Sacrifice of Innocence

by When Hearts Wither

/
1.
Erratic intentions Prospects entwined with one hope To find the light surrounding the one true god The gift to all, with a sacrifice of innocence We play the fool, once again Then we are misguided to our own descent We don’t question it We just accept it as a gift to mankind I see the clouds cover the sun In a desperate act of deception I found no other way to escape From this hell I feel the burden lift from my shoulders I’ll leave this world for the last time Would you take my hand, and follow me? Leave all of this behind us And look forward Pity the fool who never questioned the sacrifice of innocence

The Descent 09:29
Torn and withered memories Leaving darkness behind Closer to heaven you’ll see The light that once touched The beauty that you embodied Two worlds ripped from their core The downfall It watches us suffer, oh so slowly Would you take my hand And follow me? In all this dark towards the sun For one moment the darkness left Until we reached the slopes of ruin Impending dread and doom The downfall Trembling as the fear Spreads throughout our souls The air we breathe pains our lungs The downfall It watches us suffer, oh so slowly

about

Big thank you to Gogo Melone for the wonderful artwork!


Concept of EP

A man and his love interest are being governed by a manipulative and deceiving government. He tries to convince her that they are being brainwashed implicitly. They both try to leave and find the perfect place for them. A place full of tranquility and purity. Only to find out they what will lie in front of them is only dread, doom and misery...
