To This Very Hour
Conscripted to debauchery
I've wasted all remorse
Buried safe it rots away
Back to its' violent Host
Lovelorn manic thing
My voice archaic sound
What is happening
Oh Lord of Thorny Crown?
Hell has bade me welcome
So I martial plans
To denude myself of virtue
Like a soldier can
Drunk with murderous rage
Drunk with newfound power
Such the human stage
To this very hour.
