vengeance & ruination

under the shadows of high walls

the condemned is led blindly to doom

in the place where blood falls

and fills the earth

damnation blooms

carve away dignity

piece by piece

for all to see

stripped and flayed

humanity

for the lost

no sympathy

cries for deliverance

echo through halls of pain

vengeance and ruination

flows in crimson rivers

the agony of castigation

an offering to the true god death delivered

carve away dignity

piece by piece

for all to see

stripped and flayed

humanity

for the lost

no sympathy

cries for deliverance

echo through halls of pain

this ritual of violence

yet another link in the never-ending chain

eye for an eye

crime for a crime

the true measure of power

the ability to inflict cruelty with impunity

cries for deliverance

echo through halls of pain

this ritual of violence

yet another link in the never-ending chain
