Becoming The Archetype - The Sacrament lyrics
[Becoming The Archetype - The Sacrament lyrics]
Though your failures bind you
This death will not define you
Rise renew
Extract the water from the body
Drink consume
Absorb the life within the blood
Move regain
New life to animate the flesh
Go and reclaim the planet
They took his life in a jealous rage
He exposed their inadequacies
And shined a light upon their failures
Unblemished flesh a painful reminder
Retrieved the capsule from the ocean's grasp
Co-opted systems to complete their task
The laid the corpse inside the metal frame
Connected tubes and wires to
The lifeless veins
Not a single drop reclaimed was wasted
And when the sacrament was finished
The capsule closed and began to rise
Pierced the clouds and completely vanished
Veiled in obscurity
Hope was gone
The soul displaced
Clothed in his purity
A new day dawns
The past erased
It was a strange and dreadful strife
The day that life and death contended
The victory remained with life
The reign of death was ended
The ancient writing plainly says
Death is swallowed up in death
Now it's sting is lost forever
Now it's sting is lost forever
This death will not define you
Rise renew
Extract the water from the body
Drink consume
Absorb the life within the blood
Move regain
New life to animate the flesh
Go and reclaim the planet
They took his life in a jealous rage
He exposed their inadequacies
And shined a light upon their failures
Unblemished flesh a painful reminder
Retrieved the capsule from the ocean's grasp
Co-opted systems to complete their task
The laid the corpse inside the metal frame
Connected tubes and wires to
The lifeless veins
Not a single drop reclaimed was wasted
And when the sacrament was finished
The capsule closed and began to rise
Pierced the clouds and completely vanished
Veiled in obscurity
Hope was gone
The soul displaced
Clothed in his purity
A new day dawns
The past erased
It was a strange and dreadful strife
The day that life and death contended
The victory remained with life
The reign of death was ended
The ancient writing plainly says
Death is swallowed up in death
Now it's sting is lost forever
Now it's sting is lost forever
