As They Sleep - The Darkest Ages lyrics

Take over the world Enslaved to declination Leave all of your hopes and dreams behind Make haste divide this nation Take over the world There is nothing left to murder Complete disregard for human life This ancient flame that still burns Into the darkest ages Once more an Emperor's demise I've longed to turn these pages Fight as hard as a mortal man can fight Re-live the devastation A billowing smoke that haunts the sky This murderous confrontation A horrific sight for untrained eyes To forget who we were We try to change who we are Degrade the stature of life Put a blade in the back of the truth And you twist the knife Burning temples ablaze While we suffer the reign Your people dying in vein The remains of a tranquil place as it falls from grace Sew the fields with ashes of the infidels We can't go on this way, we can't go on Take these chains and break them at their weakest link We can't go on this way, we can't go on You speak a cold dead language A respected language of the past Whose words are best forgotten But we all won't soon forget this wrath Just like the frailest human Ignoring the signs of your collapse You watch the blood spill over Inadvertently walking the same path Open your eyes We've all been force fed their lies Force fed their lies A leader who gives Gives everything that you want Can take it all away
