The Gloom In The Corner
Warfare
[Intro]
In the final moments
A hand reaches out from the black
And as it touches my skin
My buried past unlocks;
I remember everything
[Verse 1]
I walk the desolate plain between time and space;
A god's hand guided the way
I’m shown a past I've never known
Where a violent tyranny reigned
And as I look at the time between then and now;
I can see humanity hasn't changed;
We kill what we love
Despite the fear of losing it forever
[Chorus]
Wе don’t change, we evolvе the weapons we make
To destroy everything and ourselves
The colour of warfare bleeds a shade of grey
I know cause I'm the one who cut the vein
[Verse 2]
One of seven
I pillaged the land in ways familiar to now
We traded sticks for swords and swords for guns
And guns for the skies that drop Hail Mary's with a missile strike
[Breakdown]
Vanity reigns the weak
And destroys gods who oppose;
Not even Christ is safe
I watched your god die
He didn't die in vain, he pleaded for his life
I drove the nails through his fucking hands
And watched him bleed with a smile on my face
[Pre-Chorus]
Despite my fealty, I was struck down by the king;
He killed what he loved in fear of losing everything
[Chorus]
We don't change, we evolve the weapons we make
To destroy everything and ourselves
The colour of warfare bleeds a shade of grey
I know cause I'm the one who cut the vein
I'm the one who cut the...
[Pre-Breakdown]
I am not the first Gloom and I won't be the last
I’m not true to much, but my word
And my word will bring down hell
King Baphicho will die by me
On his knees in front of a mass grave
Of those who opposed me
[Breakdown]
No god is above me
Buried beneath the sand
I slept for what feels like eternity
I’ll make good on my word
My word will bring hell down
No god is above me
