Kobra and the Lotus
Album • 2014
Trampling creation, a vision destroyed Eternal dissident noise Crippling the earth as it falls in his void Fearing the hate in his eyes Show no mercy, leave no pride Life of ruin, leave them blind Dark lord, he will betray Discord, infecting with decay Here comes the war horse Built to destroy you Here comes the war horse Burn in hell! Here comes the war horse We will destroy you Here comes the war horse Burn in hell! Galloping malice, a thunder of fear Brought by a steed of demise Capturing, torturing, sucking them in With gifts of corruption and lies Show no mercy, hear them cry As they suffer, they will die Dark lord, he will betray Melkor, infecting with decay Here comes the war horse Built to destroy you Here comes the war horse Burn in hell! Here comes the war horse We will destroy you Here comes the war horse Burn in hell! Where do we go from here? War horse is getting near How do we get away? This is the end of days Where do we go from here? War horse is getting near How do we get away? War horse has come to slay! War horse! War horse! War horse! War horse! War horse! Here comes the war horse Built to destroy you Here comes the war horse Burn in hell! Here comes the war horse We will destroy you Here comes the war horse Burn in hell!

Come a little closer, let me tell you who I am I’m the bleeding bullet hole infecting all the land Killing off humanity, a craving mouth for war Burning skies I leave behind for generations more I am – devastation I am – retribution I am – delivering hell You tell me why! I am, I am – all that’s inside you I am, I am – evil burning through I am, I am – the seed of your destruction Self-fulfilling prophecy! Look into the glass and tell me what do you see Is it your reflection or the devil running free? You spread temptation with your pestilence greed Self-afflicting genocide and endless misery I am – devolution I am – execution I am – condemning us all You tell me why! I am, I am – all that’s inside you I am, I am – evil burning through I am, I am – the seed of your destruction Self-fulfilling prophecy! I am the plague of suffering I am the bane You are the same I am, I am – all that’s inside you I am, I am – evil burning through I am, I am – the seed of your destruction Self-fulfilling prophecy! I am, I am... I am, I am... I am, I am... Self-fulfilling prophecy!
One night I heard the forest calling out my name Whispers of stolen magic from the darkness came Walking in the rain Sacred grains of dust Through the moonlit valley Warm winds I trust I hear the calling of a heartbeat Aching from what we have done to this earth Silence, a symphony of beauty Taking its life, sacrificed for rebirth Carelessly light the match and watch the future burn And now I see we’ve made a path of no return Songs of ancient words Chanting from the earth Echoes to remind me where I came from I hear the calling of a heartbeat Aching from what we have done to this earth Silence, a symphony of beauty Taking its life, sacrificed for rebirth (I hear the calling of a heartbeat) (Aching from what we have done to this earth...) Silence, a symphony of beauty Taking its life, sacrificed for rebirth I hear the calling of a heartbeat What have we done to this earth? Silence, a symphony of beauty Life sacrificed for rebirth

Hello! My friend! I can’t wait to see you again I’ve counted the seconds, and minutes, hours Wondering if you’re thinking the same And the moment comes As the seasons change And nobody knows What are we waiting for? Hold on my love (Hold on before it’s taken away) So long my love (So long to these pale blue days) So close, I can feel it, can you taste it? I’m here, there, everywhere the light fills your holes I breathe just to know you’re alive And the moment comes As the seasons change Still nobody knows What are we waiting for?! Hold on my love (Hold on before it’s taken away) So long my love (So long to these pale blue days) Hold on my love (Hold on before it’s taken away) So long my love (So long to these pale blue days...) Take me back so I may crawl into your heart deep within Take me back to your home where our life can begin Take me back to where these pale days are no longer blue I’ve hidden your word so I never may sin against you I never may sin against you (What are we waiting for?) (What are we waiting for?) Hold on my love (Hold on before it’s taken away) So long my love (So long to these pale blue days) Hold on my love (Hold on before it’s taken away) So long my love (So long to these pale blue days)

I seek enlightenment on lotus black and white Tell me of my destiny while I am still alive Oh goddess of the dead, what’s carved upon your stone? Of existence and denial, in a veil of the unknown All seeking rider, your journey now begins High priestess! – Show me what you see High priestess! – Who I am and what I’ll be High priestess! – Secrets that you hide High priestess! – Come to me High priestess is the justice High priestess is the knife That leaves the wicked bleeding Yet she has spared my life What’s behind your curtain? Savior of the damned Reveal to me this ecstasy I honor your command All seeking rider, your journey’s reached the end High priestess! – Show me what you see High priestess! – Who I am and what I’ll be High priestess! – Secrets that you hide High priestess! – Come to me! She brings the sun when the black moon rises As I hear her call, fills me with light And the will to guide us as I take her throne (Come to me...) (Come to me...) High priestess! – You will worship me High priestess! – I was always meant to be High priestess! – Secrets are all mine High priestess! – Bow to me!

(Attention! Attention! Primary transport entering hostile territory. All units arm weapons and prepare for disembark. Mission objective: defeat the enemy at all costs. Civilian life is negligible. Delete all those who oppose. Failure is not an option...) Fear, fear in his eyes Knowing the end has come and there’s nowhere to run Flashing before him a lifetime in seconds His brothers lay dead on the ground Holding his destiny inside my hands With my gun I am crushing his dreams And I see blood In my eyes (in my eyes) I will die a benevolent soldier Take my life oh this gift of mine In my eyes (in my eyes) I will fall a benevolent soldier My demise behind enemy lines I, I walk away Is there a consequence for this decision I’ve made? Feeling a sting in my back I fall questioning what my compassion has done I put my destiny inside his hands It’s kill or be killed with my honor And I see blood In my eyes (in my eyes) I will die a benevolent soldier Take my life oh this gift of mine In my eyes (in my eyes) I will fall a benevolent soldier My demise behind enemy lines (Oh...) In my eyes (in my eyes) I died a benevolent soldier Take my life oh this gift of mine In my eyes (in my eyes) I fell a benevolent soldier My demise behind enemy lines Take my life!

Shoulder to shoulder stand upon this tortured ground Breathing the cold, withered ashes with borrowed breath My human will is bound to broken souls I’ve found Pain of despair only relents to death Oh I will find a way To live another day Oh... pray for the sunrise Battle of souls burn in the sky Oh... angel of mercy Breathe in the gloom that clouds my eyes (ah... ah...) The steel may pierce my arm, the battle rages on Through my veins rushes insidious conflict If I survive my fate an emptiness awaits Leading me hollow and tempted by death Oh I will find a way To live another day Oh... pray for the sunrise Battle of souls burn in the sky Oh... angel of mercy Breathe in the gloom that clouds my eyes (ah... ah...) ...Shoulder to shoulder stand upon this tortured ground... ...My human will is bound to broken souls I’ve found... ...Shoulder to shoulder stand upon this tortured ground... ...My human will is bound to broken souls I’ve found... ...To broken souls I’ve found... (Marching! Your feet are marching) (You fall!) (Marching! Your feet are marching) (You fall!) (Marching! Your feet are marching) (You fall!) (Marching! Your feet are marching) (You fall!) I feel it, it’s coming I’m in the final hour! Oh I will find a way! (Oh I will find a way!) To live another day! (To live another day!) Oh... pray for the sunrise Battle of souls burn in the sky Oh... angel of mercy Breathe in the gloom that clouds my eyes Oh... pray for the sunrise Oh... Oh... angel of mercy Oh...

Commence the kingdom in the valley where she lay Dreaming an arising prophet, the blessed they would say Sacred the mountain where they bathed her in perfume Fair was the body, placed the lotus in her womb I will reach the highest heaven This is my last birth Cross the ocean of existence Foremost of the world Jealous of his meditation Seduction claimed by death Witnessing his worthiness, he pointed down Earth shook its head Shook its head! I will reach the highest heaven This is my last birth Cross the ocean of existence Foremost of the world Mother! Can you see her pure intention? Visionary of the world Mother! Can you see her pure intention? Visionary, to bear this child of the earth Child of the earth! I will reach the highest heaven This is my last birth Cross the ocean of existence Foremost of the world, of the world

Merciless winter with spears of frozen rain Crystals of mourning for those to come and those who’ve came Slipping through whirlwinds of vision quests of loss They’re all but orphans of the peace within the frost Merciless winter Taking the givers Knees at the foot of the willow Under one thousand eyes that shine for every soul Kneeling at the foot of the willow Leaves of fallen ones Vowed forever weeping Oh arctic sapphire with painted shields of rust Solstice of life’s warriors in gales of diamond dust Heart of horizon, veins of crystal gloss They’re still but orphans of the peace within the frost Merciless winter Why do you linger? Kneel at the foot of the willow Under one thousand eyes that shine for every soul Kneeling at the foot of the willow Leaves of fallen ones Vowed forever weeping (Leaves of virtue!) (Leaves of virtue!) Holy leaves of fallen angels Vowed eternal Weeping willow Kneel at the foot of the willow Under one thousand eyes that shine for every soul Kneeling at the foot of the willow Leaves of fallen ones Vowed forever weeping (Leaves of virtue!) (Leaves of virtue!)

I’ve been searching for answers in the river of my soul Aimlessly seeking the holy who will take me from this cold Timeless night I am lost and have no where to go Bring me sight So I may find my home As I kneel my heart in the field of frozen memories Looking up I am asking to stop the ground crumbling from my feet Timeless night I am lost and have no where to go Bring me sight So I may find my home... Shine for me now sweet cosmic eyes I am singing to you from the shadows I feel lost in this dark without your light Oh cosmic eyes! Sing to me from the skies! And guide my way! Guide my way Gone with my sweet surrender Shining bright, all knowing eyes I’ll find my way back home Shine for me now sweet cosmic eyes I am singing to you from the shadows I feel lost in this dark without your light Oh cosmic eyes! Sing to me from the skies! And guide my way! Oh... Oh... Oh... Oh... I am lost in the shadows, guide my way

Here I stand, looking up to a vault of heaven Callous walls locking out my soul What I seek, emancipation Strengthening the weakness in my bones Feel my body ripped apart by vultures Mortal thoughts inside a ravenous chamber Deep inside your fortress Shapeless souls of loneliness Will I find you heartless? I'll break through your, I'll break through your fortress Crashing down are these memories forsaken Through the trenches I am found I am free, liberation Wiping out this eternal cloud Feel my body ripped apart by vultures Mortal thoughts inside a ravenous chamber Deep inside your fortress Shapeless souls of loneliness Will I find you heartless? I'll break through your, I'll break through your fortress And I would leave my heart right here And walk away cold and pale for years Through thorns, I would bleed no more I will be your fortress! Deep inside your fortress Shapeless souls of loneliness Will I find you heartless? I'll break through your, I'll break through your fortress!

Waking up on a dead, dried lawn I'm once again on the other side I see the dawn rising in the wrong place My sense of purpose here has come untied Caught in a coma, I numb out the debris Of all the self afflicted pieces I don't want to see Sleep walking, I forget how to dream Because I'm just another screw inside society How can we know? We've got no place else to go! We are, we are Living in a steel toe nation We are, we are Working every night and day We are, we are Soldiers of our generation We are, we are Marching in the black parade I'm setting up a definitive line That's separating actuality from what is a lie I'm tearing down the scene that's causing a haze Stopping this mental suffocation that we all are enslaved Born into chaos, I'm innate to the pain Of what it's like to be forgotten as the world stays the same To be alive, feel in charge, feeling free Is a rhythm to a drum not part of our history How can we know? We've got no place else to go! We are, we are Living in a steel toe nation We are, we are Working every night and day We are, we are Soldiers of our generation We are, we are Marching in the black parade We are the future of our nation We are the soldiers of our generation We are, we are Living in a steel toe nation We are, we are Working every night and day We are, we are Soldiers of our generation We are, we are Marching in the black parade We are marching in the black parade!
