Not Peace but Pestilence Lyrics

Beasts torment the nightmares of children
with jagged teeth and claws
I'm haunted more by the ruesome
specters of regret and loss

Those times whose visions faded
still the wounds bleed in my soul
When everything fades away but the grief
time taking its toll

The horrid solace
that life presents
Is never peace
Only pestilence

A grim reflection
with no defense
never peace
Only pestilence

Are angels plagued by such ghastly visions?

The acrid fruit
spawned from blighted trees
Falls where smothered flames choke the heavens
winds whispering disease

The hatchet's trusty blade
rusts mere feet from a half-dug grave

Virulent Midas turned ashen
though fires could not cleanse
the decaying sorrow
of thousands of frayed loose ends

Are angels plagued?

Beasts torment the nightmares of children
with yellowed, bloody teeth
I'm taunted by the hollow whispers
of unexpected grief

And plagued by faded angels
as the sands of time descend
Soul pierced by the gleaming tridents
of the demons of regret

The horrid sentence
that life presents
Is never peace
Only pestilence

With sorrows mounting
there's no defense
never peace
Only pestilence
