For Freedom they march Under banners of slavery Lied to and misled Blind to the irony Anthems of Intolerance Self-indulgent ignorance Peasants sew their feilds To feed the monarchy Who neither sew nor reap Yet they live in luxury They propagate inequity On the backs of you and me political economy They feed of inequality It's us against them False dichotomy Black and white disposition Obscures your true enemy Anthems of Intolerance No hope of resistance

Spawned in the first age Forged by cruelty, madness and rage A new method of war Instruments of pain Once beautiful now driven insane From the furnace of Mordor Their light and love have died inside and extinguished their beauty Twisted into madness Abhorrent Purity The higher that you climb The further down you will fall Reborn from heat and slime Reborn from heat and slime Their light and love have died inside and extinguished their beauty Twisted into madness Abhorrent Purity Living weapons dwell in darkness Twisted by cruelty Reveling in chaos Abhorrent Purity

***** in space, witnesses a cosmic horror and interacts with it Song is about what he does to himself and how he validates the mutilation End is a rescue shuttle finds him and is left horrified ***** The alarm sounds As my vision fades Crew lie dead around me My memory fails to recall An explosion? A blast? My ears still ring I am alone and lost Floating in a void of the endless black Out of the port hole What is it I see? A vision? A horror? A fool my eyes must be Spectral terror Shimmers of color Visions of beauty Impending doom ---------Chorus---------------------------------- In my sanctuary Surrounded by stars I've never felt closer Closer to God Unparalleled beauty To share with my friends I'll bring them with me To their cosmic end ---------Chorus Countless maws Countless teeth Speaking to me Words of sacrifice Endless knowledge My mind is clear No need to hear The flesh tears easily No need to speak Which is harder to complete Mouth unhinging I must be unflinching My god demands the sacrifice Body shaking Yet my fear unbreaking My mouth, now gaping ---------Chorus-------- Reaching limbs Grasping my soul I understand the next call I reach for a blade Eviscerated My bowels hung Is this enough yet My lord of no sun? Tendrils reach through Guiding my hand further I can write its gospel For I am it's apostle Image and symbols On the walls I hope they will hear your call Deity of all ---------Chorus The eyes of a god Piercing and old Projecting images of infinity My mind can not withhold Rip my eyes From their place in my head My god demands my focus And I will not dread Its thoughts guide me His path providing All the sustaining I need She has enlightened me ---------Chorus-------- The warmth of blood covers the floor Crimson and pure as I let it pour My hands are stained with this fleeting gift But thanks to you my eyes are now fit The expanse reaches forever On through the endless void Where your form awaits All life's final resting place ---------Chorus-------- The rescue has come, their ship arrived They hurry through the airlock Seeing the fates of the crew They fear what they know already true The hallways marked With sigil and body part Guiding the blind through the maze Flesh without signs yet of decay The final room What a sight The art Ive left for the creator Makes them fall into fright A visage constructed From our meager forms They gasp in awe at my work As I bear a little smirk My body twisted And hung in the air I see no light But feel her glory Frail without anguish Brave without fright Im complete in my struggle Praise the god of the night
