Requiem

Sun setting in the distance
Standing on the summit
The day of reckoning
Rise to justify your existence
Delinquent
Facing judgement for deeds so sickening

Remembrance lost
I don’t know who I am
Repentance lost
My heart is black

Requiem
The past is laid to rest
Burn it all
Requiem
Stand or fall

Cries of the dead and the dying
Echo across the barren land
Filled with shame
The history you are writing in blood
Slaughtering everything
With sword in hand

Earth trembling below
In a death rattle
Lament of our souls
A sorrowful choir
None shall stand victorious from this battle
Our acquiescent choice
To build a funeral pyre
And the flames grow higher

Empires
Crumble and fall
Burial
The ways of old
Ashes
Burning it all
Choices
Stand or fall
