Into The Mountain of Power 36:40 ☩ ☩ ☩ Christening in Blood So many souls, they cry from yore Numberless and woebegone They err in limbo, a futile toil Their bones are crumbling deep in the soil Still so far from firmament Wherein salvation is still to be dreamt Amid the thrones of Heaven Their prayer wasn't heard A lost offering of life And blood of the saints Adorned in scarlet, Babylon whore Is drunk with martyr's blood Their martyrdom has sanctified Altars made of gold Upon their mounds the beast was born Behold its filth and seven horns Amid the thrones of Heaven Their prayer wasn't heard A lost offering of life And blood of the saints I pray for the eyes to see I beg for the wits to know To discern the rightful path And set myself upon I wash my soul with blood I wear the crown of thorns To consecrate my sacrifice To sit among the Holy ones Upon their mounds the beast was born Behold its filth and seven horns ☩ ☩ ☩ A Hundredfold Cursed I look upon your lives so thwarted Greatness promised but never achieved Essence of being blemished with awe Besotted mob with grace foregone There will be no redemption No solace and no refuge Stars will not align for us We have paid obeisance to a foul phantasm I'm not a misbeliever Yet You want to see me burn You all are blinded in your zeal You are the devil's tool So benighted in your deeds So I'm a hundredfold cursed My hermitage, my harbour of otherness My asceticism, my heresy I fled from unendurable sophistry From bereft jesters wallowing in duplicity We are such indolent heirs Always deaf for prophet's words Burning pyre against the wisdom's torch Our ancestry traces from the void ☩ ☩ ☩ ꜱʜᴏᴜʟᴅ ᴄᴏᴘʏʀɪɢʜᴛ ʜᴏʟᴅᴇʀ ɴᴏᴛ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ꜰᴀɴ ᴘʀᴏᴍᴏᴛɪᴏɴ, ᴘʟᴇᴀꜱᴇ ᴅʀᴏᴘ ᴀ ʟɪɴᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴍᴀᴛᴇʀɪᴀʟ ꜱʜᴀʟʟ ʙᴇ ᴅᴇʟᴇᴛᴇᴅ. ᴛʜɪꜱ ɪꜱ ᴀ ɴᴏɴ-ᴍᴏɴᴇᴛɪᴢᴇᴅ ᴄʜᴀɴɴᴇʟ ꜱᴏ ɪ'ᴍ ɴᴏᴛ ᴍᴀᴋɪɴɢ ᴍᴏɴᴇʏ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ᴜᴘʟᴏᴀᴅᴇᴅ ᴍᴀᴛᴇʀɪᴀʟꜱ. ᴛʜᴀɴᴋꜱ
