We've survived a firestorm of derision And now their weakness is revealed The hydra called modernity has failed And wether or not the flock understands... The blood of our fathers must be justified Justified at all costs This faul, faul world ridden with apathy Has lost it's place in all things I am as the serpent's crest Ouroborous and Regal at once The world at the center of my coil My tail consumed, leaves me hungry for more Finding courage in the spheres Horizons dark as ever before Once you come this way You'll never wish to return The path is of fire and lit by pain Stark truths are their own reward Dreams and illusions shatter like glass Sans sympathy for it's own sake I am as the serpent's crest Ouroborous and Regal at once The world at the center of my coil Sans sympathy for it's own sake From nothingness to nothingness Black clouds parting for the dawn From far beyond the voices still sound Made wretched by the distance we've come I've lived to fight another day The day of infamy - declaration of war
