Eight Thousand Sorrows Deep

It is begun
We are become the vengeance
Awoken by a call
To Shed the blood of generations
Invoke the cleansing
The dawn of a new mourning
Bring forth the lasting scars
Save your sentiment for the extinct
Genocide — a human theme
Redemption — a shallow dream?
Devastation gathers
Drench this soil with tears
Humanity at zero
Remorse — shattered
The conscience wronged
Let the risen speak for the fallen
We dig compassion’s grave
Eight thousand sorrows deep
Evolution’s blood-stained crown
Shell be ours to keep
We dig compassion’s grave
Eight thousand sorrows deep
Devastation gathers
Drench this soil with tears
Humanity at zero
