Sol Invictus The World Shrugged
I see a cross
So rotting and sad
I see a flag
A bloody torn rag
Oh, the games we play
Oh, the lies we tell
Oh, the hearts that are broken
Between heaven and hell
And the stones will fall
Never to rise
And the world will shrug
And close her eyes
In this black night
In these jaws of steel
All our battles lost
Beneath an iron hill
Oh, what damned mankind
And all his woes
And I'd murder Cupid
With his bow
And the stones will fall
Never to rise
And the world will shrug
And close her eyes
Across this earth
A poison seeps
From house to house
That plague does creep
With smiles and whispers
To blunt ourselves
With fools' gold
For our souls
And the stones will fall
Never to rise
And the world will shrug
And simply say goodbye
