Retribution

[Intro]
Coming together since the world began
The hour of destitution nears
From four directions as the world expands
The culmination of our fears

[Verse 1]
Retribution of this world
You summoned this ordeal
Built this tower of Babylon
This unforgiving wheel

[Chorus]
"Tear it down!" they cry
"Depart from our eyes!
We want a new god!
To build up our lie!"

[Verse 2]
Time is not long for this world
Can't you feel the violence move?
Like the blackened, beating heart
Screams its twisted tune
This world has grown a tumor
Cancer has spread
Bitter vines crawling
From the dirt to the head

[Bridge]
As I stood upon the sand of the sea
My reflection looked back at me
Mesmerized I stared
I forgot why I went there

[Chorus]
"Oh! We'll tear down the walls!
We'll change times and laws!
And toy with the dark
And bleed out this mark

[Verse 3]
I'll shine like a star
I want to be free
I want to depart
I cut myself with my sword
But it doesn't leave a scar

[Outro]
Why can't I shine like the stars?"
