lyrics

So, Here it comes knocking on the gates of my sanity again, it's procured a certain arrogant pride

Here is the paradox patiently waiting in heavenly frock to uncover itself
which remains as a cycle of unanswered questions, gathering dust with the books on the shelf

Piecing fragments together of the life before the fall

Prying, prying in my soul
I implement the will of the valiant redeemer

Fear, my torch brings, I enforce the law forced on me
Tied with serpents' empty husks to the cross
A bitter puppet of the light

In the name of Forcas we wrote the litany to banish all angelic life
We siphoned the breath from the shells of heralds
And imprisoned the cherub's mind

Souls at ease were retained by the crowd
In the tranquil evening sun
Bibliophageous prophets recovered them
And burned an effigy of us

Hear the cries on the plagued lands
Rickety jigs the afflicted gits sing bitterly in sacrilege
When brimstone rains down in a glint so raw and serene, all lies down with the soil as one

We envied the men on the scene
that only felt the blade
and vanished in the dormant green
by entering Eden's gate

Now, having made this foul and bitter sacrifice, I am crowned before my liege

Tears of the emissary fall unto the hilt as the sword exacts it's brutal toll

Still breathing while my consciousness is fleeting, trusting the soil to bring repose
The gleaming of perpetual relief is seeping in through the opened door

My soul evicted
Imprisoned in a prismic crystal
And adorned with thorns at Sandalphon's court
Reborn before the angelic lord.

Without a casket I am to remain
