Lyrics God Forsaken - Byzantine

God Forsaken

Violence it’s the only way for me justify
An aggression that bears no face even exposed to the light
A veiled disease planting IED’s under the crescent moon
My Enemy, You are not the conqueror this time
We open pits again
As we pile up the bodies so high
Our sense of humanity is tossed away
As soon as we attain solid visual
Decapitate no matter the age or the tribe
Your cavity of freedom is filled with passivity
In the shadows of human tyranny you undermine
We open up pits again
As we pile up the bodies so high
Our sense of direction is lost
Solo: Henderson
Martyrs, assassins
We mourn and move on as the sun disappears
To dig trenches four Caliphs
Our laws are null you abide to no one
Extremists, no leaders
This genocide will destroy your identity
But it has to be
As you dance on the corpses and wail to the almighty above
In this time of war
Let the moon heal the body, sore
We are forever more
Until the ashes sweep under the door, then you’ll know
Solo: Henderson
In this time of war
Let the moon heal the body, sore
We are forever more
Until the ashes sweep under the door,
Then you know we’re gone
Solo: Henderson
Go forth in the night
You’re a compass for us all
Follow what is right
And your stories will be told
Some by force and some by choice
In time you all shall leave me
I do not fear to be alone
Solitary, I will atone
Graves of sand we all are damned
A body count so accurate
We are surgical in our trade
Enslaved you will be trained
Never strive for life unstrifed
We fight out of necessity
This canvas will always be
Chaotic and painted with blood
As we pile up the bodies so high
Our sense of direction is lost
Solo: Henderson
Solo: Henderson
Nobody notices the difference here
Outside of me a hollow frame
I lie awake no feelings of shame
I smile when all of the fools believe
The path I’ve taken eroding from me
My eyes are dry they do not shed a tear
Sanctuary was taken from me
I laugh and talk and keep thinking that I’m still here
The fractured moments of our life they are lost
Hemorrhage the tears no more
You never tried to lift me up and let me fly with my own wings
Burdened by small and petty things
Our yesterdays erased, depreciation seeping from the lips, Judas
What is it like to live and love without the lies?
Tell before the seal is permanent
You fail to realize
Selfish acts will define
By grievance, you then will learn
A misery so cold
It blots out the sun, surrendered
The only one to fall will be yourself
Solo: Henderson
I cannot fathom what is happening
Never amnesty for me
You never tried what kind of life do you expect for me to lead?
An open wound for calm to cauterize
You fail to realize
Selfish acts will define
By grievance, you then will learn
A misery so cold
It blots out the sun, abandoned
You uttered we are done, the only words
I, let no calm groweth inside me
I, know that love is not the remedy
We arrive unsympathized
I, wave the white flag to misery
