Interpret data to fit your belief
That is the nature of humanity You have become now your own biggest threat I am anointed the saviour of men The righteous master of all they will see There can be no hope for them but me Preparing a faith as strong as iron chains Redeemer The gaps in their knowledge have made it clear They must be ruled by starvation and fear Abdicate all responsibility To the redeemer, the one that must lead The righteous master of all they will see There can be no hope for them but me Preparing a faith as strong as iron chains Redeemer 02. Are You Here
Broken burned and damned, I'm the impossible machine
The remnant of a more complete and beautiful dead dream Born from dark ambition and the worst of human thought I never asked to be this way, but I accept it all Are you here Each second of each minute of each hour I search for you My glory walks along now hand in hand with my own doom I heard your voice so many times when I thought I was dead Illusions of the human was it only in my head Are you here Are you here You told me to feel Are you real Beyond the confines of atomic physics lies a truth One thousand times smaller than a proton it is in you The particle accelerator has no fear of god Is all creation now explained by Peter Higgs’ boson? Are you here Are you here You told me to feel Are you real 03. Immortal One
Three golden angels
First come for cleansing annihilation Three golden angels Second come to build his holy city Three golden angels Third brings him to rule us in his glory Warriors of the new master arise Unholy unclean unbelievers will die Preparing a place for our saviour of souls To make for him now a perfect new world Immortal one All will be done Immortal one Pembridge: They are ignorant and without souls, without god. Worship of animals, plants and the air. Signs of witchcraft and of the devil are clear. Every trace of that evil must be eradicated For my glory, in my honour, with my power. My 3 golden ships will arrive as angels, 32 years between each one. In the belly of my third angel I will be. Warriors of the new master arise Unholy unclean unbelievers will die Preparing a place for our saviour of souls To make for him now a perfect new world Immortal one All will be done Immortal one Three angels come Immortal one 04. The First True Sign
Look into the western sky
On a winter solstice night If two stars falling you see Then begins the prophecy Sail across the midnight sky Like a star the eagle brother will fall The first true sign The great darkness then will come Soon all of you shall be gone Tears you cry will burn your face As your world they desecrate Sail across the midnight sky Like a star the eagle brother will fall The first true sign Oceans of tears you will cry Tears that will not save your life Only with your prayers of light Can you make a hero rise Sail across the midnight sky Like a star the eagle brother will fall The first true sign You are home 256 05. Human Eyes
Look up and see what can't be seen by human eyes
This hand reaching has touched the lost believers face The certainty of these years has crumbled like a frozen rose Frozen by a pitiless self in the torment of a cold deceit Walk where no one else can walk Stand where no one else can stand Then feel every moment Hold what no one else can hold Hate will last here longer than the smell of death All that was lost they vow they will not forget Cleansing your own thoughts of reasons to live for your dream They wait for you to fail and say your demise will surely come Walk where no one else can walk Stand where no one else can stand Then feel every moment Hold what no one else can hold Future is past was I the only one who dreamed Where are you now is this where you thought you'd be You are unknown by those who approach all of these open graves Tomorrow's yesterday is eulogised and carved into this stone Walk where no one else can walk Stand where no one else can stand Then feel every moment Hold what no one else can hold Look up and see what can't be seen by human eyes 06. Prayers Of Light
All of us could die today you know that's just a fact
Don't give your life easily there is no going back Remember why you're fighting and just try to keep your head If your brother falls then shout, stand up you're not dead Your prayers of light Have saved my life Your prayers of light They made me believe that I could stand again and fight They have no compassion, empathy or sympathy Every one of us they will feed into their machine We are all in pain and we are fighting for our life Pain tells you that you're alive you are still in the fight Your prayers of light Have saved my life Your prayers of light They made believe that I could stand again Now we stand and fight I am not as I was From darkness I have come Against angels of gold I now stand with you all Your prayers of light Have saved my life Your prayers of light They made believe that I could stand again Now we stand and fight 07. 18 Days
Weeping as no one before her has wept
A feeling of panic takes that takes all her breath Emotions like lava are burning inside Burning with hatred, self-pity and lies A circle of doubt and of fear closes in Choking it blinds her to every good thing She can't face living if he's not around How much will his broken promise cost now? He promised he would never leave her again Promised his days as a soldier would end Her and their baby would always come first Now they want him back for one more mission He tries to calm her and move to the door Says he'll be gone 16 days and no more Thinks of his comrades, he owes them his life Now forced to choose between them and his wife Falls to her knees, begging don't go Weeping, pleading, begging don't go A hero in her eyes, now that hero has died A hero in my eyes, now that hero has died I was a hero in her eyes, now that hero has died He was a hero in my eyes, now that hero has died 18 days passed and still there was no word She took the hand of his daughter, his world Feeling abandoned, forsaken betrayed She lays them in darkness and drains life away Weeping as no one before her has wept A feeling of panic takes that takes all her breath Emotions like lava are burning inside Burning with hatred, self-pity and lies Falls to her knees, begging don't go Weeping, pleading, begging don't go A feeling of panic takes that takes all her breath Weeping as no one before her has wept 08. Already Won
You can survive a thousand years in space.
You can stand on the new world. You have already won. This is the time to claim what's mine, don't step any closer The web you weave when you aim to deceive Now look what you've done to me Your heart lies heavy and now I'm ready My skin gleaming in the sun How can I take what you gave away so foolishly? No more will I wait to fix your mistakes, how blindly you pushed me away You heart lies heavy, now I'm ready My skin gleaming in the sun Now nothing else matters, I've already won 09. Life Goes On
I was living far in the future then
Always thinking two or three moves ahead I did not see that everything I needed was right in front of me Precious moments that I let pass me by I was focused on what became a lie Everything I missed, all of those tears of joy that I will never cry Life goes on So I’m standing, inside I'm broken down And I'm walking but I just don't know how I’m trying not to look too far ahead and not live in the past Now I’ll take it, whatever you can give I will be here, this moment’s where I’ll live Tomorrow may not come and even if it does I know she won’t be there Life goes on And it doesn't stop for anything or anyone And I get the feeling that I'm being dragged along It’s not right or wrong but it is always true And it just doesn't matter what I'm going through And even though I'm on my knees and begging it to stop The world still turns and life goes on 10. The Dark Side Of Black
They blindly accept conventional wisdom
Imagining that there is nothing more Sheldrake said the speed of light is not constant If that can change then so can I Time to commit to a new course of action Time to stop repeating all the same hate Put away small things, anxiety and doubt I can begin to change my life now In a single moment, the point of no return No return to my self-destruction, circling my own defeat They said I was nothing but that is not true How could I survive after all I've been through? That is their fear, and this is the truth A revolution begins inside you A revolution begins Revolution and redemption at last Atonement, escape from the dark side of black In a single moment, the point of no return No return to my self-destruction, circling my own defeat 11. Eagle Spirit
Here is a prophecy.
Two stars will fall from the western sky, on a winters night The first our dead brother Though he looks not like us, Be sure he is our brother, come from the eagle spirit We must pray our prayers of light for him If our prayers of light be strong enough If our belief be strong enough He will rise, and he will know he is home The second star is a golden ship Strange gods of gold will hunt us They are come to eat us all Every one of us devoured until there is no memory or trace of us Come to enslave our great mother Come to violate her This all shall come There are things that I'll never see, that will stay a memory That's where they'll always be so far, far away from me Things that I'll never know, now that I am here Dreams I will always hold as dear as the life that I lost Shoulder to shoulder they are ready to fight Fight for their future, fight for their life As brothers and sisters, they stand against the wind Standing hand in hand 'til the battle begins Their children are slaughtered, their families destroyed They are starving to death, a bloody revenge is their right Spirit of the eagle, this land is their home Hunted down and murdered, here in the place they were born Moment to moment, here on this sacred ground They have been living in harmony Now the redeemer, the new conquistador Self-righteous master is revealed to all He plans their extinction, great mother enslaved Ravaged and polluted, they are living their final days Spirit of the eagle, this land is their home Hunted down and murdered, here in the place they were born I found my redemption, ancient prayers of light Brought me from the darkness, here is the place I belong They will never break us, we have to believe They will never break us if our spirit is strong If we can hold on to what we believe They will never break us if our spirit is strong Their children are slaughtered, their families destroyed They are starving to death, and bloody revenge is their right Spirit of the eagle, this land is their home Hunted down and murdered, here in the place they were born I found my redemption, ancient prayers of light Brought me from the darkness, here is the place I belong Here is the place I belong Things that I'll never know, now that I am here Dreams I will always hold as dear as the life that I lost |
