Lyrics
We came as heroes
We arrived as heroes
Sincerest charity in mind
Carrying the sincerest intentions of charity
The saviours of the hopeless
Seen as the saviors of the hopeless
All alms and honest kindness
Providing alms and genuine kindness
We left as villains
We departed as villains
Despoilers of disease
Becoming despoilers of disease
Nightmare prevails - as always
A nightmarish situation prevails - a recurring theme
We spoiled our precious grain
We wasted our valuable resources
And tainted is the water
The water is now contaminated
No birds of song remain
No birds of song remain, suggesting a desolate environment
We came as saviours
We initially presented ourselves as saviors
To bathe you in our grace
To shower others with our grace
But now seeds of downfall we have sown
However, we have now planted seeds of downfall
In the barren ground
In a barren and infertile ground
Seeds of downfall!
These seeds symbolize our destructive actions
Descending madness
Descending into madness
We dwindle down the path of sin
We continue down a sinful path
Awakening within us
Awakening the inherent evil within us
Our kinds inherent evil
Our kind's innate malevolence emerges
Hunger for power
A hunger for power consumes us
For worship and command
Desire for worship and command takes hold
Nightmare prevails - as always
The recurring nightmare continues
We spoiled our precious grain
Again, we waste our valuable resources
And tainted is the water
The water remains tainted
No birds of song remain
The environment is devoid of beauty and life
We came as saviours
We came with the intention of saving
To bathe you in our grace
To grace others with our presence
But now seeds of downfall we have sown
Yet, our actions have led to the planting of seeds of downfall
In the barren ground
In a ground that now symbolizes barrenness
Seeds of downfall!
These seeds of downfall represent our destructive legacy
Tainted is our hollowed ground
The ground we tread is now tainted
Blackend it’s vital nectar
Its vital essence is now corrupted
We’ll eat the noxious yield
We consume the poisonous yield of our actions
As we fall the earth begins to heal
As we fall, the earth begins to heal, possibly indicating a cycle of renewal
Nightmare prevails - as always
The recurring nightmare persists
We spoiled our precious grain
Once again, we squander our valuable resources
And tainted is the water
The water remains tainted
No birds of song remain
The absence of birdsong suggests a lifeless environment
We came as saviours
We initially presented ourselves as saviors
To bathe you in our grace
To shower others with our grace
But now seeds of downfall we have sown
Yet, we have sown seeds of downfall
In the barren ground
In a ground that now symbolizes barrenness
