Confessing a Murder

7 sorrows, 7 swords pierce through hollow embers
A fainting chant arise and multiply
Majestic resonance, echo, crumbling to dust
My sin, the sin for which I’m greatly cursed

The pagan screech from the beat of raven’s wings
Resounds against the star-encrusted sky

So rise, oh man, stand up and be joyful
For pain you shall have in abundance
The only time of peace is when we’re at war
Bringing death to a life
That will die for torture

Those who cry, please, we never wished it so
They shall be the first to die

When the rivers finally cease to flow
But with the blood you cried to receive
And the land gives nothing but the bodies
Of the slain who did try
To escape through a locked window

He weeps, laments, surrenders all his miracles
Quickly, come out of the shadow of the cross
Has fate snuck in and mounted upon my body?
Sadly something in my heart does not wish to be cured

Far beyond heaven and earth
Empty space comes to an end
This I confess to you

When will we finally be satisfied?
Only with the light of battle in our eyes
Our revolution is against the inhumane world
I feel poisoned I die in your arms
Send my soul through twilight to heaven

This is like confessing a murder
