Cursed Earth Lyrics

Adorned in sorrow
Is the Emmaus Road
Will we surrender or kick against the goads?
Are we too selfish
To discern our own demise?
Cloaked in falsehood
Have we believed in our own lies?

Consecrate
Deviate

Cursed earth
Since Eden's fall corruption reigns
Broken and charred are the remains
Blind, deceived and groping
Clawing at its veins
Gnawing at the open wounds
And licking crimson stains

Cursed Earth
Lured by that which we despise
Seduced by its ethereal disguise
Golgotha's bread not broken
So we could feed on dust
In hedonistic Paradigms
And revel in our lusts

Consecrate
Deviate

Never been forsaken
Through the slavery of time
In clarity awakened
By the hand of the Divine
Rejecting false Utopia
As the widow spins her web
By mercy's hand extracted
From the trappings of the dead

The ending of this sojourn nigh
Our struggle is no more
Held tight in the Master's hand
Eternally secure
Grace has been the blazing torch
Through this - our darkest hour
For through the bloodstained
Cross of Christ
The darkness has no power

Transfigured we shall rise
