Apostate's Vendetta Songtext
von Astringency

I, the defier of divine misanthropy
Deific cruelty I spit upon ′tween labored breaths
How then doth absence bear such despondency?
We shall see as heedless neglect I reciprocate

At best a figment conjured by quixotic minds
At worst the all-pervading overlord forever I'll despise
Pierce and perforate corrupt authority on high
I′m the apostle of one faith bereft
Of blood perfect to lie

The breaking of a heart shan't cease its blackening
These onyx shards will bleed forth hatred deafening
Cradled in helpless arms the martyr I profess
Bleeding, more penance paid with innocence in vain

Empty longing come to be an altar unto me
For thee, our advocate for all humanity
Obsolete yet immortal with memories stained
By a premature end clasped with a chilled hand


Twenty-three years we saw endured
Transcends thirty-three unproved
Backs turned to the absence above
O come and let us mourn

Remove the padded shroud
No angel stood guard this day
Never the dead could rejoin our plane
When tombs unroll or pine doors sway
Sinners all, but who were we?
Flesh and blood physically seen
So did our patron saint arise
With death's whisper chased that night

Twenty-three years we saw endured
Transcends thirty-three unproved
Backs turned to the absence above
O come and let us mourn
Set sail eternal on a short crimson fall
From life′s loud farewell trickles a lullaby
to melancholy hearts hum everlastingly
Awaiting kindred fate never on bended knee


You gave up
Your destiny forever unfulfilled
Maybe you′ve peace at last
O come and let us mourn
