The Chosen

For your faith and fidelity, I have spread my wings
Throughout your seed and from your descendants
A portal will open, by a king dressed in thorns
Who'll come to lead in the mortal
Before a new day is born, on earth as it is in heaven

By patriarchal destiny, the bloodlines shed in tyranny
And the last dispersed will ever be the chosen
Avowing blame as we disintegrate
And in flames we'll forever hate
The masked suspense of reasons you're witholding
We have crossed the seas of strife
Just so we could kneel outside
To watch the house of god collapse in desecration
And from remnants of the damned, the progeny rise
Where we have torched the tree of life
At the penultimate insurrection and sin of nations

The river rolls to the trumpets of a malefactor's toll
As death elects the living, and our blood's impure
But so appears the judgement
Which rejects and anathematises your own children
And with envy for, we fall disgraced
Inverting loyalty and acts of love
To neither inherit the earth nor ascend
As we follow the calamity into its cage
But when the beast returns and the fallen sons repent
Will I stay deserving of my soul
Or will I be deceived, where fire swarms the lake
To never again, find my way home
