I've been waiting for so long 
For someone to 
Mend all the blame 
I've been searching for so long 
For something to 
Anonymous 
Avenge my name, oh-oh
Anonymous 
Avenge my name, oh-oh 

Came here on time 
Hope that it's not to late 
Seen you at night 
Biting the frost of silence 

Can you cure us of this fate?
Mock the litany in its face 
Is that you, Moatilliatta?

I've been waiting for so long 
For someone to 
Mend all the blame 
I've been searching for so long 
For something to

Avenge my name, oh-oh 

Hex zero rouge he'll hibernate no more 
The altars run dry 
Prefect dictate final words 
Does it sting of augur truth?
Was your temple left in ruins?
Is that you, Moatilliatta?

I've been waiting for so long 
For someone to 
Mend all the blame 
I've been searching for so long
For something to

Avenge my name, oh-oh 

This is the altar 
The one that you let me die in 
On your knees, how you wept 
Much like Omerta
The quiet has shielded all intent
On the ground it appears like wrath 
Avenging the lamb as bait 
In a bed of nails you made 
Who made this effigy?
Is there straw dressed in these fields 

And now it won't be long 

I've been waiting for so long 
For someone to 
Mend all the blame 
I've been searching for so long 
For something to 
Anonymous (I'll rain blood on this city)
Avenge my name (this city, this city)
Anonymous (I'll rain blood on this city)
Avenge my name (this city, this city)
