lyrics

They parade me around in chains
The ritual to sentence years when we've only got days

One can only laugh when the affairs are so absurd
Nothing can be considered wrong when the lines are blurred
I gave the vermin the easy way out, no dread and no panic
Just their pointless life snuffed out

Yet i'm trapped within these walls
Loathed by all who have encountered me

As far as rats go, there's no difference between you and I
But at least I have a chance to witness the vermillion sky
To see all of your arms linked like the very shackles that hold me here
To see you atop the bridge but you're ensnared just like me
There is no escaping this

They rampant seas baying for another person so credulous
You've gained their attnetion, lead by another priest
Oh the things I should show them
So who is really free, as you're stuck inside a beacon
The light would make me blind
Begging for release and running from no one, I could only offer tranquility
So as you slip on down the stones, into the raging foam, rather you than me

Cascading towards the maelstrom, the foolish hounds behind you
If god was real then he'd make the tide take them
As their bodies begin to surface, suddenly it all seems worth it
To watch the zealots meet their end

I slump back down, to inhabit the ground and be pummelled out of existence.

The vermins end, turned to paste to begin again
The vermins end, all your creations down the drain
The vermins end, the fate of all good men
The vermins end and so the rot will descend
