Lyrics
Green was my deceit-like fickle embers to a flame
How came I to this?- So many faces without name
Final moments of a hundred eyes-
Witness sacrifice divine

There’s no justice-no retribution for our crimes

Sweet was my descent-Indulgence in the blackest eyes
Mercy from a god- Corruption was complete my friend
Hearing nothing but the lamb’s shrill cry
Witness sacrifice divine

There’s no justice-no retribution for our crimes

Cruelty in defeat-Receive this fallen angel
Empty are the words-this bitter silence holds no solace
No proportion to the pain we bring-none to make us feel the same

There’s no justice-no retribution for our crimes
Only torment-from within a fractured mind
