Emptiness by Thy Art Is Murder Lyrics

[Intro]
Born only of despair
Hope crumbles under the horrors we bear
Death into life, the flask of our idols
Spills poisonous smite upon their arrival
A river of ice meets a mountain of fire
All hope torn asunder by human desire

[Verse 1]
Under a serpent's tongue, the fruit of life
Heaven and hell cast from the flame and the flies
Back to the soil, our ties to the planet
Severed by knife, severed by knife!

[Chorus x2]
We'll cry of the cancer
And we'll fail for the cure
Let the sorrow consume us, the burden's impure

[Verse 2]
Sick from the filth spew forth black blood
Unchain the machines that hold off the flood
I see no hope, I don't feel the fear
We don't have to stay here, we don't have to stay here!
A river of ice meets a mountain of fire
All hope torn asunder by human desire
[Bridge]
Emptiness
Godless gluttons!
Emptiness
I give you
Emptiness
Godless gluttons
Emptiness

[Chorus x2]
We'll cry of the cancer
And we'll fail for the cure
Let the sorrow consume us, the burden's impure

[Breakdown x2]
Flesh to the dirt
Necks to the stone
Scorching the soul
Hollowing bones

[Outro]
Don't bring me back from the dead
