Deeds of Strife Lyrics

Commence with words then truth infest
Smite with lucid lies, so more it be
Break the neck of mercy, compassion divest

Flayed masks the coldest face reveal
Grow roots deep with deceit sown on deceit
Hardened hands raise callous harvest

Sing not my name, call out my fame
What we did we did from shame
And legacies, recalled feats
Burn as one with loyalties

Should the day ever rise
To leave the scene of history
Gate will be slammed so damn hard
To shake the very universe

What ways are right, always bend to might
What must be done, in shade and out of sight
What us holy grinds, are deeds of strife
Forward us drive, beyond forgiveness
Every glance behind, too late for this crime
For all that's buried, some bones must rise

Paint them shadows on halls yonder
Nameless, yet with names deep branded
Mirrors coated dark and sundered
Faceless, eyes of mothers far averted
Lost dreams nailed to doors last
Ruthless, as saints to sin converted
Nameless, faceless, soulless
