We will deign on rose petals as silence suffocates us Yet we will not whisper, nor will we weep We must enjoy the last breath that’s ours to keep. Dead in the heart Dead in the soul Because you won’t pay death’s deadly toll! Grave robber, grave robber, Please leave us our thrones Lest we gnaw on our own finger bones. Rub mud in your eyes; It won’t make you see Soiled and blind is all you can be. Don’t you ever come, Cry and plead I’ll give no more answers, guaranteed. It was all for you That we sacrificed our life But please go on and cause more pain and strife! I have the army But you still denied That you continue to fight for your pride… Twisting, choking Bruising, burning Pushing, biting and finger-turning. We’re the Olympians Daughter and Son Hear our mute roar and in terror; run. Flee in the night. Rob our graves. Run. You coward, you fool. You exodus of one.

Exodus of One
We will deign on rose petals as silence suffocates us Yet we will not whisper, nor will we weep We must enjoy the last breath that’s ours to keep. Dead in the heart Dead in the soul Because you won’t pay death’s deadly toll! Grave robber, grave robber, Please leave us our thrones Lest we gnaw on our own finger bones. Rub mud in your eyes; It won’t make you see Soiled and blind is all you can be. Don’t you ever come, Cry and plead I’ll give no more answers, guaranteed. It was all for you That we sacrificed our life But please go on and cause more pain and strife! I have the army But you still denied That you continue to fight for your pride… Twisting, choking Bruising, burning Pushing, biting and finger-turning. We’re the Olympians Daughter and Son Hear our mute roar and in terror; run. Flee in the night. Rob our graves. Run. You coward, you fool. You exodus of one.
