Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The worship of inferae tombs
A communion of sycophants
How long is the line to our doom?
Deceivers and lying chants
[Verse 2]
And goddamn you
You're the shadows of men
And goddamn you
For it's kill or be killed in the end
[Verse 3]
The numbers crossed lines in the sand
The pools of human rats
Their tails are twisted and tied
Eat of thy poison divine
[Verse 4]
And goddamn you
You're the shadows of men
And goddamn you
For it's kill or be killed in the end
[Verse 5]
And goddamn you
You're the shadows of men
And goddamn you
For it's kill or be killed in the end
[Verse 6]
The torturer slowly brought doom
Irreverent the ingrate laughed
Mendacious and full of black rants
Dark grins and knives in backs
[Verse 7]
And goddamn you
You're the shadows of men
And goddamn you
For it's kill or be killed in the end
[Verse 8]
Take what is given to you
Death surrounds you
Stuck low with souls for the moon
Death surrounds you
Black garbs, the hosting of two
Death surrounds you
[Verse 9]
Take what is given to you
Death surrounds you
Take what is given to you
Death surrounds you
Stuck low with souls for the moon
Death surrounds you
[Verse 10]
Death surrounds you
Death surrounds you
Death surrounds you
Death surrounds you
