lyrics

The blood that seeps from a distended wound
Is almost as black as the night
It pools on the floor, congeals at my feet
Reflecting a terrible sight

My personal hell, our shared circumstance
Together we are each alone
I watch as the foundations crumble, and
Brace for misery, worse than we've known

I rage at the power of small men
Who fiddle while cities burn
I weep for the plight of the poor man
Who doesn't know which way to turn
Which way to turn

The animal urge to follow the pack
Will result in humanity's fall
We live behind wire, we snap at our bonds
While the animals laugh at us all

I rage at the power of small men
Who undermine all that is good
I seethe at the weakness of leaders
Too spineless to do what they should
Do what they should

The darkest of days that are soon to come
Will only bring misery
We are told there is light at the end of the path
I have searched but I cannot see

I rage at the power of small men
Who revel in death and decay
I pray for someone who can save us
For someone who can show us the way
Show us the way
Show us the way
Please show us the way
Show us the way
Please show us the way

This is the kind of gothic rock I absolutely love. Oldschool, guitar-heavy music in the vein of Love Like Blood. I'm really hoping for a full-length LP. WotanAK
