The Great Architect
Rings of fire Looming overhead Are we all doomed to fall Or will we feel the light beyond? Beyond the wall of Fire, fire Terror in the darkness Clouded sight Lost inside the fire Dark as night Terror in the darkness Clouded sight Forever lose the way you’ll Never find Mouth of hell Spewing cleansing fire Pull the Sun down from Heavens high above To earth below Ash fills the sky Eternal night Is there no light beyond? … I alone Rise again Grieve forlorn Our silent kin I alone Rise again Search for all That remains Falling to my knees I bow and pray Alone Scream their names Longing for the warmth of day’s embrace As hope starts to decay There will be no warmth here No sunlight streaming down from above There will be no song now Just bitter silence from a world you once loved There will be no warmth here No sunlight streaming down from above Only pain remains here And bitter silence from a world you once loved I alone Rise again Grieve forlorn Our silent kin There is no Light beyond There is no Light beyond Grieve Grieve (and turn to stone) Grieve (and bleed the throne)

Carving from the universe Space and time mine to control The limitless heavens Free to command Where once was nothing Now galaxies and life Worlds and beasts alike All pure inspiration Heaven and earth Brought forth from within Planets and stars above Brought forth from the void Great architect of the heavens Create and destroy Dimensions interwoven Creating a fabric of galaxies All on a whim of my own The universe is devised And as all things will end So will my creations And they will fall in on themselves As if they never had been They will fall in As if they never had been Planets and stars above Brought forth from the void Great architect of the heavens Create and destroy All life mine to give and to take away Worlds spawned and destroyed at my command Planets and stars above Brought forth from the void Great architect of the heavens Create and destroy

What is this fragile perception of existence that we call our world Imposing constructs of time and rationality What do we know of the machinations of the heavens What can we pretend to understand of the stars? Constant flow of time and reality in which we are but grains of sand shaped by experience altering all perception Perhaps the world has already been destroyed over and over again The afterlife will remain to us an unknown mystery The euphemistic creations of our unconscious minds Warp and twist the apocalypse that has passed us by beyond Bow to the unknown that shapes our lives Bow to the architect building the palace of time The infinite questions of our universe An answer to only one crests a thousand more Constant flow of the river of time and reality In which we are but feeble grains of sand Shaped by experience Altering all perception Bow to the unknown that shapes our lives Bow to the architect building the palace of time The infinite questions of our universe An answer to only one crests a thousand more

Scouring the mountains, sifting through the ash Search for all that remains Of a distant, a brighter past The ancient fire burns no longer Except within my blackened heart I alone vow to strike down The impotent god that failed us Carve into my heart of stone Promises only our kin could know I'll build a world for us No longer silent no longer grieved forlorn My rage will bring Down mountains The loathsome venom in Me will rot the ground Rot the ground My rage will poison oceans The waters of the earth Stained red with blood Stained red with blood I the lord of the Cursed earth will Strike down the God that Failed us Love turns to memory Their faces blur to dust Time erases everything Their names echo and die You betray We obey We endure the Hell you’ve made Hide behind The blackened sky You won’t dare You won’t dare be the first god to die Come down, come down and face me Stand face to face with the demon you’ve created Impotent god, omnipotent coward Come bow to me like cattle to slaughter Stare up at me as you’re bleeding The last sight that you’ll ever see and Know you, the father of lies Have been dethroned and cast down from the skies Great Architect of the heavens You create, and now I’ll destroy Worlds spawned and destroyed at my command Still I have nothing Love turns to memory Their faces blur to dust, dust Seas and forests of the earth Flourish from the ash I will tear the future from the womb And light the funeral pyre of eons past The ancient fire burns once more As blood runs down the empty throne As I desecrate the palace of time and space In search of kin In search of kin and home Carve into my heart of stone Promises only our kin could know I'll build a world for us No longer silent no longer grieved forlorn
