Monuments, Mick Gordon - Cardinal Red lyrics

Go forth, kill everything you see
Abhor all the life I see before me

Born to raid the world of
All it's natural beauty
No remorse for those who fall in misery
Slaves to the irrational
With fear as your compass
Self-inflicted cannibals in monochrome

You called me fiction, dismissive
Failed to listen
Now I will show you that I am real
More than affliction, this is a crucifixion
Of everything you hold dear

Now rot away
In the midst of an endless night
We are the dark
There's no escape
As the light's fading from the sky
We are the dark

Through the life of your deepest fears
I will show you that I am real

You preach repentance
But avoid atoning for your sins
So I will take all that you have
And all you've ever been
Within the thralls of cardinals
No one is innocent
Spilling the blood of those you love
This pain is permanent

A hypocritical nation of ignorance
Sworn to eradicate all of existence
Kneel before your fate
Wrought by the hands of God
Now I bring your death

Just rot away, there's no escape
We are the dark
Just rot away, there's no escape

Now rot away
In the midst of an endless night
We are the dark
There's no escape
As the light's fading from the sky
We are the dark

Born to raid the world of all
It's natural beauty
No remorse for those who fall in misery
Born to raid the world of all
It's natural beauty
No remorse for those who fall in misery
Born to raid the world of all
It's natural beauty
No remorse for those who fall in misery
