[Intro] The guns... have gone... silent... But the earth still remembers... [Verse 1] Ash falls like funeral snow, Across a kingdom of broken stone. The trenches rot beneath my feet, Where millions fed the iron beast. Cannons rust with mouths agape, Praying for another war. Every shell became a prayer, Every prayer became a corpse. The heavens black... The sun has drowned... No victory... Only the sound— Of nothing. [Pre-Chorus] The silence... It breathes. The silence... It sees. [Chorus] THE SILENCE SMILES! Beneath the shattered skies we kneel! The cloaked ones rise, their judgment sealed! Skulls like stars in endless night! They drink the dying of the light! THE SILENCE SMILES! No god descends! No angels cry! Only death with open arms... Watching mankind... DIE! [Verse 2] Antler-crowned apostles stand, Their robes consume the poisoned land. Faces carved from endless void, Where every scream is swallowed whole. A mountain stitched from root and bone, Walks upon forgotten thrones. Castles sink beneath its weight, History devoured by hate. The forests choke... The rivers clot... The earth forgets... What life once was... [Breakdown] Walls of flesh... Breathing... Eyes... Watching... Altars... Bleeding... We become... THE FEEDING! [Verse 3] Tendrils weave through shattered skin, A choir born from mortal sin. Bone and muscle intertwine, Forging beasts beyond design. They feast not upon the weak, But on the terror that we speak. Dragging souls through crimson gates, To birth the horrors that await. [Solo: Chaotic tremolo picking over relentless blast beats] [Bridge] One torch remains... One final flame... Against an endless sea of graves. The cloaked ones gather... Circle tight... Their whispers swallow all the light. The fire dies... The world exhales... The dark remembers... Every name. [Final Chorus] THE SILENCE SMILES! The war was only chapter one! The end began when peace had come! Every kingdom, every throne, Returns at last to flesh and bone! THE SILENCE SMILES! No dawn shall rise! No bells shall ring! Only endless empty skies! Where death... Is king... [Outro] Ash to ash... Bone to dust... The earth has closed... Its bleeding crust... The torch is gone... The silence reigns... And all that's left... IS THE SOUND OF EMPTY GRAVES.
