lyrics

Scorned by a wicked tongue
When we lie.
To conceal and deny that we are wrong.
Not counting on the day
Of our reckoning.
Lucifer is starved,
For lack of sin is passing down,
All retained and consumed
Within this realm.
Bitterness et al
Is withheld, remains,

Safe within the walls – Hide away in fear
Bastion – Bury all the years
Paradise to all – Dissevered from the soul
Bastion – Sanctuary's hold

The tide of sin
Keeps rolling in

Safe within the walls – Hide away in fear
Bastion – Bury all the years
Paradise to all – Dissevered from the soul
Bastion – Sanctuary's hold

Damned! Cannot let it go.
Raging heat
Tears it way to the throat
And, in defeat,
Move forward to release
Sanguine demons forth.
Hell upon us hard!
And at the gates
A blood-red light
But no opening found
And no escape.
Is an eternal night
Destiny for me?

Safe within the walls – Hide away in fear
Bastion – Bury all the years
Paradise to all – Dissevered from the soul
Bastion – Sanctuary's hold

The tide of sin
Keeps rolling in

A thousand voices, as though in ritual
Explode into the mind.
In visceral throes, in agony they'll find
The horror, as deep as we can hide.

Bastion – A masochistic game
Carrion – The soul will rot in shame
Bastion – What once was clear and free
Bastion – Is now the enemy

Piercing pain.
Evolving, mutates
Out to feast on weakness.
Drawn in, nullified.
Resistance futile.
Total hate
Is building.

Out! A beast so vile,
Primed for the kill.
Abject, unruled
He transcends control,
Off-loads his pain in flights of frenzied rage,
Gut reaction, to life en-caged.
It's his time,
There'll be nowhere to shelter
For the fire will erupt and signal the fall,
Force so volatile.
So crushing.
Unvented power
Of the suppressed emotions
Hidden, are now set loose.

Out! The beast so vile.
Approach the edge.
This delusive boundary
Won't hold the barbaric overlord.
It kills the mind.
Lights out, an ending,
To all the

Piercing pain, enduring onslaught
Broken walls have fallen.
