The Ascent and Decline Lyrics

Dissent
Curse the light, let the darkness take hold
Condemned
Now the faithful will know that prayers go unanswered

The ascent becomes the decline
Corrupting the soundest of minds
Leaving the weakest to die
Forgone the path of salvation

You've carried their crosses
Bow to their god
The burden becomes ours
Bow to their god

Repent
Lest we burn as the embers below
Resist
Rain the fires down from heaven
Reap what you've sown

The blasphemous praise the divine
The dawning of human decline
Its rapture will leave us behind
To stray the path of salvation

These are the sounds of attrition
The dawning of human decline
These are the sounds of attrition
Its rapture will leave us behind
