Vale Of Amonition - When Philosophy Turns Dark Lyrics
"Ive lost my memory..."He spake of fire yet he looked like rainWas thread from a past of unwavering faithHis words inspired and his thoughts gave senseHis wisdom was pearls for the ones with less.His mind now consumed with a face he does not knowAnd all seed is grown in the garden of his headSuch evil darkly seed of which we dare not speakIntruding in his skull to destroy all it seeks."My philosophy's turning dark..."He speaks of fire yet he looks like rainHe's bred from a past of broken faithHis wounds have flameAnd the pangs have teethThe scars come alive when there's warmth and heat.The blinded are doomed to never see againAnd all seed is sown in a time of rape and rainThe great calamity of which we shall not speakIs written in our eyes for those who dare to seek.There's a rainbow in an abyss, there's gold in a graveThe hand is undying against this bitter plagueI'll show you some more if you walk through my doorI'll find you the force to shape all you know.There's an eagle in a forest with the face of a doveMy memory's returning with someone else's pastI'll show you some more if you walk through my doorI'll find you the force to shape all you know.There's a phoenix in these ashesThere's an omen in the psalmThe learned one is weeping as philosophy turns darkI'll show you some more if you walk through my doorI'll find you the force to shape all you know."A time and place in days beforeThis mind that's yours was a vessel of mineDid I evolve into something more pleasant?I tremble to think...Looking through you, I see what I becameA mage with words, a prophet of thoughtsDissecting logic and manipulating beliefAre we so different then?I lived to destroy, you think you lived to enrichBut the stench of vanity roams rank and clear in all that you were.""Men are not equal...There's no god until our belief creates himOur blind faith is the fuel for his beingMen are not equal...Believe what you may!Some live solely for the sake of othersSome are misfortunes that should never have happenedFate favors the self servingThus my return cannot be deniedI am here to reclaim the mind that was mineYou should tremble to think..."
