Cruel the pantheon that eats its children But even gods must die alone In the cold and dark Feudal fire burns through the ages And not all wounds bleed the same Some will leave a scar Born in cycles of disfunction Each new offspring spirals out In confusion I saw the light in the brightest eyes dim I saw generations sink Disillusioned I spilled my cup at the altar But blood is thicker than water All hope forsake You who choose to stay Heroes ancient their deeds forgotten Statues toppled in the sand Profane the earth Fallen temples conceal their shadows And the wisdom of the past Remains interred I fought these cycles of disfunction But no apple can escape The orchard shade I heard a mother's ululations Underneath the festive lights While the youngest slept I spilled my cup at the altar But blood is thicker than water All hope forsake You who choose to stay I thought I had fortitude I thought I'd got out unscathed But small things can add up to a break All roads lead back around I choose exile it's better than the pact I can't chew the ambrosial fat I hate what I've come to Pantheon I renounce you All this time I've been waiting for the Wave to break and destroy the world I've been waiting for the wave to break The wave to break I've been waiting for my mind to break My mind to break I've been waiting for the world to break The world to break I've been waiting for the wave to break
