[Lyric] On the Day of Execution (Nequient)

Carve another name into the memorial
We watch you rot and fall
In you we saw what we wished to be
Brought low by mortality

Carve another name into sand
For another hero damned

Leave behind legs of stone
Gods revealed as flesh and bone
No matter what you say
Or allow yourself to see
Death brings only your decay
What you’ve been is all you’ll be
Comforted by cold embrace
All you cared for is erased

On the day of execution

Starless night in black
It’s only gеtting darker
Longing to go back
But I’ll be lost herе
On the day of execution

In this artificial world, is suffering all that’s real?
Writ upon every brow, “Et in arcadia, ego.”

Rot and fall

On the day of execution
Plaintive cry for absolution

Your despair is a trap
That way lies the noose
Blinded by empty pap
We turn our fears loose
