Via Crucis (the Way Of The Cross) Lyrics - Singles - Forsaken

[Lyrics: Albert Bell / Music: Forsaken] 

I walk through barren corridors glistening 

With a stench of a promised salvation 

This sultry wilderness mourns 

The grieving of a mother's supplication 

Seraphic overtures inebriated 

By the suffering of aeons of compromise 

Here he is legion, heir-apparent to Apollyon's throne 

Breathing the progeny of all lies 

[Chorus] 

Via crucis (The way of the cross) 

My kingdom has come 

Arcana lucis (arcane light) 

Thy will be done 

A resurrection conjured on altars of impunity 

Scars of betrayal shrouded in a sanctimonius reliquary 

Wine-made-incarnate in a chalice of iniquity 

Graven effigies accolade a deception 

Enshrined in consanguinity 

As the twilight sleeps, I hear 

the resuscitation of a withering womb 

Christendom weeps, for the child of a virginal prostitution 

Ascetic icons seep with the blood of dismal martyrdom 

Subjugator of the meek, the spirit of man fades 

in the eyes of the distant kingdom 

Serpent hordes summon the cinnamon king 

Venerating the vestiges of the lonesome crown 

Babylon whores writhing in ecstasy 

Procreating the seven seals of prophecy 

[Chorus] 

Via crucis (The way of the cross) 

My kingdom has come 

Arcana lucis (arcane light) 

Thy will be done
