Eight Thousand Sorrows Deep

It is begun
We are become the vengeance
Awoken by a call
To shed the blood of generations

Invoke the cleansing
The dawn of a new mourning
Bring forth the lasting scars
Save your sentiment for the extinct
Genocide, a human theme
Redemption, a shallow dream?

Devastation gathers
Drench this soil with tears
Humanity at zero
Remorse, shattered
The conscience wronged
Let the risen speak for the fallen

We dig compassion's grave
Eight thousand sorrows deep

Invoke the cleansing
The dawn of a new mourning
Bring forth the lasting scars
Save your sentiment for the extinct
Genocide, a human theme
Redemption, a shallow dream?

Evolution's blood-stained crown
Shall be ours to keep
We dig compassion's grave
Eight thousand sorrows deep

Devastation gathers
Drench this soil with tears
Humanity at zero
