KING GOAT LYRICS

1. The Final Decline

With fatal flaws and corruption of mind
We, the weak, will eat ourselves alive.
As we feast like feculent worms
We barely look up at the point of no return.

Don't shift the blame.
You are as guilty as I.
Lungs fill with water.
The Final Decline.

These roots reach deeper now
Than I ever guessed.
Right down to the core
Of the cold abyss.
This is what you deserve.
You played your part
And now not even the Earth
Will spit back out your bones.

Don't shift the blame.
You are as guilty as I.
Lungs fill with water.
The Final Decline.

2. Cult Obscene

Fanatic tyrants.
Fear and hate.
Generals, soldiers.
Honour and fate.
Will it stop before it's too late?

In the words of Oscar Wilde
An opinion can't be correct
Unless you're willing to die.

And so they march to the killing fields
For God and Country.
Make the ultimate sacrifice.
And I'll never understand the reasons why.

Come pray at the altar of violence.
Come sing the hymns of hatred.

Glorified violence.
A Cult Obscene.
Civilians lying dead
In the wake of the war machine.

Kill. Die. Never understand the reasons why.

3. Melian's Trance

I stare in wonder,
Not quite sure of what I see.
This spell I'm under.
Locked in trance, unable to move.
I cannot leave.

Light shines from her eyes.
Love. Lust. All is lost.

All desire surrenders to her
And passes into the void.
Soul on fire, I cannot refuse
And there can be no rest for me now.

Soon, the grief is all I know.
Seasons pass, give way to the snow.
Still I stand but I'm not alone.
She still stands there, chilling my bones.

Months soon turn to years.
Still we gaze in trance.
Now I understand.
She cannot advance.

Well I will not be held captive any more.
I must break the spell if I'm to ever be restored.

She will be mine.
Until the end of time.
My elven forest queen,
Until the death of the sun.
