Among the Ruins of a Once Glorious Temple Lyrics by Lay Down Rotten

Deathspell Catharsis (Mors Semper Maior Est)

2014

These halls are damned
Forgotten path
Lead me to the hidden vault
Lifeless, degrading chaos
Covered in ashes
Tormented by a nameless fear
I have seen the glory
I witnessed the rise
I proclaimed the fall
Blackened the edge of the blood red altar
Scarred by gleaming blades
In the late winter of the dying cеntury
Drawn to the hopeless conviction
Torturе the slaves
Bleach the defleshed spine
In chains hang them high, down the walls of time
In chains hang them high, down the walls of time
Darkness falls
Slaughtered in the abyss
Cult of the final sacrifice
Vanished, bewitched
Prophecy fulfilled
Deaf ears won't hear the truth
Dead ominous redemption
Darkness falls
Slaughtered in the abyss
Cult of the final sacrifice
Never will I live again on this bitter ground
The face of sorrow has no mouth
Towers burning in the moonlit distance
Cursed all the vivid memories
I have seen the glory
I witnessed the rise
I proclaimed the fall
The fall!
