Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Endless horizons painted in rust
Promises of glory turned into dust
They sold us forever like a golden throne
Left us standing in the cold alone
Ticking of the clock on a hollow wall
Watching every empire stumble and fall
Sanctuary built on shifting sand
Nothing stays forever in a dying land!
(Pre-Chorus)
Bleed out the silver, strip off the gold
Face the reality of getting old
No holy sanctuary, no light to see
Just the crushing weight of reality!
(Chorus)
Caught in the trap of Eternity's Deceit!
Lies on the tongue, cold iron at the feet!
Drowning in the illusion of a timeless place
Vanishing without a single trace!
No salvation, no final grace!
Eternity's Deceit!
Eternity's Deceit!
(Verse 2)
Syncopated pounding, low-end drive
Struggling just to feel alive
Heavy bass sub knocking through the floor
Boot kicking hard on the chapel door
False prophets selling you a ticket to the sky
While the world burns down and the oceans dry
You traded off the present for a ghost story myth
Now you're hanging off the edge of a jagged cliff!
(Pre-Chorus)
Bleed out the silver, strip off the gold
Face the reality of getting old
No holy sanctuary, no light to see
Just the crushing weight of reality!
(Chorus)
Caught in the trap of Eternity's Deceit!
Lies on the tongue, cold iron at the feet!
Drowning in the illusion of a timeless place
Vanishing without a single trace!
No salvation, no final grace!
Eternity's Deceit!
Eternity's Deceit!
(Breakdown)
(Slow, crushing half-time chugs with pitch-squeal accents)
Time stops...
The illusion breaks...
Nothing lasts...
YOUR HEAVEN IS A LIE!
BLEED!
(Solo)
(Bridge)
(Fast two-step into a heavy groove bounce)
Forever is a weapon, forever is a cage
Written on the pages of a burning age
Wake up from the dream, shatter the display
Burn down the altar and walk away!
(Chorus)
Caught in the trap of Eternity's Deceit!
Lies on the tongue, cold iron at the feet!
Drowning in the illusion of a timeless place
Vanishing without a single trace!
No salvation, no final grace!
Eternity's Deceit!
Eternity's Deceit!
(Outro)
Eternity's Deceit...
Fade to black.
No second chance.
Nothing remains.
