Shadows of the Usurper

In the land where dreams were born
A shadow looms, a crown of thorn
With iron fists and hearts of stone
They claim the earth, a throne of bone

Waves of silence, echoes of cries
Innocence lost beneath the lies
A flag of hatred, raised so high
While the cries for peace just fade and die

Oh, the usurper walks in darkness
With blood on their hands, a heartless jest
Neighbors tremble, fearing the night
In the name of power, they extinguish the light

In the land where dreams were born
A shadow looms, a crown of thorn
With iron fists and hearts of stone
They claim the earth, a throne of bone

Waves of silence, echoes of cries
Innocence lost beneath the lies
A flag of hatred, raised so high
While the cries for peace just fade and die

Oh, the usurper walks in darkness
With blood on their hands, a heartless jest
Neighbors tremble, fearing the night
In the name of power, they extinguish the light

Oh, the usurper walks in darkness
With blood on their hands, a heartless jest
Neighbors tremble, fearing the night
In the name of power, they extinguish the light

With every step, they march on graves
A legacy of hate, a world that braves
A thousand voices drown in despair
Innocent lives stripped bare, stripped bare

Oh, the usurper walks in darkness
With blood on their hands, a heartless jest
Neighbors tremble, fearing the night
In the name of power, they extinguish the light
Oh, the usurper walks in darkness
With blood on their hands, a heartless jest
Neighbors tremble, fearing the night
In the name of power, they extinguish the light
Oh, the usurper walks in darkness
With blood on their hands, a heartless jest
Neighbors tremble, fearing the night
In the name of power, they extinguish the light

When the dawn breaks, will we remember?
The ashes of hope in the cold December
In the shadows, where innocence fades
Let the truth rise from the masquerade
