Via Crucis (the Way Of The Cross) Lyrics

Via Crucis (the Way Of The Cross) lyrics

[Lyrics: Albert Bell / Music: Forsaken]







I walk through barren corridors glistening



With a stench of a promised salvation



This sultry wilderness mourns



The grieving of a mother's supplication







Seraphic overtures inebriated



By the suffering of aeons of compromise



Here he is legion, heir-apparent to Apollyon's throne



Breathing the progeny of all lies







[Chorus]



Via crucis (The way of the cross)



My kingdom has come



Arcana lucis (arcane light)



Thy will be done







A resurrection conjured on altars of impunity



Scars of betrayal shrouded in a sanctimonius reliquary



Wine-made-incarnate in a chalice of iniquity



Graven effigies accolade a deception



Enshrined in consanguinity







As the twilight sleeps, I hear



the resuscitation of a withering womb



Christendom weeps, for the child of a virginal prostitution



Ascetic icons seep with the blood of dismal martyrdom



Subjugator of the meek, the spirit of man fades



in the eyes of the distant kingdom







Serpent hordes summon the cinnamon king



Venerating the vestiges of the lonesome crown



Babylon whores writhing in ecstasy



Procreating the seven seals of prophecy







[Chorus]



Via crucis (The way of the cross)



My kingdom has come



Arcana lucis (arcane light)



Thy will be done
