hanami - Rot Lyrics

The pages turn now to the darker side
To whence the tainted fate of all
And how it retrogressed to entropy was first described
Back to the way it all began for the thousandth time

"Save us from all that plagues us
O' holy one above
Our light has gone"

The throat is pleading to the noose
For it knows not its audience is suffocation
O' stifled child
Impiety will but breed rot

So foretold
And so consummated
The souls forlorn have taken the light and seen it cast away
So the world now weeps, bound in its decay

Though its cries meet only the ears of those succumbed to madness

And all hope is but futility
All prayers, but efforts of naivety
O' child who cast away thy light
And slew thy flesh
What now must come as the lands born to serve but wilt away

Seek not your God
Seek not salvation
No grace awaits in what barren lands remain

There is only rot and deterioration
For the world may spare no longer its love for thee

Breed rot, reap rot
Breed rot, reap
