Seraphim System - Contrition (feat. Dark Machine Nation)

Da pacem, Domine, in diebus nostris
Quia non est alius
Qui pugnet pro nobis
Nisi tu Deus noster
A single rose unfurled, withering
Darkness to dawn, day into night
Thorns which both pierce and protect
Like birth and death's divine dialect
Mythic tales of a higher mission
Met with worldly skepticism
Will I embrace the abyss with a final sigh
Or rage against the dying of the light
My rod and spear raised high
A futile hope or road to redemption?
Out of the depths I cry to you
But hold my ground as war drums thunder
We sinners, grave pretenders
Laden with the burden of a thousand nations
Kneeling on stone with hands together
In absolution and contrition
I am the earth and the fire and the sun
I am a battle that's yet to be won
I am corruption and chaos and greed
I am the void and a stone which can bleed
Bow your head
Bow your head
Bow your head
Bow your head
Show me your nightmares, there is your strength
All that you hide is the peace that you seek
Deep down behind all of the lies
There is a monster that begs for the light
Howl at the moon if you think it will free you
Dance in the dark if your heart makes it so
Your blood is hot and your will is rising
Rising to make you fight for the throne
Come out of hiding
Become the beast you know you are
Come out of hiding
Take your throne among the stars
I am the earth and the fire and the sun
I am a battle that's yet to be won
I am corruption and chaos and greed
I am the void and a stone which can bleed
