The dead city gazes into space
A thousand eyes stare at me
Humanity lies fallow
In the valley of the living dead
Soul-less puppets on a string
Starved to give in

Shall we praise the fallen
In the hall of tears
In the valley of fears
Shall we praise the fallen
In ancient halls
Deliverance calls

Marionettes of a morbid nation
Anxious to maintain the twists of fate
Afraid to cut the cord
Craven to let go

Shall we praise the fallen
In the hall of tears
In the valley of fears
Shall we praise the fallen
In ancient halls
Deliverance calls

Worn out puppets
Rule a universe
Inept to lift the curse
Resolve your harm
Bear down distress
Dare to leap in the dark
Hope sears
And the end is near
