Nigh Swiftly Armageddon

Spend your soul on my time
Take my hand, stand at my side
Whisper pleasant nothings in my mind
Waste with me, just waste away
Lay here, with me, in the worlds decay
As the tanks tiptoe nigh just yonder
I already know
Nothing matters

Panic in their eyes
Tears and fear and torment
Pain fire and zesty
They and their flesh so easily relent
It is nothing but a meal to the evil
In a palate never sated
An appetite never content
For empty sins
Innocent blood needlessly repents

I wear masks of stillness
Remain a shadow that skirts madness
Tired eyes, and vengeful claws
Hungry, angry
For the injustices already ratified
In bleeding laws, deaths caused for progress
Of the gold purse forged toward nothingness
Meaningless
And I hear the war upon us
Exploding in political bombs before my eyes
Lies and underhand kept just under a threatening glance
Careful plot, ribbons and bows on a bloody lance

So many are senseless
Mindless cattle
Fed on the grasses
The green leaves them blind
Keeping their eyes to the line
Foolish, trusting masses
Till the hammer falls
Till the blades of martial efficacy pull them apart
All will cry then
And no one will listen
And no one will care…

All for empty sins
That innocent blood is recompense
Fools, and tyrants to rule them
Single thought
Single file
So sit with me awhile
As the world falls away
Brother kills brother
And lover crucifies lover

You can be my friend
Till the end
Nigh, swiftly
Nigh, swiftly
Today is all we have left
Of the freedom we once so reverently kept
So stay with me
Waste away with me
For I already know
In these moments of silence before the death blow
Nothing else matters
Just these moments
That we are together
Hearing the thunder
As the world tears itself assunder
