Ascent To Decadence

Well, people have called him a liar
 Since the beginning of time
 Yeah, keeper of endless desire
 Leading the way for the blind
 He stands at the foot of the mountain
 Dwells by the shore of the sea
 Yeah, he cries at the forces about him
 Pleading to let him be free
 Ascent to decadence
 The punishment for sloth
 When spirits rise
 And they're denied
 They fade and die
 They die
 Prosper on tarnished illusion
 Taking the easy way out
 Trust in a shallow solution
 Add one more miss to the count
 Ascent to decadence
 The punishment for sloth
 When spirits rise
 And they're denied
 They fade and die
 ♪
 Perilous quest for the timeless planet
 Weight of the world on your back
 Reach for the skies
 Where your fortunes are kept
 Don't let your demons betray you
 And send you to demise
