The Cleansing - August Burns Red.lrc

LRC Lyrics download
[00:17.736]I watched you from the sky
[00:21.737]As populations rise
[00:25.440]Feasting on Earth like flies
[00:29.157]Ensuring your demise
[00:33.412]Generations repeating the pattern
[00:36.864]Their stories told but never changed their minds
[00:40.580]A life of excess, keep feeding the glutton
[00:44.563]Bask in filth like a hoard of swine
[00:48.273]Come now, watch the fall
[00:51.735]You begged for relief, now I bring you the cleansing
[00:55.723]Come now, watch the fall
[00:59.445]A plague of contempt, a down pouring of pain
[01:19.372]I’ve watched you from the sky
[01:23.089]As the impoverished die
[01:27.080]Pay no heed to their cries
[01:30.816]Now tremble as I rise
[01:54.978]Feel my pestilent hands
[01:58.717]Pernicious touch
[02:00.560]My ruinous arms embracing you
[02:04.554]My blade to the hoard
[02:06.404]Avenging the dirt, I’ll spare but few
[02:11.719]It takes but one to make
[02:15.439]A spark to emanate
[02:19.421]The masses, soon to wake
[02:23.143]Their voices resonate
[03:12.571]Exposed for who I am
[03:14.425]No more hiding in the shadows
[03:16.296]I’m praised by the weeds
[03:18.147]I’m cursed to the gallows
[03:20.017]A hero of the heathens
[03:21.860]I’m a pillar of despair
[03:23.986]A vast and vacant chasm of darkness
[03:26.640]You’ll find me there
[03:35.148]You’ll find me there
[03:43.911]As I move on through the hoard
[03:48.964]Insistent on spreading my rage
[03:51.624]Underneath black dirt and dried up tears
[03:56.667]Their faces begin to change
[04:14.986]A man rose to his feet
[04:18.440]His temper refused defeat
[04:22.428]A song for the runaway
[04:26.422]The people, they heard him say
[04:30.409]“Take back your voice
[04:32.795]Lift your heads
[04:35.461]And focus your eyes on the sky
[04:38.645]Our time must not yet end
[04:42.106]Together we will mend
[04:56.198]We will mend
[05:05.493]Our time must not yet end
[05:08.956]Together we will mend
[05:13.195]This song’s for you my friends
[05:16.905]This time, these lives, this world
[05:21.957]Is ours to tend”
[06:41.955]From the throne to the thorns
[07:00.556]I’ve watched you from the sky
[07:04.282]As the sun starts to rise
[07:08.000]Revealing my disguise
[07:12.219]I can finally close my eyes
[07:15.398]Come now, watch my fall
[07:22.844]Come now, watch my fall
[07:30.542]Come now, watch my fall
[07:35.067]My deceit created defiance
[07:38.518]Come now, watch my fall
[07:42.250]My treachery led to their triumph
text lyrics
I watched you from the sky
As populations rise
Feasting on Earth like flies
Ensuring your demise
Generations repeating the pattern
Their stories told but never changed their minds
A life of excess, keep feeding the glutton
Bask in filth like a hoard of swine
Come now, watch the fall
You begged for relief, now I bring you the cleansing
Come now, watch the fall
A plague of contempt, a down pouring of pain
I’ve watched you from the sky
As the impoverished die
Pay no heed to their cries
Now tremble as I rise
Feel my pestilent hands
Pernicious touch
My ruinous arms embracing you
My blade to the hoard
Avenging the dirt, I’ll spare but few
It takes but one to make
A spark to emanate
The masses, soon to wake
Their voices resonate
Exposed for who I am
No more hiding in the shadows
I’m praised by the weeds
I’m cursed to the gallows
A hero of the heathens
I’m a pillar of despair
A vast and vacant chasm of darkness
You’ll find me there
You’ll find me there
As I move on through the hoard
Insistent on spreading my rage
Underneath black dirt and dried up tears
Their faces begin to change
A man rose to his feet
His temper refused defeat
A song for the runaway
The people, they heard him say
“Take back your voice
Lift your heads
And focus your eyes on the sky
Our time must not yet end
Together we will mend
We will mend
Our time must not yet end
Together we will mend
This song’s for you my friends
This time, these lives, this world
Is ours to tend”
From the throne to the thorns
I’ve watched you from the sky
As the sun starts to rise
Revealing my disguise
I can finally close my eyes
Come now, watch my fall
Come now, watch my fall
Come now, watch my fall
My deceit created defiance
Come now, watch my fall
My treachery led to their triumph
