Hymn for the Wretched

Lyrics

We are the blackness of the night
 Cold wind that cuts your flesh
 We are the enemy praying for your certain death
 We are what was, will be forevermore
 In the stillest hours we awaken, enshrouded in the dark
 Children of the blackest seed
 Reared on murder and deceit
 We are the thorns of human woe
 His will be done
 To the humble maggots
 To the putrid flies
 Where death and hatred lurk
 We shall survive
 To the diseases
 To the sharpest knives
 When daybreak no more comes
 We shall arise
 We are the sickness, the stench of the deceased
 Your father's secret shame
 Our violent wrath shall be unleashed
 We feast on blood and the weakness of your kind
 From the haunted depths we have arisen to slither as the snake
 Children of the blackest seed
 Reared on murder and deceit
 We are the thorns of human woe
 His will be done
 To the humble maggots
 To the putrid flies
 Where death and hatred lurk
 We shall survive
 To the diseases
 To the sharpest knives
 When daybreak no more comes
 We shall arise
 Lurking legion of the obscene
 Unheard forever, in between, unbound
 The liars in wait
 Our being you forsake
 Whispers upon the winds, profane
 Unheard, the wretched and the insane
 Unbound, forgotten, ignored
 
 ♪
 The ugliness abhorred
 The razor; the bullet; the length of rope
 Our tools are numerous, our hatred overflows
 The razor; the bullet; the length of rope
 A lapse of sanity plummets to earth below
 
 We are the blackness of the night
 Cold wind that cuts your flesh
 We are the enemy praying for your certain death
 We are what was, will be forevermore
 In the stillest hours we awaken, enshrouded in the dark
 Lurking legion of the obscene
 Unheard forever, in between, unbound
 The liars in wait
 Our being you forsake
 Whispers upon the winds, profane
 Unheard, the wretched and the insane
 Unbound, forgotten, ignored
 The ugliness abhorred
 We are the sliver in your god's feeble hand
 During the silent hours, the shadows we command
 We're the undying insect, from the deepest cracks we came
 For aeons we have lurked and for aeons we shall remain!
