This Apparatus Must Be Unearthed Lyrics

[Chorus]
I've been waiting for so long for someone to
Mend all the blame
I've been searching for so long for something to—
Anonymous, avenge my name, oh
Anonymous, avenge my name, oh

[Verse 1]
Came here on time, hope that it's not too late
Seen you at night, biting the frost of silence
Can you cure us of this fate?
Mock the litany in its face
Is that you, Moatilliatta?

[Chorus]
I've been waiting for so long for someone to
Mend all the blame
I've been searching for so long for something to—
Anonymous, avenge my name
Anonymous, avenge my name

[Verse 2]
Hex zero rouge, he'll hibernate no more
Altars run dry, prefect dictate final words
Does it sting of augur truth?
Was your temple left in ruins?
Is that you, Moatilliatta?

[Chorus]
I've been waiting for so long for someone to
Mend all the blame
I've been searching for so long for something to—
Anonymous, avenge my name, oh
Anonymous, avenge my name, oh

[Verse 3]
This is the altar, the one that you let me die in
On your knees, how you wept
Much like Omertà
Quiet has shielded all intent on the ground
It appears like a wrath
Avenging the lamb as bait
In a bed of nails you made
Who is this effigy?
Is there straw dressed in these fields?

[Pre-Chorus]
And now it won't be long

[Chorus]
I've been waiting for so long for someone to
Mend all the blame
I've been searching for so long, for something to—
Anonymous, avenge my name, oh
(I'll rain blood on this city, this city, this city)
Anonymous, avenge my name, oh
(I'll rain blood on this city, this city, this city)
