When Darkness Reigns

My failure is so evident
And I cannot hide the torment
Face first to the earth
Plagued by the earthly mindset
I cannot escape my basement
Face first to the earth

Hands around my neck
I might as well bow in shame
Over matched, outwitted
Defeat is my only name
I believe everything you tell me
And you've got me convinced I'm guilty
I'd better close my eyes and sleep
Run away 'cause tomorrow's a better day

But this is your hour
When darkness reigns
But this is your hour
When darkness reigns
But this is your hour
When darkness reigns
But this is your hour

When darkness reigns across the channels and mediums
I feel the loss
Face to face with the possible death of dreams
Mental purity fades to the obscene
Hence the search for another crutch
Another void fill
Another cane to serve as much
And we'll mourn for the death of a brother lost
And we'll toast to the death of another farce
Have I lost the battle?
But have I lost the war?
Do I have what it takes to endure the setbacks
Ignore the scars

You'd have me adopt that suicide
You'd have me succumb without reply
But you forgot the thousand deaths I've died
You'd have me continue this pace
'Cause you'd like me to join your race
But that grave will be nothing but an empty space

Arise from the dead O sleeper
Prepare for the battle cry

'Cause this is the hour
When truth divides
'Cause this is the hour
When truth divides
'Cause this is the hour
When truth divides
'Cause this is the hour

When truth divides it's done
Revive the sick, the surge of blood
Grab a torch and we'll light and burn
Ignite offensives to claim the loss of sight
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
Release the fate of soul demise
And it's clear for you to understand
The smoke will clear and fill the land
And now the claims are made
Downcast eyes accompany shame
The chaos amassed against will redirect
To find a home anew
To face the depths

You've lost my enemy
Now taste defeat
Now taste your own saliva
'Cause you'll never quench the heat

Arise from the dead and wake
Arise from the dead
Arise from the dead and wake
Arise from the dead
