lyrics

Reflections struggle to find hosting eyes
from rippling waters.
Inundated soil
beneath heathered skies
Are all that remain.

Was it you who said humanity
has a seat at the table of god?
I took solace in those words,
displayed them in my work.
Let them live without fear;
rejection of the truth.
Here we are now,
responsible for travesty
of a scale unknown.

O,
now beware
of the phantoms of the mire
taking host.
You may claim
that it’s based in fiction,
yet this was foretold.

Now beware
of the phantoms of the mire taking host.
You tell them it’s a mirage,
But I have felt the ghost.

Living in a world drowned out
in our own mistakes.
massive waves overtake
everything we love
twisting metal, burning wood.
A barge of floating corpses.
This is what it takes to play God.
You will not interfere.

Now we must go,
escaping with what little that we have left.
I’m sure that you’re aware
that these deadly waters can reanimate.
You’ll see the waves that come from a drop
of pure
hatred.

Rising from the waves
This is how
The Legend comes to life.

O, now beware,
of The Phantoms of the Mire.
