An age that was golden at the edge of collapse Messengers of the father, corrupted and trapped Abandoned through slumber, a time of such grief People cry out for mercy, but they shall not receive Under the reign of an unfit king The start of a new dark age now begins Save us from apocalyptic sin Now deliver us Deliver us now From the schism of faith Those who bow to the maker And who follow the wraith We're slipping away And turning to dust Tell me you'll stay Before we crumble to rust Death and decay Until you're crawling in the dark Claw your way to the surface at the start of an age Killing for bloodsport, a sentinel slave Sent to the frontline, an endless crusade An unholy war against a timeless rage Under the reign of an unfit king The start of a new dark age now begins Save us from apocalyptic sin Now deliver us Deliver them To the end they deserve Watch them beg for forgiveness As they all burn We're slipping away And turning to dust Tell me you'll stay Before we crumble to rust Death and decay Until you're crawling in the dark
