say my nevermore I have my fears but none Will bring this battleship to shore
