They parade me around in chains

The ritual to sentence years when we've only got days

One can only laugh when the affairs are so absurd

Nothing can be considered wrong when the lines are blurred

I gave the vermin the easy way out, no dread and no panic

Just their pointless life snuffed out

Yet i'm trapped within these walls

Loathed by all who have encountered me

As far as rats go, there's no difference between you and I

But at least I have a chance to witness the vermillion sky

To see all of your arms linked like the very shackles that hold me here

To see you atop the bridge but you're ensnared just like me

There is no escaping this

They rampant seas baying for another person so credulous

You've gained their attention, lead by another priest

Oh the things I should show them

So who is really free, as you're stuck inside a beacon

The light would make me blind

Begging for release and running from no one, I could only offer tranquility

So as you slip on down the stones, into the raging foam, rather you than me

Cascading towards the maelstrom, the foolish hounds behind you

If god was real then he'd make the tide take them

As their bodies begin to surface, suddenly it all seems worth it

To watch the zealots meet their end

I slump back down, to inhabit the ground and be pummelled out of existence.

The vermins end, turned to paste to begin again

The vermins end, all your creations down the drain

The vermins end, the fate of all good men

The vermins end and so the rot will descend
