Released from the bondage Bloodlust is turned to knowledge I will kill you Return into the carnage Sentient forms have risen Time is an endless prison You will die I'll become cold and wizened You know your place in history Are you denying I am free? Any prophet of this new dark age can see Rise from the tomb of millions Crawl to become reptilian I will kill you Mammalian rebellion Like those who came before you Life never ceased to bore you You will die History will ignore you Then you'll engage in sophistry Why can't you handle being free? Another victim of a slaughter prophecy No need for ritual slaughter Bow to the crest of martyrs You will evolve But not getting any smarter You think the truth will set you free While you're denying what you see Any prophet of this new dark age can see

And when they came They came from far To make their claim For sake of ale Lantern and earth Expanse of sea Wisdom and mirth They laid us low And took our wives And left their woe Ireland before the Gauls Ursu the son of Bran Then the Latins drove our cattle across the wasted land Conchobor MacNessa reaches out from mother's womb As the night sky tells a tale of doom

Descending and turning A shadow with soles in his hand Standing alone by the garden I hear his command Swaying blindly, under a moribund sun Strangely the pain has only begun Painlessly crossing the yard-lines, the ball in his hand Piles of bodies dispatched in the grass and the sand Helmets crashing, under the weight of the one Vaguely aware the pain has begun Out of the window the sirens of slaughter begin Whistling alone in the silence I hear them come in Fading, blinded, foraging under the leaves Strangely the pain is finally relieved

Twelve herds on the mainland's shore Gathering slaughter I wait I'll bring you my finest boar Driving the droves to their fate I am a swineherd awaiting my master's return From the city of Troy The anger of Gods increase Gathering slaughter to burn The baying of hounds won't cease Long for their master they yearn Suitors will fall to the hand of my master Upon his triumphant return The insolent suitors boast Carelessly stalking their prey I'm ranging the island's coast Searching my mind for a way I am a swineherd impatiently waiting The spilling of blood on that day

Swept on the shore by the light of the silver moon's glaive Creeping of dawn through the streets in the rags of a slave Once I was lord of this kingdom from city to sea Now twenty years past the townsfolk are laughing at me Crouched in the hut of the swineherd I don my disguise Faced with the kindness and questions I meet them with lies Dirty and smoke-stained I'm all shriveled flesh, gnarled limb Touched by the hand of the goddess my eyes become grim

Your random faith has run away Abandoned traits of yesterday And stripped of everything but balls and blood Your cryptic message finally understood The message comes in loud and clear You'll force the world to adhere The only consolation I can find Is in the legacy you left behind See them driven before you Through the eyes of a slave Once they tried to ignore you Now you spit on their grave

Now I can see that you're trying to ignore me Leaving my blood on your trail Where are the voices of those who adore me? I wait for the truth to prevail Look in my mind, you can see that it's churning Fate is no crime, now the pages are burning Now as you ask from the grave for forgiveness Promising riches of old Laugh in your face as I'm rolling in stitches And wait for the truth to be told Look in my eyes, you can see that they're burning Fate is no crime, now the pages are turning

Starport nightlife in its twilight has become obscene Military women they won't keep your conscience clean Thought police won't stop me messing around Tangled in my body suit I slip into the night Hoping against all hope she will understand my plight Smart patrol won't keep my feet on the ground Went out for a midnight rendezvous on brothel row Cybernetic overcharge will make her circuits blow

A man out of time Succumbing to false pride Abandoned the cause I'm caught on the wrong side Ageless matter fills mind blood and scatters Time weighs heavy on shoulders of the brave The curtain of time will fall on a dark age The mighty will fall But I'll overcome rage Burled deep beneath the raging waters Fortune, freedom, beyond the hand of time I've fallen from grace But stricken with reason Your time has arrived And I'm out of season Ageless matter fills my mind and shatters Burn the future, the past will come alive

No need for ritual slaughter Bow to the crest of martyrs I was born to pine away Sacrificed at the alter Cast down by your exalter Haven't you got any shame? Agony's the way that heroes rise Covering your craft in morbid lies Prostrate your mind and body Hopelessly worn and bloody Following the hand of fate Goodbye to bold romances Castrated song and dances Purgatory just can't wait Any other way we're sure to fail Bleed for me today, you'll soon prevail Your fate is on your hands, so measure up your might And cut me to the chase, 'cause now its fight or flight Agony's the way that heroes rise Coveting your corpses I surmise

I've been to this place before I'm fighting a silent war with you I've carried this cross for too long Nailed to my body bleeding And off of my blood you're feeding You buried your thorns around my bed Memories of caterwaul Resound against the hand of violence Randomly decides the fate of man While inside your callous dreams I'm banging on the gates of sorrow Trying to find a way to understand You think the truth will set you free While you're still rotting here with me Your subtle adaptation Was my extermination And now your lies have conquered me You think the past will come alive And with that hopeless faith you strive My fate's beyond selection Your flaws beyond correction Only the weakest will survive You think the truth will set you free I'll test your idle prophecy Your lies are all recessive My truth is retrogressive More than you're likely to foresee
