When shall we three meet again?. In thunder, lightning, or in rain?. When the hurly burly's done?. When the battle's lost, not won?. . A tyranny of souls that love has lost.
I mean you no harm. Come closer, learn the truth. Come closer, learn the truth. Come. Bless me, mother, for I have sinned.
Who stole your heartbeat in the night?. The acolytes fearful in the flickering light. They hold a mirror to catch the breath from your mouth. But your breath was stolen by the wind from the south.
I came from nothing before nothing began. Broke the window of existence and became a man. . No sympathy for fools. My star is black and burned. I tilt towards the light.
We ride the cosmic streams of time. We are the fools you came to trust. We blind the eyes of history. We tear ourselves down from your cross. . Half lives.
Break the bread and drink the wine. Seize the chalice, suck the poison vine. There is frost in every sunbeam. Water flows from the earth to sky. . Looking down on every rose.
Is this a citadel? Is this a prison cell?. Who sits at my right hand now? Who's watching me now?. Who made us live this way? When do I get my say?. Automation turns us into human beings now.
Distant earth rise long ago. Lingers at the borders of our minds. Mysteries spinning in the dark. In the frozen emptiness of time. . We were lost and we never knew.
Blood brothers of angels now hear us. We earthbound your offspring, don't fear us. God willing, we'll rise up, be near you. So open your arms now, and take us.
He rides the wave, aspiring slave. The prince of darkness plays his games. You're hypnotized, under velvet skies. He breathes the red wind 'cross your eyes.
You wanna know where legends live?. At the rainbow's end I'll be there. There's a place in inner space. That's where I'll get to you. . I'm not the shy retiring kind.
Smoking, resting on its grave. The carcass rusting where it lies. No more truth, no honest games. The serpent writhes within us all. . Lava streams of molten flesh.
There, on a lonely desert hilltop. The pilgrims huddle closer. Waiting for a sign, the coming silver shrine. The arc of space and time. . Truth, oh, the truth is never clear.
I wake in sweat, you've come to steal my life away. Some strange electric glow of artificial day. The power breakers close, the grid of darkness falls.
When shall we three meet again?. In thunder, lightning, or in rain?. When the hurly burly's done?. When the battle's lost, not won?. . A tyranny of souls that love has lost.
