Lyrics
Trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death will be their acquitance
Sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me the sky's crimson tears
Abolish the rules made of stone

Pierced from below, Sould of my trecherous past
Betrayed by many now, ornaments dripping above

Awaiting the hour of reprisal, your time slips away

Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
Creating my structure now I shall reign in blood.
