War, subjects slain before us
Followers died in vain
Sacrificed to fallen idols
Conquerors curse our holy name
Razing that which we deemed sacred
A consecrated burial ground
Sacrifices made unto us
Could not stop the war drums sound
A dying preacher
Forsaken one
His temple torn to rubble
We gods are silent
His faith undone
Our idols broken
Consumed by fire
What shall become of us
We gods of a fallen empire
Will we maintain existence
When all the flock is gone?
How will we bless the pious?
Decide what's right or wrong?
Will there be funerals for us?
Remembrance of each decree
All powerful omnipotent ones
Erased from history
A dying preacher
Forsaken one
His temple torn to rubble
We gods are silent
His faith undone
Our idols broken
Consumed by fire
What shall become of us
We gods of a fallen empire

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians! dragonslayer8228

Fantastic album, which over the years has become IMPOSSIBLE to find (the 2006 version) - even to pirate it! It's great to have this, but I have one complaint: the 2006 version of Invisible Kingdom had one of my favorite guitar solos ever, and it's just not anywhere near as good or compelling on this version. A real shame. Still quite glad to have this. Please release Psychotic Sculpture and Beyond the Cursed Eclipse on BC! Archmage Orladin
