Shadows of Atlas - The Sins of Kings

Deep below
Where ground is hollow
Under the broken throne
And palace halls

We follow the trail of blood
And burnt out masses

To where the monsters crawled from
From mud and filth

Searching for an answer
Is there a way forward
Can we save ourselves
From evil within

They search for a saving grace!
A torch to burn the shadow within!
A silver bullet for the ravenous beast!
To slaughter the detractor!

The blood spilled must not be in vain
I shall be the one to seal this
Monster away

Within these dungeons
In ancient catacombs
Sleeping secrets speak
The sins of kings

In whispers we see
The truth of fallen heroes
The king once strong fell
Corrupted by evil

Is the truth better behind dying eyes?

Upon his grave
His shield shattered from sin
Calling to creatures below
Awaken the demon within

Is there an answer
A weakness to save
Humanity from this hatred
Crying for a flash of hope

We see the truth behind force fed lies
(The truth lies between two thicc thighs)

Rage from sky above
The godhood foretold
Ancient scripts whisper
Sharing legends of old

Strike down the fears
Strike down the anxieties
Use the fury from the heavens
Use the power of deities

The evil feared now appears
It shall hope to feast upon its enemy
The knights have only a single hope
Never enough without giving up the soul

The power is kept behind the lack of humanity

Extinguish what you are to become more

Burn the ashes of a soul within

Have you found the hope you sought
Digging through the dead for solace
I am an evil within I am invincible!
Fear that which you will not face!

I pull the sins of man to take form
Give me your fears and nightmares
I shall make them real!
To strike you down!

See before you a beast unlike any other!
It shall rage against your sword and shield!
Shatter and grind your wills!
Soon to feast upon brittle bones!

Do you feel the hope draining away!
In the eyes of this monster!
None can stand before it!
Death incarnate!

A brother dead
And hope waning
Another life gone
In the blink of an eye

Sing the song of vengeance
I feel a fire stoked by rage
Hopelessness give way to anger
Filled with astonishing fury

Rise, rise up
From far below
Rage against the dark
Bring down the beast!

War shall be waged!
Feel my wrath upon your flesh!
Feel my torment repaid!
Do you fear me demon!

Feel the fire in your bellies
Burn away all the fears that held you once before
Turn against this vile beast
And slay it with your might

War shall be waged!
Feel my wrath upon your flesh!

You cannot kill what you do not understand!
As I flee to consume above!
You shall waste away to be devoured!
Deep below the world you love!

Not a single strike shall scratch the beast!
Built from the fear and pain of man!
You cannot kill that which makes you!
All shall fall none can stand!

All around me
I can see my family burning
I cannot see a way forward
Against this creature before me

(Rage rage rage rage)
Give up give in give up give in

Call upon the godhood within!
Give up your hopes and dreams!
Attain the rage of sky beyond!
Burn away what soul you have left!

Rage against the demons within!
Burn the fear and terror once felt!
Forget the love and loss once held!
Strike down evil incarnate!

Inside the distraught mind of the indebted survivor, we find the power to be more than was found inside
