Dreamscapes Of The Perverse - In Anguished Verse lyrics

I felt a change in this world

Where everything was damned

A sign of rebirth

Paradise found as I desert myself

From the walks of yesterday

To see beyond the horizon

I look to them - those who left behind

Their shattered dreams of life

Hoping to be saved

By someone stronger than myself

Why can't they feel the pain of dying?

Why can't they see me dying?

I reached for them - but I was left to die

I was deserted at the gates of the beyond

Forever imprisoned in my self

Lost among the forgotten shadows

In sight of immortality

So much has lust and narcissitc endeavors

Corrputed the soul

So much I've learned from them - the damned

Why can't they see they're dying?

Why can't they see you're dying?

No rest until I cleanse the world of living fallacy

Rage guide this incorrigible soul

To those who would abandon me

I am the sick I am the end

I am the plague which visits thee

Indocile hate breeds potent rage

As the dead declare war on humanity

For too long I've lain here in waiting

Waiting until now to strike!

The children of your sin

Shall burn in their beds

Those damned to be raised

Under the guise of your curse

Cruelly stricken from your lineage

Your progeny expunged

No tears taste sweeter

Than those wept In Anguished Verse

Under the domination of a forced regime

The noble in virtue will whore themselves to me

This dreadful seduction portrayed

In such tenebrous display

Innocence torn and lost so shamefully

solo - R. Daugherty

solo - R. Johnson

I reached for them - but I was left to die

I was deserted at the gates of the beyond

Forever imprisoned in my self

Lost among the forgotten shadows

In sight of immortality
