lyrics

WHEN THEIR BANNER HAS FALLEN

A torrent of unbridled darkness
A storm that no soul could endure
Drowning out the moans and the sirens
In the city of the tainted redeemer

The walls of decay that now face us
As corpses stares in awe
The serenity that comes after slaughter
Permeates the putrid air

The signs of suicide en masse
As the gates buckled and fell
Frozen in screams for redemption
Families entangled in rot

Razor wire mannequins dangle
Over barricades painted in soot
Halos of festering vermin
As traitors leads the way

A harrowing epitaph
Written in sprawling mass graves
Black sky tinted in crimson
A victory march through hell

Factions of the final commitment
Harbingers of a global war
A declaration of our intention
As peace rides on bloodstained wings

The foundations of hope and salvation
Now scattered like withered leaves
Upon the altar of failed convictions
Rests now the head of their priest

The bitter sight of stagnation
The horrid stench of defeat
Still my heart beats to the joy
Of ruthless retaliation


When their banner has fallen
And the embers swirls at our feet
The white flag of surrender
A bloody rag in the street
Ruins burning like torches
Twisted shadows dance
When the banner has fallen
For a creed that stood no chance


Death is their only true ally
Death is their only true friend
Their treasures are ours to pillage
And their bones are ours to grind

Endless hostile orations
Through a siege that lasted an age
A stalemate that never would cease
Broken at the dawn of the vulture

Revel in the spoils of the victor
A stain har been wiped from this earth
This autumn has lasted a lifetime
It’s time for the snow to fall

Nothing shall longer remain
Not their memory nor their cursed name
When the banner has fallen
and their world comes to and end
