A Leper's Elegy Lyrics

The years crawled slowly in my prison of flesh

Where masters whipped dead skin to the bone

In spiteful chains I faced the purging of thoughts

A road to suffering for lepers and pariahs

We

Enslaved

Reduced

To nothing

Along the crooked path of chaos

The fork-tongued prophets spoke their truths divine

One madman's legacy for us to fulfill

The rope that's tied around our necks

Swallowed by fear in a never-ending cycle

Shackled and chained will we ever be ourselves

United by night and divided by dawn

Bow down

And fall in line

Give in

We sold our souls

For all the bleeding hearts

Whose redemption never came

For the ones who sought the flame

But lost their way

And when the darkness devours the light

We are as one

We welcome the night so pure and cold

Bow down

And fall in line

Give in

We sold our souls
