lyrics

I have wandered the sands
Beneath the crimson sun
The curse upon this land
Cannot be undone

Choke upon the dust of empires
Taste naught but ash
A bitter struggle that ends unmarked
Sunbleached bones upon the sand
Nothing survives without a psychic cost
Feel the flame, the burning pain
The anguish of paradise lost

Millenia!
Of avarice and greed
Has destroyed!
A world too dry to bleed
Tyrant kings!
Cling to twisted empires
Civil slaves!
Toil towards demise

How long can we survive upon this wounded world?
When faced with starvation, we prey upon ourselves

Pray for rain, death awaits
Pray for death without pain

Pray for rain, death awaits
Pray for death, Pray for Death.

Slavers come from what they call civilization
Petty serfs that together bring devastation
Scavengers: tools without volition
A pack of starving dogs bringing down a lion

This is the role of man:
The pawns of tyrant lords
The empires will expand
Until this world is gone
