Ritual Of Condemnation
|
|
Oceans of madness darkened,
|
Alone on hell she rides,
|
Lichen, undead, and rotten,
|
Dripping and dignified.
|
She combs with violence upon the wailing storm,
|
This spectral ship of doomed purgation barrels on awry.
|
|
On stirring seas of salted blood,
|
Condemned to forge her sails forevermore,
|
Enslaved, her hull will never reach the shores
|
Damning these waters of irony filth
|
|
'Neath the stench of crimson winds,
|
Her sails of flesh betorn.
|
Red skeletons are oaring,
|
The plasma stains their bones.
|
Her rusting cannons fire blindly in the mist,
|
This haunted vessel lost and damned,
|
The prisoners of her endless quest.
|
A burial at ancient sea that cannot rest in fucking peace,
|
The crew of wraithlike revenants merely seek peace and reverence from purgatorial permanence.
|
Their cursed bondage has no end,
|
On they ride through the throes of endless night
|
Her will never dies,
|
|
[Solo]
|
|
The compass pointing straight to hell,
|
And that is where they're going.
|
Beaten by curling waves of red,
|
The storm,
|
No signs of slowing now.
|
|
On stirring seas of salted blood,
|
Condemned to forge her sails forevermore,
|
Enslaved, her hull will never reach the shores
|
Damning these waters of irony filth
|
|
Scabbed with the blood of ones they have killed,
|
The ghosts of war must soldier on.
