- - - INFAMY - - -


Upon the cusp of tragedy
Is eternity steeped in misery

Unsung villains and shallow heroes
Become the stain on the blight
Tarnished fortunes and left hand zeros
Fuck the world and cast me from your holy light

No choice but to seek redemption
Within cemeteries of damnation

Standing at the end of the Earth
With bleeding hands, kneeling in dirt
The picture cannot be clearer
I see you in the mirror

Behold the face of infamy
Beaten black and blue, left in misery

Biased judgment and lovely slaughter
Paint the canvas with arteries
Gather up your sons and daughters
The price of Hell is a sacrifice for me

Hollow within your conviction
Marching forward to extermination

Standing at the end of the Earth
With bleeding hands, kneeling in dirt
The picture cannot be clearer
I see you in the mirror

Tattooed with
Poisoned thorns
With no time
Left to mourn
Locked out in
Raging storms
With no time
To lay torn

To stand before the precipice
Watching the blackness of the abyss
The picture cannot be clearer
I see you in the mirror

Standing at the end of the Earth
With bleeding hands, kneeling in dirt
The picture cannot be clearer
I see you in the mirror
