Of Masks And Martyrs Lyrics - Singles - Undying

as we bleed you feast on what is left 

of waking nightmares, prayers best left unsaid 

sinking inside of the beasts we shall be 

feeling desires buried, dreams best left to sleep 

suffer the absence of beauty to know 

years beaten down, passions unknown 

the bitterest ashes are the souls unwept tears 

walls of your heaven and pit of your fears 

the heavens will fall and stars rain down 

on the backs of the broken 

upon those whose beauty is spit upon 

whose desire you shit upon 

if this is what your life will take from me 

if this is what your world will make of me 

these words which we cannot speak 

for the fallen are lost through the absence of dreams 

in skies that are ever bright we cast wishes into the darkness 

for the stench of your heaven clings to me 

and the stars weep for my shame 

this long, dark age has given us but faded memory 

-and all the words we will not write 

-and all the dreams that die tonight 

-and all the love in hearts grown cold 

-and all the beauty never known 

as heavens winds are rancid sweet 

as angels breath of carrion reek 

suffer the children as they will dream 

as empty souls breed worthless ends 

as bitter hands stroke passions spent 

hearts burned to black with the fires of prayers for the end 

and the stars weep for my shame 

this long, dark age has given us the faded memory 

of passions spent - give me breath to face another day 

if this is what your life will take from me 

if this is what your world will make of me 

if this is what the world has made of me 

then let it live with the consequences
