The world trembles, As knees hit the ground Looking to the sky Eyes searching, For something divine Hoping for redemption From this burden of sin, Crushing the man to the ground Feeling no breath, feeling no redemption He is the sundered, the lost Thy eyes speak to the stars Allowing no mistake of sin to pass The stars only blink despondently Giving thee no chance of redemption For the lost one has never forgiven another So now the stars give no forgiveness to the lost man They bleed only in quiet sadness Sundered souls have no place, Amongst the stars with His Grace The stars die slowly While a crying angel comes to the man Who needs, Who wants, Who only deceives The angel judges the mans worth Giving him only a shred of hope The weight of time balanced on a single shining tear Slowly it falls, to end nevermore And such was the story of this man Cast to hell for crimes that stole the angel's breath Stolen as fast as the man's hope -lance There is no peace among the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter and the laughter of thirsting gods |
