blades of iron raze the fields in ignorance -   drawing deep the blood from earthly veins -   withering the springs of richness deep within -   leaving barren fertile gardens of delight -   gardens of delight -   sever the spirits from the earth -   cut free the tethers from our hearts -   we wear the execution mask -   as we plunge headlong towards the dark -   headlong towards the dark -   unbind the spirits from the earth -   let free the wicked in our hearts -   we wear the execution mask -   as we plunge headlong towards the dark -   premonition man’s destruction rising high -   evolution coming to a full collapse -   fragile balance shattered in the wake of greed -   ashen gardens blackening we burn the seed -   raise the scaffold high upon the gathering night -   taut the cord to maximize the stranglehold -   propagate the plague of human vanity -   human vanity
