Torches Lyrics - Vii: Sturm Und Drang - Lamb Of God

The soul of the nation slowly withers (in the howl of the empty wind) 

As the spring lays, crushed beneath the hammer (the invisible flame) 

My vision sears the crowded square (as the mouth of injustice grins) 

This routed place (fire runs through my veins) 

I choose to expire 

You're all on the brink of compromise(as the steel in my nerve sets in) 

Mass concessions in defeated eyes (I carry the cries) 

A terrible kindness to break the thrall (in my end a new world begins) 

I strike the match (it's not me who dies) 

And let it fall 

Oppression, injustice, self-immolation 

I am the inferno I am legion 

Oppression, injustice, self-immolation 

I am the inferno I am legion 

I am 

I am 

I am 

I am the inferno 

I am 

I am 

I am 

I am legion 

Some run screaming 

Some sit silently 

An agonizing gift of charred humanity 

My footsteps 

They will echo through eternity 

A seismic scorching outcry of indignity 

I write my blackened name, carved into the wind 

I fill your hearts with rage 

I leave you ash and legend 

Fire runs through my veins 

Fire runs through my veins 

A terrible kindness to break the thrall (fire runs through my veins) 

I strike the match 

Fire runs through my veins 

Oppression, injustice, self-immolation 

I am the inferno I am legion 

Oppression, injustice, self-immolation 

I am the inferno I am legion 

I shall lay charge I am legion 

I am the inferno I am legion
