Death Mask Songtext
von The Autumn Offering

The sins of the father
The sins of the father
A family portrait hung upon the wall [(Douse the sleeping bodies)]
Unaware, yet marked for death
Cold, sadistic mother
Ashes are what she yearns

Haunting breeze, weighing down, then crawl away, they left you to drown
The depths give up the dead

Slit open wrists for the martyred, suffer no more
Revolt
The pain of their lives you couldn′t bear [(Couldn't bear)]
So put out the fires of their souls [(Of their souls)]
Release the pyre from the alter of hell


Alone we fall down
Silently drown
Kill this life again

Again
Again
Again
Again

Again
Again
Again
Again

A failed god, living inside of you, condemned
Murdered inside of you
Time for reprieve


Slit open wrists for the martyred, suffer no more
Revolt
The pain of their lives you couldn′t bear, [(Couldn't bear)]
So put out the fires of their souls [(Of their souls)]
Release the pyre from the alter of hell
