lyrics

Lying in the gallows
Loose noose around your neck
Strangling suspension
Ligature to the jugular

Hung, drawn, and quartered

Hammer fell down
Spreading cracks in the crown
Arise thy fowl beast
Upon the backs of squires we'll feast

Hung, drawn, and quartered

Towers of irrevocable hate
Death stench to satiate
Immutably cursed prefect
Anathema consumed Zion sect.

His composed inflection
Dynasties of reelection
Reticent cries overseen befallen
Traitors quarantined--isolated pollen
Let the tides soak in
Child begotten free of sin
Pulled under by the current
No longer afraid of above

Let the depths consume you.

Terror, anguish, and dejection.
Pillaged lands total dissection.
Empires of Old gone with the Fall,
The forging of the Wall.

For a moment all hope is lost--
manifestations of self-interest.
The burning of the Ancient Forests,
Greenery now entirely gone.
Soldiers marching ever on foreign lands,
Small planet laid to waste.

Yet, we remain.

Flight of the Seraphim recommends:

No Quarter For The Damaged
by NORTHLESS

Just. Fuck. This is THE heaviest band you will ever hear. Sludge metal at it's finest with a good touch of post-metal element. Everything in their collection is extremely solid. Flight of the Seraphim
