The Great Gift Of The World

If it all went away tomorrow
 ♪
 Would there be anything worthy of the salvage
 Or would the world be swallowed by the sea
 ♪
 The blissful silence in return to harmony
 And would there be any need for possession
 Cultured regret
 The loss of progress
 The passing of the flesh
 Marrow to market
 Burn for the treasure
 Just remember the children who won't have it any better than this
 What has been left for them
 Where there once was hope
 Now there is only pain
 The great gift of the world
 ♪
 Have you felt the hope leave you?
 The guiding light
 It recedes as fast as all
 Dark days
 Dark days
 And they welcome you into a body
 Beaten and raw
 So polluted and vile
 Broken dreams and fractured minds
 Twisted tongues
 Swallow the blood back
 They swallow the light
 We drink of the wine
 And eat of the bread
 But still we're starving
 Undeserving of death
 No, we will not
 No, we will not find heaven
 We will not find our place
 We will not find the light
 We will not find our way
 Where there once was hope
 Now there is only pain
 The great gift of the world
 In life
 It rots a man from the inside
 In death
 We escape an existence in vain
 And in time
 Where could we hide
 When the soul is the cancer
 It consumes
 It yearns for more
 Conditioned to thrive in the slaughter
 Our sons and daughters will mourn for the martyrs we betrayed
 ♪
 A murderer's mind
 A murderer's hands
 Cursed
 I walk with man
 Covered in the blood
 The blood of the lamb
 ♪
 Cursed
 I walk with man
 Covered in the blood
 The blood of the lamb
 ♪
 Cursed
 Now you see the hope leave you
 Was the guiding light ever there at all?
 Or were the flames
 The bellows of hell
 The calling for the desperate
 The symbol of the fall
 No, we will not find heaven
 We will not find our place
 We will not find the light
 We will not find our way
 Where there once was hope
 Now there is only pain
 The great gift of the world
