I lie in wait for you
My enemy eclipsed
The first and final warning
A fatal catalyst
Fire wrapped in clouds
You've come to send me home
A falsified ascension
Thine kingdom come

The fight
It blazes on
Your cause is not my own
I am not the only one

You've crossed the rubicon
And now you're a dog of war
And no man's friend
You've crossed the rubicon now

Wait
(I recall when we were like each other)
What have you
(I remember it all)
Done?
(You were closer to me than a brother)
What have you become?

You shed their blood
In sanctimonious obligation
Without empathy or thought
And you held your soul to ransom
The people made senseless
Under hail of friendly-fire
Now they wander the wilderness
Extinguished by their own decline

You'll never feel
You'll never be innocent again

Dig for bones
Lick your wounds
Your reward
The leash remains
Heal
And come when you're called
From our command
Into your grave

The hypocrisy of your liberty
Your security for us all
Insanity please its own defence
To deter the advance of the law
You and I
We're no different
We originate from the sword
I didn't want to single you out
But I'm relentless
