Curse The Cosmos

Seats, at the table
Negotiating the lives of man
Worthless parasites, Deserve to die
Minds corrupt, Their eyes are blind
Discarding freedom
Sacrificed alive
Verse I b: Gathered at the, councils summit
We’ve assembled, the defendant
The treaty’s status? They’ve expanded
What’s the purpose? Blood must be spilled!
The spires location? It’s been secured
The signals radiating? At full power
Mutations occurring? In record numbers
What’s the purpose? Blood must be spilled!
Chorus x2: Stripped of my flesh and bleed dry
Contain the fury or set it free
Manifest my own destiny
Curse the cosmos, I wander alone
Verse II pt. A: Wolves, in the throne room
Usurping, the power of man
Through the years
Bound and gagged
Unknowing, what lies beneath
The veil is tearing, Your fate awaits
Verse II pt. B: The bodies piled, at the spire
Their entrails, scattered and torn
The peace they promised, they deceived us
The power they hold, Blood must be spilled
Cultivated, Through the cosmos
Power growing, With every stone
Ancients gathered, Collect the lifeforce
Infinity postponed, Blood must be spilled
Chorus x2: Stripped of my flesh and bleed dry
Contain the fury or set it free
Manifest my own destiny
Curse the cosmos, I wander alone
