lyrics

You are all beyond choosing
So don’t follow my lead
But I swear to you, unfaltering
We'll make it through the week

Inhabitants
We share our plight
And we will rise tonight
If we so choose

We've been picked off and plundered 
So we cry to our thunderous fate
But with little cohesion I promise you
We'll storm the gate 
If we so choose

But if it were up to me
You know I'd thirst for justice
This idol who left us to die
But if it were up to me
You know I'd thirst for justice
And render the traitor a mortal before his own eyes

Faith has always wrought
Bottom-feeders

I lack precision but I have tact
I lack persistence but I abstract
I got you wondering 
Was it worth it after all?

Recourse, he robbed us of
All of his promises 

Recourse

Hail…see how our god was
Locked away

Reach for
Resolution 
This ends tonight

I'm breaking
This open, written word
Unbreaking, this overarching world
Where I'm unlimited 

And I'm shaking
As the earth that twists in front of us
And I'm breaking apart within my soul

We followed him
Sovereign
All of them
I would fight back 

I lack precision but I have tact
I lack persistence but I abstract
I got you wondering 
Was it worth it after all?

We followed him
Sovereign
All of them

I would fight back alone
Sever all the threads he's wrought
Fetch the fates
Storm the gates

Written on the pavement:
"Worship is enslavement”
Reborn out of water
Dire, straight from the source
Save us, we retaliate
And I want nothing to do with it
So I'll say

The end of a holy war
Is a war on holiness
I'm remiss, I digress, I repress, I resent that I brought you all here, but we're here 

Follow me into oblivion
Carry me home
