God Forsaken - Byzantine

Violence it’s the only way for me justify

An aggression that bears no face even exposed to the light

A veiled disease planting IED’s under the crescent moon

My Enemy, You are not the conqueror this time

We open pits again

As we pile up the bodies so high

Our sense of humanity is tossed away

As soon as we attain solid visual

Decapitate no matter the age or the tribe

Your cavity of freedom is filled with passivity

In the shadows of human tyranny you undermine

We open up pits again

As we pile up the bodies so high

Our sense of direction is lost

Solo: Henderson

Martyrs, assassins

We mourn and move on as the sun disappears

To dig trenches four Caliphs

Our laws are null you abide to no one

Extremists, no leaders

This genocide will destroy your identity

But it has to be

As you dance on the corpses and wail to the almighty above

In this time of war

Let the moon heal the body, sore

We are forever more

Until the ashes sweep under the door, then you’ll know

Solo: Henderson

In this time of war

Let the moon heal the body, sore

We are forever more

Until the ashes sweep under the door,

Then you know we’re gone

Solo: Henderson

Go forth in the night

You’re a compass for us all

Follow what is right

And your stories will be told

Some by force and some by choice

In time you all shall leave me

I do not fear to be alone

Solitary, I will atone

Graves of sand we all are damned

A body count so accurate

We are surgical in our trade

Enslaved you will be trained

Never strive for life unstrifed

We fight out of necessity

This canvas will always be

Chaotic and painted with blood

As we pile up the bodies so high

Our sense of direction is lost

Solo: Henderson

Solo: Henderson

Nobody notices the difference here

Outside of me a hollow frame

I lie awake no feelings of shame

I smile when all of the fools believe

The path I’ve taken eroding from me

My eyes are dry they do not shed a tear

Sanctuary was taken from me

I laugh and talk and keep thinking that I’m still here

The fractured moments of our life they are lost

Hemorrhage the tears no more

You never tried to lift me up and let me fly with my own wings

Burdened by small and petty things

Our yesterdays erased, depreciation seeping from the lips, Judas

What is it like to live and love without the lies?

Tell before the seal is permanent

You fail to realize

Selfish acts will define

By grievance, you then will learn

A misery so cold

It blots out the sun, surrendered

The only one to fall will be yourself

Solo: Henderson

I cannot fathom what is happening

Never amnesty for me

You never tried what kind of life do you expect for me to lead?

An open wound for calm to cauterize

You fail to realize

Selfish acts will define

By grievance, you then will learn

A misery so cold

It blots out the sun, abandoned

You uttered we are done, the only words

I, let no calm groweth inside me

I, know that love is not the remedy

We arrive unsympathized

I, wave the white flag to misery
