Lyrics:
This is hell
This is betrayel

breath is trembling
the body relieved
death conceived after lust received
Repentance dies as eyelids close
waiting for the final stroke

The face I meet in search for trust
Beholding me with a traitor’s eyes
The lips I feel upon my cheek
proclaming all the traitor’s lies

Repeat the lies I wish to hear
All the fraud I refused to fear
And while you feast upon this well of sin
Still I embrace
This faith is dead

This is pain
This is refrain

Eyes refuse to turn their gaze
Forced to endure within this daze
Sophism reigns, behold: the man
Ashes to ashes, flesh to flesh

Our hands into this bowl they sink
This chalice now is yours to drink
A toast to this iniquity
ruined by your own decree

Repeat the lies I wish to hear
All the fraud I refused to fear
And while you’re caught in this veil of sin
Still I embrace
This faith is dead

I roamed this fields in search for you
To find a wreck of shame and emptiness
Like a waste of broken dreams
Dangling in the glowing autumn sun

Repeat the lies I wish to hear
All the fraud I refused to fear
And while you’re caught in this veil of sin

I will refrain

Rebuke the lies I wish to hear
All the fraud depart from me
And while you feast upon this rope of sin

I will refrain
„The mourning of the world works death“
