Elysian Fields - Knights of the White Carnation

Текст песни

Cowards that dare not show their face
Follow the grand conductor
Squire their underground campaign
Parade in ghost regalia
A fraternal oath in saltpeter
Blight of the grim crusaders
Come hear the proclamation
Knights of the white carnation
We are the consummation
So tend to your preparations
Terror breeds a futile strain
Kin of condemnation
Expose themselves in sallow flame
Fear and desperation
Righteous mobs like locust march
Loyal sons who plunder
In the name of false empirs
Splitting skulls asunder
Come hear th proclamation
Knights of the white carnation
A dark illumination
A murdering resurrection
Lords and queens of the castle walls
Heirs of the great plantations
Hands that whipped black skin
Hold the keys of the private prisons
Mystic bishops peaks reveal
The high source of their privilege
Come hear the proclamation
Knights of the white carnation
Trigger the purification
Hang the reconciliation
Laying waste to the nation
Knights of the white carnation
This abomination
Sound the lamentation
