Prelude To Ruin Lyrics - Fates Warning

Look to sunrise man tell me what you see 

The eagle has flown underground abandoned you abandoned me 

Fifty two burning stars are burning up the sky 

Blazing torch falls to the ocean bottom where black predictions lie 

Have you faith in scripture visions of kings 

Reaper of reality your destiny the sisters sing 

Vultures scavenge the subconcious of your mind 

Their ally is time for you to fall and yield your mind to the cynic 

They should be held so high and not looked down upon 

They are the root of the country 

the roots so firm and tranquil 

when will the spirits be welcomed 

listen, the music is heard again 

when there are lofty high roof tops 

carved walls and yielding crops 

When the palace is wild for lusting 

When the forest is wild for hunting 

Existence of any one thing 

has never been but the prelude to ruin 

Wars and temper tantrums are the makeshifts of ignorance 

Regrets illuminate too late, Depth beyond sin is fathomed 

wandering through the devils field sowing his seed 

Guardian angel guide us through the night 

we compel his long constant fight 

The moerea they call your destiny 

the sisters all of three 

Clotho she spun the web to live 

the thread so tentative 

Lachesis she measured out the years 

Atropus cuts the thread with her shears 

Time time time an imagery line 

mine not yours nor yours mine 

They lead the blind back to the mothers womb 

tomb of the unborn child 

Coming events cast their shadows before wintery wind 

The eye of the storm witness the past, the future holds more prelude to ruin
