Reaper's Mark - Nonbeliever

No God is served in this wasteland
Only I exist for a little while
I walk amongst the ruins
Of battles fought and lost

In nihilistic defiance
And shunned hypocrisy
Don't fill me with your lies
I'll oppose your fruitless tries

And when your promises sound sweet
When you speak of promised land
All waiting there for me
I'll see through your false charade

He stands there at the foot of the pearled gate
Knowing that it will not open for him
These doors won´t open to a high ground
They will only antagonize him
Sealed shut for the nonbeliever

Oh, salvation, where are you?
These stories told, these visions fed
By the well meaning false kind
This world keeps letting me down

Stand fast trough the trials, the reward will come
That's what they said
Such fruitless tries
Such rotten lies

He stands there at the foot of the pearled gate
Knowing that it will not open for him
These doors won't open to a high ground
They will only antagonize him
Sealed shut for the nonbeliever

My only truth was what I carried inside
No God paved my way. No savior made it right
No spirit filled my core as I walked through this world
I am nothing beyond this world

No way to break free from the prison of dead dreams
Struggle I carry inside. On the outside everything dies
Amongst the ruins walks this hollow man
He feels this sorrow and loss

Deserted buildings crumble by the tear of time
And there's no hidden wealth revealed
Amongst the rubble this man stumbles
Nothing to fight for but the illusion of pride

At the foot of the pearled gate
It will not open for him

At the foot of the pearled gate
It will not open for him
Won't open to a high ground
Sealed shut for the nonbeliever

Forsaken landscape
I yearn within
