Beyond the Crimson Horizon

Shifting silent shades of seething thoughts abroad Amuck in shallow graves not of solid Earth Silhouette charades of cascading shattered walls Confusing conscience craves but we must not fall... At the first sign of light We approached the once closed door A gaping hole to that beyond Where men should go no more Descending stairs of icy stone Carved by man himself We built these frigid cavern halls Where limbonic lives have crept The seeds of the desolate Sown in the blood of ourselves The seeds of the desolate Have we forever failed? We stepped into that swallowing void Exchanging life for death Descending downward ever intent Taking life from our fellow man I speak to fragile forms in moving mass To men with intent awry To solid forms of Earthen mind Whose burden equals mine

Torch lit halls Deceit that burns The dragon's lair The blackened air The face is now upturned Deceiving mask Your silent sword The tithe of sin The lion's den Blasphemy unto your lord The Black Castle of Rome Midnight's shallow home Monument of lies Blinding faithful eyes Cathedral bells your faithful tears The divine right The fearless might Play upon men's fears Burning the wise in fires of gold The dogs of doom The empty tomb Millions of faltering souls Our destiny turned Never to learn The saving grace The endless faith Has condemned us all to burn

Ancient black and silent fire Within your hearts creates desire To covet far beyond your need The embers of eternal Greed Destroy the Earth and cloud the sky Fill your chests with other's lives A Midas curse - A deadly shroud And "all for what?"I ask you now Armies fill Towers of Greed Ultimate drones of deceit Selling you won hopes and dreams For nothing is nothing it seems Godsend The Crimson wind You'll die with nothing In the end... There is only pain within There is only pain for sin Still trapped inside the hourglass Toil and break our backs 'till death Chained to our dying breath Behind the mask of loneliness Forever burning golden pyre Weeping tears of crimson flame For ashes that shall bear your name So I ask you once again Why must you forever exchange The peace that gold can buy For the vanity that it may?

It came upon one night When Nemesis besieged Lightning streaked across the sky And thunderclouds did scream It came upon one night On land the seas had turned Typhoons swept with certain death Air began to burn Apocalypse is born Nightmares will begin It came upon one night so bittersweet the end The world was cloaked in darkness And winter brought the rain A poisoned soul was pondering This mortal fool's to blame Defense became the joke of the day Rivalry the nations now regret Politicians threw our lives away The day that dust and ice the Earth beset Into battle cried the poor As famine took its toll The world had turned so desolate That nothing much would grow Apocalypse was born Nightmares had begun Nature claimed a victory As neither side had won The world was all asunder When sorrow took a leave Hatred fled when Christ returned to Earth as King...

Moments last to our closing eyes No one gets out alive The ring of truth bears no weight Of prophecy none too late The glassy eye of measured time A witness to our mortal lies On we stride our love behind Too blind to see the other side Destroy The hourglass Unchain the sands of time Fly on... Return our chance for life Pouring sand... Drowning souls Rising... Falling... Beyond control Tears of hope now lost to me Cast upon the ancient sea Forever trapped behind the glass Tomorrow now becomes the past

Today I weep And who shall do the same For empty halls and shadowed flames For kin that nigh remain Tonight I sleep And nightmares have their reign In grayish dawns and visions gone The world is not the same Tomorrow see A lonely child in pain His father torn in tides of war But tears cannot regain I cannot believe As I see the fading sun The child has turned and gone away The future now is done

In the world of distortions Procreation our doom Images set before us Weigh false in truth Swords from other lands Are wet with blood An enemy invades us The great plague has come Leaders of the twisted sect Backwards in their love Bind upon terror's chain Shackles of the prophet's vision The Plague of Procreation The white satin blood The Plague of Procreation On Earth it is done In a madman's deliverance Destruction's fire This drive inside our veins Only fool's desire Through shallow cities vast Crying souls pray for death Like ruins that never collapse In the final face of regret

"Through the door of endless time We fall beyond the burning sky Like clouds that ever sink behind The crimson horizon's fading line."
