I. The Observance
|
|
An Angel's kiss now fallen
|
Descending scarlet cuts the sky
|
Faded names left on the wall
|
Honor the fighting leave life to die
|
Remembered is the sacrifice but
|
No praisal of blood still flowing
|
Who were the leaders?
|
what controlled the Killing Hand
|
that caused this mourning?
|
Crossing over...
|
|
|
|
|
II. Ancient Renewal
|
|
Lowered deep into the sea
|
Being awaits to cleanse his soul
|
senses weakening time is still
|
Motionless by stiffening cold
|
|
The wheels race back and
|
Scorch his mind
|
Traveling all to find the land
|
Revelation warms a touch
|
And now, he will begin to
|
Understand
|
|
|
|
|
III. The Stray Seed
|
|
Extended a view to yesterday
|
Manifestation for none the same
|
Walking amidst a frightening still
|
No sound, no smoke, no scorching
|
Flames
|
He is risen...
|
|
Sipping his poison the raven sings
|
Yet another to add more bodies fallen
|
King from below
|
this one controls
|
the killing hand that caused this mourning
|
Is it all over?
|
Is it all over?
|
|
|
|
IV. Thorus
|
|
Evil genius this secret plan
|
Mercy dealt with the losing hand
|
Will he ever fall?
|
Can he end it all?
|
Our savior must make his stand
|
|
|
Only a Prophet of years to come
|
Wanting mortality I'm all alone
|
He heard my voice
|
It was my choice
|
I've stopped the Killing Hand
|
|
|
|
V. Exodus
|
|
When I go back again
|
Will it be the same?
|
I've stopped the cries
|
But now they know my name
|
|
The sea is calling me
|
my spirit must return
|
As I get closer,
|
was it really worth
|
what I have learned?
|
|
I'm in the valley
|
And the saddened chimes I hear
|
Race toward the wall to find
|
one more name appears
|
|
No one is left now
|
my one and only land
|
I laugh at what I've done
|
I am the Killing Hand
|
