On Poisoned Ground

[Intro]
No choir will sing tonight

[Verse 1]
Can you hear the roaring thunder
That cracks the heavens' skies?
To unleash the blazing fury
Of the ancient looming fires
To sear the throat that sings
Of tranquility and bliss

[Chorus]
No choir will sing tonight
But behold the cries
Of strangled hope
For no love can match
The beauty of despair
No light shines here

[Verse 2]
Can you hear the graceful [?]
Of the old and cunning snake?
Which [?]
Even the purest cannot break
May your desires fill the hearts
Of the holiest of men

[Bridge]
The fire that burns the flesh
The sound of earthly cries
The void beneath the void
The face of wrath divine

Come, come read
[?] one of holy demise
Bring on the poison crown
For death still lies

[Chorus]
No choir will sing tonight
But behold the cries
Of strangled hope
For no love can match
The beauty of despair
No light shines here
