Usurpation Lyrics by Hath

Of Rot and Ruin

2019

[Verse 1]
Slaves to the curse, rotting away
No memories to sustain
Everything ends
Drifting further from life
Embers will fade

[Pre-Chorus]
In the pantheon of old
I'll find my place
I'll ascend to snuff the light
Usurping the fire

[Chorus]
What rises may fade
The spread of the dark begins
Seeking its vessels
The flame would be its bane
I covet the throne

[Verse 2]
The brighter the flame the deeper the shadow
Such is the way
Free from death, left to wander forever
Inherit fire

[Chorus]
What rises may fade
The spread of the dark began
Seeking its vessels
The flame would be its bane

[Post-Chorus]
The writhing ruin bearing the curse
Always searching, wanting for naught
This ghost in the mirror
A mockery masquerading as a living thing

[Bridge]
Every pound of flesh, every bleeding wretch
All have failed before to harness the truth

[Verse 3]
I'm a vessel for the dead
Their secrets are the prizes I lust
Knowledge of demise from the minds of the wise
We've lost but will soon see
For my faith lies in ruins

[Guitar solo]

[Outro]
Let the dark be cast upon the world
Wasted to death by sloth
The might of the tempest
For he who lets the light die out
