Ophidian as Raziel ft. William F. DeVault - The Violence Of Indifference lyrics

From out of the city came words

From out of the city

From out of the city came words
Small words
Words like lead pellets
Ringing on armour
Stinging on flesh
And carrying a message of rage (of rage)
And honor defended

The prophet spoke in broken syntax
the facts spoke for themselves in time and he was carried to the city square
to be stoned to death, in accordance with the law

Morning slid over the horizon as if on rails invisible and split the night like Trinity
Infinity seemed possible except for the silence of the waking world
One eye open

Mourn the night and rise [2x]
Rise to your feet and climb the hill you always said you'd climb before the end of all things
For it is upon you, even in the optimism of dawn (dawn [?x])

Mourn the night and rise
Rise to your vision, rise!
The afterlife is not waiting for you, but you for it
And the madness of martyrs may call it too soon

Mourn the night and rise [2x]
Spread your bastard wings and catch the feral winds that come on the sun's fire
To sweep away the night into small shadow piles in corners

From out of the city came words
From out of the city
From out of the city came words [2x]
Final words
Words like Eden
Gethsemane
Golgotha
And then [3x]
The silence
The violence of indifference
