lyrics

Sights of Woe

The voice of wisdom, inevitably clear
Sung by the fallen from grace
I, descendent of the might
I am yours forever
Let the burning ritual begin

Behold the soul of man
Trapped in the bottomless regions
There to dwell admidst the worms
Chained to their poles
From God to men the way is short
I judge thee perverse
So rest your weary bones beside
The fire and last forevermore

Sights of woe
A craving of the flesh we don't understand

Acedia, rejection of grace
Invidia, others deprive
Ira, inordinately and uncontrolled
Luxuria, Avaritia, Gula, Superbia

The harbinger of death upon us
And the Sinner and the shadows of death
The sun has fallen, burnt form its canvas
With a scent of spiritual death

The sights of woe
And the drawing of the flesh

Unveiled its retribution of penal fire reborn
A curse for men to swallow their pride
Indulge the sins and mourn
Since misery loves company there’s no holding back
The time is short but the fire still burns
The blood is till red but the wounds are still open
