Of Gallows And Pyres Lyrics

Watch all the fires burn in anguish
This city of terrors has numbed me to the last
There is no light in all this darkness even though the brightness radiates
All this longing for better days, so useless and pathetic
One more protesting pursuit
To the gallows, to the pyres, we march together in each others shoes
We are not meant to see ourselves self-degraded and disemboweled
Hanged from their towers, we flood the city with our tears
And as far as I remember, we never had a chance to escape and to wither in our self-chosen solitude
The gods of mercy in their villas, they laugh and they slander in our long forgotten names
I rest my head on your shoulders
Crowned with rusted wire, I'll be your king and your slave
In our detention cells, we watch the days go by
Lost in our inner crypts, we persevere till we burn out
Till we burn out
And as far as I remember, we never had a chance to escape and to wither in our self-chosen solitude
And as far as I remember, we never had a chance to escape and to wither in our self-chosen solitude
