A Great Mistake - Black Crown Initiate

I, the burning arrow for the other shore

And seething with a callous rage

A sacred object with a hollow core

And actor on an empty stage

We from the shadow will extend our hands

And turn our gaze towards the flame

The pathways darken as the poison spreads

We languish in this land of waste

I wish for a great mistake

To carry us away

And for an old beginning

Where everything’s the same

May this strip our minds away

And lead us to our early graves;

Contorted and exhausted faces

Soiled and ashamed

Writhe

Your brittle sanctum where your madness grows

A crumbling heart cursed by faith

Within, our visions are like fractured glass

We lick the venom from the blade

The red moon rises as the black rain falls

Revealing the blood upon our hands

The past we harken as the gateways close

Release the plague upon the lands

We saw the signs

And we towed the line

We’re lost reflections of forgotten time

Realizing, despising

I wish for a great mistake

To carry us away

And for an old beginning

Where everything’s the same

May this strip our minds away

And lead us to our early graves;

Contorted and exhausted faces

Soiled and ashamed
