lyrics

Black fades into pale grey
shouldered weight bends straight spines back
castle walls yield faint remains
every good thing leaves our plane

Hold your grace above our heads
while you wear ignorance as your crown
you hide your shape behind death's shroud
but no one could mistake your sound.

Roar
battle cries piercing the night
blood covers sites of vengeance
feel control slip through your hands
as your held accountable for all
the crimes you were acquitted of
wherein the victim's voice belonged to you
cast spells into your victim's weakness
to play into their desire to please you.

One day
they'll loosen
the rope you tied around their wrists
take
you by surprise as you lay
fast asleep
unbothered by the repercussions
associated with grooming your own prey
your eyes buldge wide as your windpipe
gives way beneath the dissident's weight.

Free yourselves,
break the cycle that holds you in the role of the opressed:
Don't welcome demons into your life .

Sing grace unto yourselves
embrace our imperfections
learn to accept a life outside of lines
drawn by our sick dark world
