The Oath

Pissed again all over your protest
Another lump added onto the fire
Give away your position in service
To a world where no saints are desired

The dark side you behold
A cruel tale untold
A wretched growth in its place
To poison yourself with mistakes
Its tide will only loosen in time
A hollow reflection for both you and I
No resolution in false restitution
Betrayal in its place

I won't bow or bend will to anybody
This cage can't hold on to me
I won't break or bend my will to any obsessed darkness
That is calling to me

The darkness is calling to me
I will take this cold embracing
Feel it shaping
Changing me in eternal bliss
It shapes me in eternal bliss

On through the darkness, lost hope is found
In silence no longer, the mute make a sound
Break through the horror from which we were born
We'll burn through the ashes, embrace the old dawn

Marching ever forward, too determined to look back
Kicking up our hallowed ground, press harder 'til it cracks
Marching ever forward, too empowered to look back
The battle lines are drawn and in the end I'll take it back
Marching ever forward, too relentless to look back
Weapons drawn in strength, the numbers best for the attack

I won't bow or bend will to anybody
This cage can't hold on to me
I won't break or bend my will to any obsessed darkness
That is calling to me

On through the darkness, the light has been found
In silence no longer, the mute now make a sound
