Under a spell of regressive unease Struggle to gather what my mind decrees Scattered about are these visions of mine With tidings of war, and the ghastly ill signs Men of deception creating the ultimate divine Creed and corruption dancing with fate as they entwine Standing alone here in search of the key To fortunes we'd hitherto never foresee A price for the living of lives so in vain That yearn for the threshold of pleasure and pain Shattered and lifeless disfiguring everything I see Screams of redemption, bleeding into a misery Where the twisted one dwells casting archaic spells unto me Just once in time I failed to see The flash of darkness in your eyes That shed my blindness away To manifest within mankind Throw the ghosts of ignorance Into the flames Pale, flushed with fear The holy demons flee In this throne of reverence Dwells emptiness Unleashed, we cannot stop We'll seize the bleeding throne A ceremony of infernal might Paints your hollow prophecies with fire! Our life continues A futile waste of man Bereft of all progression Never to understand So the moral chains of existence Are sealed to well within Quest for darkness continues Death of man begins We slowly fade into the edges of time Cold, shattered and grim Crossing the plain Black is the air With silence insane Eyes peer through the mist Seeing the light Stricken with fear entranced buy the sight Child, follow me now Into my home Dismal and bleak This kingdom I roam There, over the hills Lies the abyss There you will find Solace and bliss Just once in time I failed to see The flash of darkness in your eyes That shed my blindness away To manifest within mankind
