Hakahn - The Corrupted Throne Lyrics

Drain the blood and char the flesh
Blackened soul at thy behest
Sever head and hew the bone
Ascend now to corrupted throne
Your shepherd's a serpent
Spewing forth his lies
Your shepherd's the serpent
I see now through his eyes
Your shepherd's a serpent
Yet I'm the one despised
Your shepherd's the serpent
I bring forth his demise
Like moths to the flame he drew them in
With cunning words and a silver tongue, he said
"Follow me, I hold the key to your salvation"
Empty words etched in stone
All opposed must now atone
For only his grace can see them through
This, then, is when they come for you
This, then, is when they come for you
He set them upon the altar
This bargain
Fit for slaughter
They gave him every pardon
This traitor
This holy martyr
Ascension to a corrupted throne
Path of a coward: lifeblood for power
Your shepherd's a serpent
Spewing forth his lies
Your shepherd's the serpent
I see now through his eyes
Your shepherd's a serpent
Yet I'm the one despised
Your shepherd's the serpent
With me now he dies
Nefarious purpose and unjust demise
All hear the echoes of their final cries
Haunted forever by the demon's reprise
Screams that linger in eternal night
Tortured victims of a man deified
Hide in the shadows
A demon to depose
Impaled on a broken cross
Impaled on a broken cross
Impaled on a broken cross
Impaled on a broken cross
The demon's gone but evil remains
The demon's gone but nothing's changed
The demon's gone but darkness remains
The demon's gone but still he reigns
