Lost In The Call

Sleep Serapis Sleep

I stand surrounded and confounded by the holocaust
Of a billion shrieking souls that have all twice been lost
It seems that heaven’s no paradise, but a hellish prison instead
And there isn’t a moment of rest for the ruthless dead:

“Hear us, heed us!
Mark us, be lost in our call
This is eternity’s offering, our offering
Your rightful place awaits…
If you'll just scream with us
If you'll just scream with us, your rightful place awaits."

Louder still, as it bears upon us, bones begin to break.
“Surrender now your piteous tongues; in our melody partake,
Oh pious thirst, willing victims first, your mislead courage is but a curse.”
“We’d rather die with unclouded eyes, than into this nightmare wake.”

“To arms, to arms…
God, save us from our faith in you.”

With this began a bloody wrath upon our mortal lives
A new meaning of despair that no man can survive
Still defiantly we gaze into our God’s vengeance
As the heavens unveil our unrelenting torments

One by one, these words crept into our
Hearts and mouths, we’d known them all along
And suddenly, there was no need to fight at all,
We had already overcome

All too clear was the hatred within
“Come, traitors,”
All too clear was the triumph at hand
“Hear us sing…
You have forgotten your word,
It is we that forgive you, now.”
