Descent

(album: Empire Theory - 2009)

The descent from destiny by a dark deed done
Was disclosed in divination, death of a dead man's son
Deranged, deprived delivery darkened his decor

Ever-loathsome, the executor's edict
Estranges he from himself evermore
Evermore

So soon the service sealed his fated strife
A sacrifice seduced to save his threatened life

And cowardice nor commerce could call the child to cease
Though the cycle of criminal commissions
Could never co-exist with peace
He could count only on the combustion of his chamber
As he lay the child to the floor

Ever-loathsome, the executor's edict
Estranges he from himself evermore
Evermore

Never to neglect this night again as naught for nuances extend
Innocuously numbing him into, into nullification
Never to neglect this night again as naught for nuances extend
Innocuously numbing him into, into nullification
Nullification, nullification

Terribly taken by the task that transpired
Tonight a tantalizing new testament was acquired
Thundering upon his tormented heart
From temptation and treachery
His almighty teachings tore him apart
Tore him apart
Tore him apart
Tore him apart
