Lyrics Desolate It Mourns Before Me - Monotheist

Desolate It Mourns Before Me

Light
Illuminates the sky
Vulgar rays spread like snakes slithering
Upon the fleeting clouds
The time has come
To tame the elements
And place the reigns upon nature
Hands reaching toward the heavens
To bring them down
A cabal of intellect gathers
Arrogant hearts and ambition fomenting
A plague of astonishment blooms
A bitter flower shedding putrid petals
Cutting the air in their salacious sway
They sing a whispered song, virulent
Heralding the demise of all things
The mental gifts bestowed upon My children
Lead to unceasing greed and destruction
Their machines facing the welkin
Babel’s tower reconstructed
A bitter flower shedding putrid petals
Cutting the air in their salacious sway
They sing a whispered song, virulent
Heralding the demise of all things
Behold the stalwart figure of metal and wire entwined
An infernal image of mangled sinew and ligaments
An unsightly creature indeed
With this they aim to conquer creation
These gluttonous fools, feeding themselves with the blood of their brothers
Will watch the sky fall and demolish all that ever was
A beam of light shot into the sky
The fulgurant Judas kiss
A treacherous kiss once again
And like that fateful night of the past
Recompense is wrought swiftly upon their heads
They are but insects pushing against the celestial heel
Waiting to crush them into the dust from whence they came
The earth uprooted, the heavens torrent unrestrained terror —
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
And their blood shall run on the streets for the dogs to lick
Slain bodies, carrion for the crows' feast
Now lays there the land, bereft of fools' mockery
Desolate, it mourns before Me
A bitter flower shedding putrid petals
Cutting the air in their salacious sway
They sing a whispered song, virulent
Heralding the demise of all things
