about

The eighth track off of The Aphelion's debut album, The Labour Division

In Tainted Wisdom, we are formally introduced to The Father, his legion, and the unspeakable horrors he has wrought upon the Labour Division.

lyrics

Born to scorch the face of the earth
To salt our soil and leave lakes of fire
Ruthless subjugation calls
They all would fall before his spell
Bones fragment beneath the weight
Of the world he’s placed upon us all
The cruelty hemorrhaging from his eyes
Into hearts of youth and old alike

If only they knew what he had foreseen
They too would bask in the Father’s love

Dear Father, so much more
(Sing for him)
Than just some figurehead
(Breathe for him)
He delivers us
(Live by him)
From the cries of the sickness beyond
(Die by him)

The rally cry sounds out from below
The crowds, so restless for adoration
He comes from the sky to save us all
From the perils of the world before
Shrouded in black, he gives forth discourse
As his empyrean metal bird descends
His words, they come to save us all
From the horrors that hide in our minds
His promises echo ever longer
A disease that cannot reach our walls

Dear Father of war
(Sing for him)
His tainted wisdom comes to a head
(Breathe for him)
He will deliver us
(Live by him)
From the cries of the sickness echoing on
(Die)
