Exile Lyrics

A BENEVOLENT MIND WITHERED AND DIED
EMBRYONIC NOTIONS OF HUMAN SOLIDARITY
WERE VIOLENTLY SHATTERED INTO PIECES

AS THE SENSE OF BELONGING WAS CONSUMED
AND REPLACED BY LOATHING AND DISGUST
AN IRON SHELL FORMED AROUND THE BLACK SOUL

DRIFTING FROM SAFE HAVENS OF THE PAST
SPIRALING INTO ENDLESS NIGHT
THOUGH IT SEEMS ONE MUST STAND IN DARKNESS
TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE LIGHT

THE LAST GLEAM OF LIGHT WAS EXTINGUISHED
THERE WAS NO MORE COMPASSION TO BE FOUND
DEPRIVATION EXTORTED A STATE OF ISOLATION

AS VISIONS OF LIFE WERE UTTERLY DEFORMED
AND FELLOW MEN WERE TURNED INTO ENEMIES
A DESIRE TO REVERT INWARDS EVOLVED

AND FROM THE DARKNESS...
A NEW LIGHT WAS BORN...
A BLAZING WILDFIRE...
THE LIGHT OF DEATH...
