A Slow, Agonising Rapture Lyrics


The saviours have a new solution

To rid us of the pain of life

A promise, exceeding expectation

Ascension with no compromise

Follow their cause, fight in their wars

A prize for those who win

Share out your gold, pay with your soul

Watch as your new life begins

(Chorus)

Every corner that you cut, builds a debt to consequence

When you see the end in sight, then it rears its ugly head

Now you come to realise, all the lies of heartless men

You're no better off than us, now you're just as doomed as them

Desperation for an answer

For the suffering to end

Corrupted hearts can always sense this

Now with claws out, they descend

Pain multiplied, a world horrified

By hands to set them free

A massacred race, brought face to face

With what they sought to flee

(Chorus)

Commence the Rapture, the end has come

Panic, hysteria

The surging tide, the human stampede

Crushing, destroying

Death by what we built

Falling, disaster

Power dies, and buildings crumble

Chaos, ruin

Swallowed by the filth

Fire, smoke

Bodies crushed and immolated

Injured, dying

So little time to repent

Every corner that you cut, builds a debt to consequence

When you see the end in sight, then it rears its ugly head

They gave what you wanted, but not at all how you'd expect

A slow, agonising rapture, was it worth it in the end?
