Of War and Redemption – Cardinal Sin – letras

You judge my causeBut you are mistakenFor I’ve seen the rise of this empireIn a glimpse of eternityAm I not the steady streamOf ageless cognitionThat guides your fatesThrough the sewers of time?Am I not the fireOf ritual cleansingThat purged your holy blindnessFor the vision?Am I not the sacred zeroOf the lost beginningsWhich gave birth to all mentations?I am the crux of your salvationThe exodus of reasonTo the sands of insanityUnveils a reflection , caughtIn the waters of my inner selfA menacing taint of redThe wolves of my lustHowl in futilityAwaiting the serenity , soughtIn the grim depravationAnd bloody carnage of warThe fog is risingThey shall see us for who we areArise!Arise from the slumber of this fickle peaceTame the ebb and flow of destinyRide to death and immortalityRide, my soldier , rideConquer the land in the name of thy lordNow the deafening silence of war rings in our earsAbove the din , we can hearThe racing hearts of the enemyWe can hear ,we can seeThe failing courage of menThe fear in their eyesThe bowed head deserves severanceMercy begets vengeanceThe relative holds no powerWe search for the absoluteAwaken!Awaken the iron of the empireRender the winds of antiquitySubservient to your warrior decreeFight, my soldier, fightLay down your lives in the name of thy lordLay down your lives for the only true causeI can hear the final callI can see the ranks of the eldersOn the horizon ,Calling us outThey’re calling us outThe end is nigh , the end is nighCut me open , so they don’t bury me alive
