The Ruins of Fading Light
We sail the sands of time Watching our shadows grow long Dragging our bones cross the rocks Believing we could remain strong For every chink in our armor There is a notch in our hilt Though so weak and so weary No sturdier man can be built But I have looked beyond the veil I pulled back the curtain and stared into hell I have seen the dragon and demons now know my name Child don't cry, I'll return in the black candle flame The black iron gnosis The templars black candle flame We found ourselves a-wandering So far from home Beaten on the heels of sisyphus 'Cross cedar and stone But O! how these shadows did grow Long in the tooth and the nail They had such horrors to show And unholy secrets to tell But I would lay down my sword and pray Just to see the freedom of my people some day Hell is going to swallow Earth and take our souls away Open up your eyes and realize the black candle flame BURN Black iron gnosis The templars black candle flame

To take the ashen mark upon one's head To enter in to sacred rites To read aloud the secrets left unsaid Is to know Sophia's light Signs and sigils Painted on the floor Blood and sinew Open up the door The shackles have been loosened from your hands The blindfold taken off your eyes An ancient codex from distant lands Reveals wisdom this world belies Signs and sigils Painted on the floor Blood and sinew Open up the door Raise the chalice Drinking deep the blood Spill the last few Drops upon the floor Key of Solomon Conjure unholy name Key of Solomon In the flame Clothe yourself in the exorcist robes Make the sign of the cross and the rose Calling demons from the land of Nod East of Eden, where Cain lived out his exile from your God

There is a light at the end of the road Where no birds sing and the cold wind blows And a sign reads welcome home Nearing the light the hour grows late I wrap my fingers 'round the lock at the gate Gonna call this place my home Come down Moses, the mountain's on fire That brazen serpent in your hand Your god has made me a liar I bite my tongue or I'd be damned I've opened the door And crossed the threshold I'm searching for more And I'm calling your name O! at the end of life there's nothing more Begging for scraps at the master's table The table's bare, the legs are unstable I've never tasted a crumb Sister, heal me, my side is on fire Spear, Ichor, Wine This thirst has made me a liar I've never tasted it, but I'm told it's divine I've opened the door And crossed the threshold I'm searching for more And did you call my name? Well here I am, now where are you? I thought for sure you said you'd be here to meet me.. But there's nothing here but solitude So is this my reward for believing? Just tattered memories unravelled by insanity At the end of life there's nothing If you come to my grave as darkness draws near You'll read no name, just these words: "I wish you were here." If you, come to my grave as darkness draws near You will read no name, just these words: "I wish you were here." At the Reverend's grave Cry out Here I am, now where are you? I thought for sure you said you'd be here to meet me But there's nothing here but solitude So is this my reward for believing Just tattered memories unravelled by insanity O! at the end of life there's nothing more

Time has a way of levelling mountains Raising sea beds to the sky And when the dust has finally settled The earth will heave a laden sigh A final moment of perfect stillness Unseen by any man's eye Where the veil is finally lifted I am here to testify Time has a way of ending all wars Testing false witnesses, now laid to rest In the end be no winners and losers Corpses rot, by the sun they'll be blessed The final moments of perfect stillness When the wars are finally won Death breathes a sigh as Phanuel cries (for) Our rotten husks in the setting sun O! they tell me there's a new world ahead O! I know I've seen it, I've seen the dead I looked over the edge of the rainbow I stood atop thunder head Far away a dark horizon We are lost and Christ is Dead I'll shout it from the highest steeple I'll drink from the holy sea I'll stare into the eyes of the devil Til' I know we are truly free

Seraphic shadows dot the sky Tattered wings on the horizon And at bruised first light we'll fly Like the veins of hell opened up to the dawn I have seen the night time sun Turnin' the rainbow black The histories can't be undone Come on, now there's no turning back The fire in our eyes is real (Now) Can you see it burn When they tell us how to feel There are lessons they must learn Savage kings have ruled too long We're only serfs and thralls But there is power in our song It can shake the castle walls The world is cold And I've lost my hold Yet here we are screaming for magic I can feel their eyes They're inside my mind It's all so real and it's tragic Wrap yourself Around my arm My roots are like roadmaps they twist and they vine Sink your teeth Into my veins The same foolish blood that runs through yours and mine We'll take up snakes Self-righteous Holier than-thou We'll take up snakes Until the fires come raining down Now fire rain down The crimson slash in the sky is ours now Do you feel it burn Calling on unholy powers There are lessons they must learn Standing at the mouth of hell The trumpet sounding (ring out) Now our kingdom is at hand Come and take us if you can The world is cold And I've lost my hold Yet here we are screaming for magic I feel their eyes They're inside my mind It's all so real and it's tragic Wrap yourself Around my arm My roots are like roadmaps they twist and they vine Sink your teeth Into my veins The same foolish blood that runs through yours and mine We'll take up snakes Self righteous holier than thou We'll take up snakes With poison in our veins we will drown We'll take up snakes Until the fires come raining down

O! I Bring your disaster Become your master You're now my slave And I Ride in on thunder Your bones crushed under The roads I pave Pray for death I'm going to laugh as you Pray for death Beneath the torchfire glare O! You Good for nothing Down and lowly Dog at my legs You will Die Under my footstep Trod and sullied Don't try to beg Beneath the torchfire glare Pray for death I'm going laugh as you Pray for death For I have been where you are I know the pain that you now feel I let you in my home Just to taste the venom of your steel You made a fool of me When I let in my sacred home So as the lizard sheds its tail You'll shed your freedom Make peace with misery Whisper your worthless prayer My face is the last you will see Beneath the torchfire glare

Gather at my feet innocent children These warnings I beg you to take heed Lean in close as I whisper, ya know... These secrets that the devils tried to keep Life is just a foolish game, oh child We play by the rules just to go another round We cry when we lose and say the rules seem so unkind And love is the prize for the fool who has followed the rules when death dons his crown Now here's another secret to remember I read it in the writings on the wall There's a whisper of truth in everything There is bitterness in the lies your father told It may be revealed for only a moment and quickly it fades away Like dewdrops on the spider's web before the morning gold Raise your hands, lift up high your voice Death is sure, so in life rejoice Hell is all around, heaven is just a dream Unleash yourself from this mortal coil and be redeemed O! life is a losing game Try and fail, laugh and wail, up and down, and around and around And we cry when we lose and they say the rules seem so unkind And love will burn away at the dawn of the day When there's nothing to say Cause' you're dead in the ground Our corpses, our vessels Our spirits will alight Naked and nervous In the ruins of fading light In flesh epistles The meaning will arise No heaven, just hell In the ruins of fading light We die Our corpses, our vessels Our spirits will alight Naked and nervous In the ruins of fading light In flesh epistles The meaning will arise No heaven, just hell In the ruins of fading light Corpses, flesh vessels Our spirits will take flight No heaven, just hell The ruins of fading light These flesh epistles Have you searched for the truth to arrive? There's no heaven In the ruins of fading light we die
