And So It is Written


And so it is written
The Dead will awaken and churn the waters.
Mix it with their ashes
and lace the drink of the unrighteous man.

Trapped aboard the sinking vessel
their words the chain and their deeds the shackle.

And so it is written
the Judge will not wait for final sentence
His fate sealed shut with wax.
The jury's death can't keep this man from dying.

Trapped aboard the sinking vessel
their words the chain and their deeds the shackle.

And so it is written
a tear rolls down the face of Death himself.
Even he cannot choose who lives or dies.
Truth will pierce the heart.
The unrighteous will bleed.

Trapped aboard the sinking vessel
their words the chain and their deeds the shackle.
