The Behest of Serpents - Cascading

Barren
Of children and land
Consumed by this cancer
Our heads in the sand
Deafened
By silence above
Devoid of all meaning
God's absence of love
We cling to echoes of humanity
The sacrifice opens the gate to ruin
Offer yourself if you crave the void
A hecatomb to appease the old gods
A cut of the throat to increase our odds
Cascading
This river of blood
An offering to mother earth
Gaia
Your children cry out
Begging for harvest in father's drought
Like moths to the flame
We sacrifice for rain
Abandoned
A desolate place
Beginning of the end
Of the human race
Oblation
Our heads on the stand
Blade at the ready
Our hearts in our hands
A curse upon this earth gives birth to nothing
A sterile shadow of our former selves
We offer our souls in desperation
The only hope to rescue our world
Cascading
This river of blood
An offering to mother earth
Gaia
Your children cry out
Begging for harvest in father's drought
Close your eyes and pray
Or open them and see
We offer up our lives
For her to hear our pleas
Father has turned away
To mother we must reach
Submit our souls to burn
To her we do beseech
Remember
The ways of the old
So we may bear children
And remake the mold
Surrender
Our lives to her grace
Humanity reclaiming
Its rightful place
Like moths to the flame
We sacrifice for rain
Behold the flood
A downpour of blood
May it gift birth
From mother earth
