The Great Gift Of The World - Fit For An Autopsy

If it all went away tomorrow

Would there be anything worthy of the salvage

Or would the world be swallowed by the sea

A blissful silence in return of harmony

And would there be any need for possession

Cultured regret

The lost of progress

The passing of the flesh

Marrow to market

Burn for the treasure

But remember the children who won’t have it any better than this

What has been left for them

Where there once was hope

Now there is only pain

The great gift of the world

Have you felt the hope leave you?

The guiding light

It recedes as fast all

Dark days

They welcome you into a body

Beaten and raw

So polluted and vile

Broken dreams and fractured minds

Twisted tongues

Swallow the blood back

They swallow the light

We drink of the wine

And eat of the bread

But we’re starving

Undeserving of death

No, we will not find heaven

We will not find our place

We will not find the light

We will not find our way

Where there once was hope

Now there is only pain

The great gift of the world

In life

It rots a man from the inside

In death

We escape an existence in vain

And in time

Where could we hide

When the soul is the cancer

It consumes

It yearns for more

Conditioned to thrive in the slaughter

Our sons and daughters will mourn for the martyrs we betrayed

A murderer’s mind

A murderer’s hands

Cursed

I walk with man

Covered in the blood

The blood of the lamb

Now you see the hope leave you

Was the guiding light ever there at all?

Or were the flames

The bellows of hell

The calling for the desperate

The symbol of the fall

No, we will not find heaven

We will not find our place

We will not find the light

We will not find our way

Where there once was hope

Now there is only pain

The great gift of the world
