Ritualist - The Cost of a Lie’s Reflection

Ritualist - The Cost of a Lie’s Reflection Stream - Lyrics: Masses, hungry masses in the wasteland below Brought by the famine tide Herding in from each corner of this wasted horizon That chokes on the dust of their wake They bring with them only scars and starvation Brought about by the crimes for they now wish to atone Exactly what has been foretold Has arrived despite their ignorance Gathered before them In desperation Redemption withheld Built on the backs of lies embedded in time Soon to be unveiled Common and disgusting vermin They disgrace us with their presence We know we’re not the same But long since we’ve been warned These signs of rolling plague Unknowingly harbored by peasants now they have arrived We once gave them purpose, rose them up from the dirt We had made them as a legion, loyal and unyielding A holy oath soiled, spoiled, shatted and pissed upon Their loyalty squandered, forgotten and forsaken The ties that they have severed Held this world together This burden of guilt and corrosion has exhausted our will to go on Wedged itself deep between us and the lies that beset us (we know we’re not the same) (we know we’re not the same) A meticulously and maliciously woven veil Our destiny shrinks in around us Divided and stricken with rot and weak will We ourselves have chosen This dead ended path of shame This path to exile Scattered and bound to our fate Pray that the will of the world is to end us now Before we ask what is deserved Willfully relinquishing our children’s future Poisoning the soil of their hope In believing this truth we’ve shaped from the lies Produced, Mixed, Mastered by Lee Albrecht Video Credits: Director/VFX: Jason Caudill Assistant Editor: Sergey Yakovenko
