Ancient Omens - Vicious Cycle Lyrics

The time has come for this unholy rite
What once brought us hope brings us nightmares and fright
The ritual begins to shift all of the power
For which tyrant god will our souls they devour?
Lining their pockets to fulfill their greed
They feed off the suffering of people they bleed

When will we see this is all just a lie?
They're hungry wolves preying on sheep in the night
When we will learn that they'll never change?
Empty promises that only bring pain
How long before we swallow our pride?
And admit it's been a game of conquer and divide
Forever we repeat this vicious cycle

Looting extortion fuels the flames
While pitting up people for their sick games
Smoke screens and mirrors they hide their dark deeds
In secret they nature destructive seeds
Through fear and deception an iron grip they keep
Loyal and ignorant we stay fast asleep

History will repeat itself time after time if we walk the same line
Forever will their chains keeps us bound until we burn it down to the ground
Until we see behind their facade then can we dethrone these false gods
It's always darkest before the dawn The healing will start and this pain will be gone
