---

Blood on my hands, fire in sky,

I hear them scream, I watch them die.

Steel in my grip, God in my mind,

Yet mercy's shadow stays behind.

The holy city bathed in red,

I walk through corpses of the dead.

This is the war, this is the way,

But every step I fade away.

Crimson rivers, burning eyes,

No salvation, only lies.

I kill, I bleed, I drown in sin,

Is this the way to enter in?

Swords are raised, the battle’s won,

Yet in my soul, the war’s not done.

Echoes whisper through the night,

A choir of ghosts, no end in sight.

I see their faces in my sleep,

Their hollow eyes, their wounds so deep.

I pray for peace, I beg for light,

But all I hear is endless night.

Oh Lord, I hear Your call,

But I am lost beyond the wall.
