The Rubble Of Glory Lyrics - Singles - The Seventh Gate (the 7th Gate)

handing out handjobs and fingerfucks 

to the poor 

traces of incest that appease the masses 

hints of abortion 

linger in the smoke 

that emits from the rubble of glory 

a passionless murder is whispered 

just as silence has once chilled our streets 

children weep heavily 

awaiting the apocalypse 

i once shared a vision with a holy man 

we danced in house of God 

sharing silence 

we watched the last fire 

fizzle out to nothingness 

i await the last drop of hope 

but my cries cannot be heard 

over the famine and the filth and the wreckage 

as the world as we once knew it collides 

with the wars of God and demon 

hate and love 

death and life 

sounds of thousands marching to the graves 

stenches of vomit and emaciated lives combine 

causing my nostrils to flare 

and my heart to race 

is there no escape from this wretched place? 

is there no escape from this wretched place? 

is there no escape from this wretched place?
