Descent Songtext / Lyric

All God's children would have cause

To think the devil now walks this realm

A place dispossessed of any sanity

Edification of a scene from hell



Manmade prophecies serve to vindicate

All sides who claim themselves

Worthy servants obedient to the same God

A God who commands them not to kill






These faithful in lines that number thousands

Bring perdition throughout the land

As though the angel of death himself had been unleashed

To exact a punishment on this world



Across this cursed place rage the fires

Where the innocent are burned on a thousand funeral pyres

In anguish parted from this world



Does the need for the belief in a devil

Serve to palliate, serve to forgive us our sins

In the abandonment of reason and our delivery into hell



Limitless are the ways of mankind in its virulent capacities

Ironic it may seem, for us a chance exists to see

In us also lies the capacity to transcend
