On the Steps of Ruin Lyrics


On your knees!

And so it comes to this

A final call to arms

Reason dies, drones awake

Retreat into your tribes

Vast opposing armies

Faith at war with faith

The gods will stand to judgment

The lambs will have their day

The pinnacle of weaponry

Intelligent design

We forged our own destruction

A fate wrought with our minds

Primal traits of fear and hate

Engulf the Earth in flames

We drown in the inferno

Till there’s no one left to blame

We meet on the steps of our ruin

Where we shall join the dead

Ravaged essence of a once proud Earth

Our end will greet us there

On the funeral pyres of ruin

The rancid clouds of death

A final harvest of souls to appease the gods

But God did not appear

And so we’ll rot inside our ruins

Alone we face the dark

No judgment, paradise or hell to take us home

Our home was here and now is lost

We are lost

All is turned to ashes

The dead sleep peacefully

The living in their torture

Await the night’s mercy

Pity the survivors

Condemned to earthly hell

We meet on the steps of our ruin

Where we shall join the dead

Ravaged essence of a once proud Earth

Our end will greet us there

On the funeral pyres of ruin

The rancid clouds of death

A final harvest of souls to appease the gods

But God did not appear

And so we’ll rot inside our ruins

Alone we face the dark

Burning flesh lights the way to tomorrow

The unslain await their first mourning sun
