Dawn Of A Golden Age Lyrics - Singles - Roadrunner United

Moon childe 

Spawned of rage 

Soon childe... 

The dawning of a golden age 

Four and twenty acts have passed 

Since the pact was signed in blood 

Now this fifth lustrum will surely grasp 

The children of the holy 

With music wracked like final gasps 

From hearts that broken, flood 

Whilst ruby-wedding talons clasp 

This silver anniversary 

Moon childe 

Spawned of rage 

Soon childe... 

The dawning of a golden age 

Vermillion rivers slither past 

Racing roads to Shangri-La 

Where a million souls aquiver ask 

Small mercies of the holy 

Like flowers plucked from crimson tar 

On florid banks, the priests 

Waft their scent through horrid bars 

To incense the greater beast 

Bereft of their seas of sweet dreams 

He brings tidings of pain 

War songs in the key of death 

Sharpened through famine and plague 

The knife at the throat of all murder 

He wrote whilst in chains 

"And there was given to him a mouth 

Speaking great things and blasphemies 

And power was given unto him 

To blaspheme against God 

And them that dwell in heaven 

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints 

And to overcome them..." 

And risen from imprisonment 

With so many nations to tame 

Past Caesars and Tsars are but lesions and scars 

To the backs of beyond he reclaims 

For what is not told nor writ bold to his face 

Is now whispered to the torturer's cheek 

And with the rapport whores and sorcerers make 

His kingdom embraces both the Pope and the State 

The suck and the fuck of the wait and 

A glut and a covetous Satan 

The suck and the fuck of the wait and 

Come what may 

A glut and a covetous Satan 

Pre-ordained 

Moon childe 

Spawned of rage 

Soon childe... 

The dawning of a golden age
