Sol Invictus The World Shrugged

I see a cross

So rotting and sad

I see a flag

A bloody torn rag



Oh, the games we play

Oh, the lies we tell

Oh, the hearts that are broken

Between heaven and hell



And the stones will fall

Never to rise

And the world will shrug

And close her eyes



In this black night

In these jaws of steel

All our battles lost

Beneath an iron hill



Oh, what damned mankind

And all his woes

And Id murder Cupid

With his bow



(chorus)



Across this earth

A poison seeps

From house to house

That plague does creep



With smiles and whispers

To blunt ourselves

With fools gold

For our souls


[ The World Shrugged Lyrics ]
