Shed the Light

Lyrics

Monarch of useless ruin Your fatal harvest grows nothing but human waste With the blackest of tongues, like the power of the sun You can give life or take it away Conjuror of false illusion Your tainted lies hold nothing but septic hopes Wrapped in the trust of a shining cross Will they ever shed this light and see The truth From your throne you've left us all to die Again Inciting vicious whispers Fall on willing ears Sick obedience mastered Strengthened by your fear Wild and mindless furor Your devout lash out in anger Fierce relentless battles Designed to make us suffer Your promised light was the only way But your path of myths brings darker days Shed this light Wake and rise Shed this light Wake or die In the blinding glow of your craven prophets They steal this precious life from within your veins Peel away the rotten layers And tear yourselves away from their torturous light
