From Shadows Arisen
ORPHALIS
From shadows arisen
An ancient evil
Beyond the stars
Beyond the ocean's veil
An elemental foe
A blight to all
Apocalyptic nightmare
Answering to none
Listen to me, I speak
Defy the voice of reason
You want what I will bring
At last
All you want from here on out
Listen to me, I speak
There is no one to reason
Fool's gold's what I have brought
At last
Mind at rest from here on out
Visions, downfall, all corrupted
Vicious slaughter of the soul and of the
Pious liars
You have accepted guilt
The pain of retreat hard to swallow
We all bear witness to
The death of innocence
Take it upon yourself
Be the first to cast your stones
Your words ring true violence
Yet I have grown deaf
There's comfort in silence
Ignorance in bliss
The blind prophet with mouth open wide
A voice overpowering
Resistance is futile
Truer words yet to be verbalized
And every deed so sane
To doubt the immaculate
A death sentence
To think else would be insane
Defy reality
Rising above your own perception
Constructing it all to your liking now
Shaping the world according to words
What's being spoken will become real
Stuck in this system
Preaching all the lies ingrained
Beliefs made manifest
And idiots made to believe
Take in all of my words
Live by everything I say
You are all my scapegoats
Rejoice, strung up on the cross
Your words ring true violence
Yet I have grown deaf
There's comfort in silence
Ignorance in bliss
Listen to me, I speak
Defy the voice of reason
You want what I will bring
At last
All you want from here on out
Listen to me, I speak
There is no one to reason
Fool's gold's what I have brought
At last
Mind at rest from here on out
