Sanctification Denied

(album: Solitude In Madness - 2020)

Oh hear the cries of rupture
When all grief and tears spawn
As lava flows from the chasms
Not in sight of absolution

Forgive thee not, never!
A Suffering as strength to rise from the ruins
Is to lament in atonement
Penance! In the face of the damned

Denounce what's deep inside
To be void in the eyes of many
Countless eyes piercing through
And yet, still no one knows...

This knowledge festers deep
Stand up to only exist
Forced down to broken knees
And the heart is raped once more

Grief and tears
Tears that burn

Thee is at fault of it all
The reason hope is abandoned
You, the right hand of none
Therefore the sinner extreme

Forgive thee not. Never!
Banished, unwanted, unsought
Your path to enlightenment
Crushed and forever torn

Sanctification denied
Sanctification denied
Sanctification denied

Sanctification denied
Sanctification denied
Sanctification denied
As the soul subsides
