Defector DCXVI lyrics

[Verse 1]
The falcon encouraged
My vengeful rampage as an angel
And the jackal nursed
My return as an unsettled fallen one
I was too volatile to keep in heaven
But also completely indestructible
Forever exiled to the mortal layer
To keep the heavens out of reach

[Pre-Chorus]
We do not forget, we do not forgive
My red eyes will transcend the light of Ra

[Chorus]
Hear my hymns, the hymns of the damned
May the angels be unable to turn away their ears
And your gates, your gates will be rammed
By the ones you culled, out from your greatest fears
Hear my hymns, they are the ordnance of my own design
Hear my hymns, the hymns of the damned
Surrender your heart to the melody at hand

[Solo]

[Verse 2]
My righteous seat of power
Was always on the center throne
And that's also where you'll find me
When the Syndissiah fall
You may have turned some of us
But you will never get us all
The weapons I create are
The onslaught winning this war
[Chorus]
Hear my hymns, the hymns of the damned
May the angels be unable to turn away their ears
And your gates, your gates will be rammed
By the ones you culled, out from your greatest fears
Hear my hymns, they are the ordnance of my own design
Hear my hymns, the hymns of the damned
Surrender your heart to the melody at hand

[Bridge]
Don't you ever mistake
My silence for ignorance
My calmness for acceptance
And my kindness for weakness
This conflict is the only thing
Between the Zionic throne and me
And I will, I will not be denied
Judgement or mercy, which one will it be?
While you hide in your ivory tower
Let me then bring this godless world together

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
A battalion of wraiths
With their hearts set on vengeance
Against your myriad group of scraps
Harboring no will of their own
[Pre-Chorus]
We do not forget, we do not forgive
My red eyes will transcend the light of Ra

[Chorus]
Hear my hymns, the hymns of the damned
May the angels be unable to turn away their ears
And your gates, your gates will be rammed
By the ones you culled, out from your greatest fears
Hear my hymns, they are the ordnance of my own design
Hear my hymns, the hymns of the damned
Surrender your heart to the melody at hand
May the angels be unable to turn away their ears
Hear my hymns
