Cosmogyral – Honor In Death lyrics

[Verse 1]
A great man tried
His words decried
Living a life full of malice and pride
It's a test of will
To fight against these ills

[Chorus]
And oh...sleep now forevermore
And you'll find
Your honor in death...restored

[Breakdown 1]
Whispered words upon their lips
Cast judgment from their fingertips
The wise man seeks to clear his name
To deafened ears, its all in vain

Like sands through the hourglass
So have the days
Of this life come to pass
I am nothing but shadows and dust!

[Verse 2]
Their anger wrought
For lessons taught
With this act of defiance, his sentence brought
As the hemlock drains
It courses through his veins

[Chorus]
And oh...sleep now forevermore
And you'll find
Your honor in death...restored x2


[Bridge]
Down through all of history
His words will issue destiny
Cast out for all the world to see
Great minds alike, these words will breed

With death, the great man's, debt was paid
His act of sacrifice has made
This martyr's path that is now paved
It shall not fade


[Breakdown 2]
Lessons learned, when found at odds
With ideals of these earthly “gods”
The past and present now collide
Our lives, our honor, will not die

Like sands through the hourglass
So have the days
Of our lives come to pass
We are nothing but shadows and dust!
