Famine Feeds Famine

We, who are stumbling blindly, need a sign from Thee
We have met the light, yet it only betrays us
Again and again
Exalted, we kissed the cross, and faithfully
We sang Thy Psalms. Yet we lack meaning
God's starving children

In silence we pray for reprieve, yet the Sin
Punishes us mercilessly
For he rightfully chooses his prey
And the victim is always due

The temptation burdens our freedom the burden
Of human corruption. The hunger dulls the Sin
Yet the Sin numbs the urge
Again and again
Hordes of famished ascetics, kneeling in vivid ecstasy
His deceitful calls gave us life
God's starving offspring

Emaciated corpses shall spawn martyrdom
Where leprosy sprouts, fed by frustration
Let the Savior walk on the ground we plow
Where it’s constantly lush, the Era of Perdition
Is starting to blossom
