A blackened night has cast its shadow upon the skies

not a sound to be heard from where the buried bodies hide

ceased from flowing are the rivers that seem to be touched

by icy hands of death himself

in the graveyard by the crypts where the dead rest

scribed into markers show the names of long forgotten

but all that's seen among the graves are the countless stones that lay

weathered

and all that's heard among the ruin is the sound of endless calm

beneath the mounds of unturned earth lay the restless gaze of the ones kept

entombed

confined to the crimes of our spent lives

we long to curse the stars

awake

bring back to life what was taken

and tell the tales of our lost souls

endure this pain no longer

break free from our prisons made

no tears we've shed

no longer go wasted

return to us what you've taken away

repay the crimson veins that you have slit

repair the broken souls you've soiled

horrendous sights

spine chilling realizations

bloodcurdling sense

unnerving all who's seen

destruction bound

the ones that silenced us

confined into the abyss

ride through the eventide

just to see the dawn of day

for a chance to feel alive

and when we see the stars and scream into the evening sky

we will curse the day that we were born

curse the day that we were born

awake all those who dream

all seeking solitude

your time has come to change your fate

and bring the courage of a million hearts of men

to desolate all who stand in our way

no longer will we forfeit the years we spent working for our gain

all of the tears we've shed are no longer wasted

awake

bring back to life what was taken

and tell the tales of our lost souls

endure this pain no longer

break free from our prisons made

no longer will we forfeit the years we spent working for our gain

all of the tears we've shed no longer go wasted
