Black rays spew down from the heavens

Burning rampant through the flaws of man

Holy servants sworn to guide us towards salvation

Now fallen angels leading us to sin

...leading us to sin

This fractured sect pierces through our conscience

Deliverance promised to stop our dark descent

This crowning vision, wrapped so tight around us

Chokes us all, as the thorns dig in

...as the thorns dig in

Symbolic burden of pain

We wash our hands of your stain

This crown will fall and choke us all

A noose of thorns, a noose of scorn

When judgement calls

Will you be absolved?

Will you find your way?

Or be strangled by your faith forever

Constrict and tighten around our necks

Bleeding wounds, drown from within

Poisoned souls forever damned

A noose of thorns to keep us pure
