Corruption

Weightless, breathless The fog clears from my mind As scalding crimson Fills our lungs My thoughts cast back in time She stirred, asleep Until storm's retreat, And awoke with naught to say, "He lives, he lives, I've seen our boy, he lives! He's buried beneath Our very feet All we must do is dig All we must do is dig" Absurd revelation Moral reservation In sleep, our guide awaits Earth and bone Flesh and stone Carved away Take back our own Earth and bone Flesh and stone Carved away Take back our own Wake Rise Work Move Why? Bring him back, Follow through Return us our child true Earth and bone Flesh and stone Carved away Take back our own The deeper we go The longer our hair The thinner our numbers The thicker the air Mountain's heart Infected Carve it away Lies As scalding crimson Fills our lungs My eyes cast to the side Wading through Cacophony of Cadavers and cries The guardian One child in hand Leaves the rest to die Misfortune born Of desperation Two hearts led astray Buried beneath Misguided dreams Suffering in vain Final lamentation Moral revelation, Collapsing mountain's vein Bring them back Pride entombed Drown in blood Our children true Earth and bone Flesh and stone Carved away Destroyed our home
