Strain - Reign of Descent Lyrics

Deposed by the one you feigned to love
Now the rebel takes his leave of your tyranny
Lost in the ashes of your broken reign
A tattered banner waves your name
As if to say
I was never to blame!
You were always to blame
And in the silence of betrayal
Makeshift stitches unravel
As disdain bleeds into the echoes of our past
As I climb out from the rubble
I don't hear you speak
Yet still it lingers
Your haunting melody
Through the wreckage of shattered dreams
Unburdened by what remains
Phantom chains bind
A ghostly embrace
In the absence of love
I find my
Fate
When the world collapsed
I found myself
Reborn
Reborn into ruin
Still I sift through the ashes
Of an unfinished empire
Beneath this blameless banner
Alone and blood-soaked with disdain
A frail hunger somehow
Still craves your sore refrain
Reborn into ruin
Just let me rot
