Deep dive into the abyss
Descent to the darkest places
Dusty figures in sunken wax cabinets
Gruesome horror on real human faces
The fragile sound of crushing bone
When the innocent are attacked
Soon passing by another millstone
With another body self-attached
What's a little genocide among brothers
If it gives you a kingdom of your own
Are you really here to serve others
If others don't serve your renown
Mankind creates instruments of destruction
To feed the shadow of its growing doubt
Stubbornly locking its torture chambers
No longer knowing which side is in or out
Sons of Adam burning with greed
Eager to get drunk of the forbidden wine
Intent on turning mere five degrees
Wrong direction for thirty-sixth time
Daughters of Eve in sin begetting
Headlong to the early bed of dust
Deception of self and others besetting
Bringing convenient lie to the lust
This is the world for which Christ came
As he stepped down from his throne to dive deep
To save the sinking ones drowning in shame
Breaking chains in depths where the hopeless weep
As the one who himself was wholly blameless
His cup could contain all our blame
In self-surrender of holy to the shameless
He became the covering for all our shame
Streams of evil as if light made of darkness
Flowed from every place and time to the cross
Absorbing iniquity in the moment of chaos
Defeat became victory and gain throug the loss
Turning the bitter waters of worst wickedness
Into the sweet wine of greatest redemption
He made a sign of peace and forgiveness
Of an instrument of torture and destruction
Descent to the darkest places
Dusty figures in sunken wax cabinets
Gruesome horror on real human faces
The fragile sound of crushing bone
When the innocent are attacked
Soon passing by another millstone
With another body self-attached
What's a little genocide among brothers
If it gives you a kingdom of your own

If others don't serve your renown
