The Begotten Lyrics

The earth trembled

All nature sighed

In dread response

A god has died!

The wings of death have opened up

As we nurture the world with pain

Now we are disappearing

Into the cancerous trees

Where the shepherd has lost all his sheep

Empty skies

Our veins are open

Following the radiant voice

Of hopelessness and fear

The temple walls disintegrate

Mortal fears hammered into bloodstone

"Sons of the earth - flesh on dead bone"

We sealed your tomb, begotten one

"Sons of the earth - flesh on dead bone"

They buried you, forgotten one

The sun withdrew it's light in shame

As we're trying to reach the stars

For we are the defectors

Of your broken destiny

The crowned heads who first called retreat

Still, in our minds

We'll make attempts

At transcending the imminence

Of suffering and misdeed

Though all the emblems are set ablaze

Reverence never admits defeat

"Sons of the earth - flesh on dead bone"

We sealed your tomb, begotten one

"Sons of the earth - flesh on dead bone"

They buried you, forgotten one

Virtues of worthless black and white

Held captive by sewer-hearts

Spouted from the mandible of nothingness

To appease the never-ending flow of hallowed scum

Writhing in a pious confusion, each wearing a head of plaited thorns

The passionless martyrs acting out ordinance, confined to dreary cellars of sanctity

Abandoned kingdom in the sky, it's master is laughing through amnesia clouds

As the crowd descends from the mountain

Through the swirling storms and eruptions

The wingless dove in bloody rags; released
