He Who Invokes Decadence Lyrics

once i predicted that we would stand here
i saw a lion prevail over fear
he was fighting to escape from a murderous eruption
but he resumed to content his greed

be my guard follow me on this shallow bay
in these last few decades of lust
read my legacy let it turn into dust
my sons can hear me their silhouettes crawl back in

i look forward to them again
it seems like they carry my torch
as a religious man i still think
that is no futile action
i ask you
am i despiteful

two human beings are shrouded by coats
both of their hands are bleeding
on top of this mountain on which i kneel
they've come to see me

they search for the fragment that i've got in my pocket
as a symbol of decay
it will end up in smoke
life itself gave this moment a purpose
it was sealed by your birth
not for nothing i am put in this chains
will they bind endlessly

it begins...
you can't await that i will beg for grace
you can't await to paint me red
You can't await to leave me in these depths
You can't await to see me abused

let me assign you this emblem
take it as an expropriation
it's the contribution of an old man
now determine our affinity

once i predicted that we would stand here
i saw you lions prevail over fear
you were fighting to escape from this murderous eruption
but you resumed to content your greed

this injection was lethal i tell you
take the gift at the trunk as my farewell
it will lead to hell
