Hymn Of The Hourglass Lyrics by Single White Infidel

Fictionpunx

2016

So it's come to this, our task is
Clearer than the skies we used to
Stare into when times were peaceful
Before the stain of evil
Shame that we'll destroy the world
You fought so hard to save
But this earth is far beyond its saving
The light of hope is far past fading
So we climb to the summits of mountains
To offer ourselves to the gods who are waiting
(Come cleanse the earth)
(So we may begin again)
To end
The world again
Oh we can't save ourselves
But we won't let evil win
We pray to end
This world again
You tried your best and lost
So now we offer up our world
To death itself
To death we drink tonight
O, God of Death!
O, merciful end! We stand today
To ask for your forgiveness
Entreating you to end this darkness
The balance has been torn to pieces
And left to rot and fade
It's clear to us this earth is fallen
The light of hope is near forgotten
A sacrifice in the name of the living
We offer this world to the fate it's begotten
The ritual begins
The blood drips from our hands
We grasp each other's wrists
And plead for swift and painless ends
At your feet our whole lives served
Taught to heed your will from birth
Now may this prophecy of death
Be fulfilled by your dark works
All the anger ever wrought
All the wars we ever fought
Every child lost to disease
Every sin against the gods
Led to this, our last decree
May your sword, with godly speed
Rend good and evil alike
Wipe this cursed planet clean
