Scars of Old Songtext
von Venenum Dei

Devoured by nightmares of the past
I witness the grandeurs burned to ash
A failure, a disease has taken control
A blasphemy past had foretold

The last breath
Of humanity

The mark once meaning hope
Has lead to turmoil and destruction
Reaching high heavens and ideals
Words of comfort turned to curses

The remains
Of divinity


Great gates crumble before the might of night
And those once humble will extinguish light

When closing of eyes brings horrors more alive
And scars infected begin to burn
Silence speaks in ancient tongues
Enlightenment so long yearned
Will lead to truths hidden by the accused

When opening new sight
makes horrors show true meaning
And scars healed drip in new vitality
Silence screams in ancient tongues
In the dimming light of blinding lies


The last breath
Of humanity
The remains
Of divinity
