1. Intro
2. I Of The Storm
I've seen the sunshine on the black side of the moon
and I've seen the faces that laugh and turned to cry
see his disguise see the laugh in his eyes
drink from the tear that he cries
I've watched the grey man wishing he were young like me
and I've seen the child and the young fool
that he tries hard not to be
and I've seen the strong
as they prayed on bended knees
and I've watched the beggar
counted his short-changed
riches for the feast
Pray, pray
storm has come
it's judgement day
running from the sun
chosen one has come
to light the way
Cry, cry
bow our heads and wonder why
gavel of his honor
hammers down
then we're sent away
See his disguise
see the laugh in his eyes
drink from the tear
that he cries
I've seen the towers
lying crumbled at my feet
and I've seen the cities
and the wastelands that remain
and I've seen the victory
and the prize that none shall keep
and the short time
that the glory hides the pain
3. Halo Of Thorns
Whispered alone
the song of an angel
echoes of a fallen tear
Frayed by the wind
a weed by a willow
withered and yellow
she lays her head to die
lays to die
Reading the script
of the play that we lead
Christ I'd die again
o' if I could save you now
you knew this had to come
spare me the sacrilege
this play had brought upon us
lay in my dying hour
It feels like I'm
Falling, falling
flying, tripping
this crown of kings
this bloody halo bleeds me dry
hear me cry
As in the script
of the play that we lead
So I rise again
much stronger than before
a child sacrifice
let me lay down this bloody cross
we've dragged so far behind us
and close this theatre now
Weaping over this crooked cross
lying face down in the blood of saints
just write me out of this play
4. Nothing
Not so long ago there was a time
the naive animal was a wiser thing
and these devils that we accept as reality
did not exist here before
nor do I think they were meant to be
They have enshrouded themselves
with the comforts of wealth
inside this temple of material things
which they cling to
all because the hand
was much easier to see than the spirit
and upon the educated discovery of this
they have made their decision
not only for themselves
but for everyone else as well
Everything you've ever come to experience
to anyone else here has never been
and will never be
Life does not exist
memory is nothing more than photographs
a looking glass to see just where you've been
not what you've been there for
realize your insignificance to the universe
and to infinity
You will have then cast away
the pride of all these things you held so dear
agony and pleasure are a suffering to one another here
the wisest is the fool who realizes he knows
nothing, nothing
Turn your back on this misconception
that the body is the temple
it's just the tool of the soul
the brain is only the house of the mind
and soon you'll have to give back
everything you've borrowed for this lifetime
only then you'll find
you have spent all this time
struggling for the wrong things
and all of your works here have been nothing
Everything is nothing
5. And The Devil Cried
Be seated now, lay your small ante down
as the dark dealer smiles to the play
dear player of my little game
I don't believe I caught your name
that's alright now lay your hand down
Queens slay your nines
the fortune you've lost now is mine
Quick to the deal, let us step to the wheel
take a spin and lay down your claim
your number loses, not to blame
you see my friend,they're all the same
you can not win now, play again now
Taste of earthly pleasures
see the harlots smiling
feel the evil passion
clawing, as is crying, crying on
...and the devil cried
Well could you pay the price
if we rolled of the dice
just a piece of your soul down again
the rules are simple as they seem
just roll a one or roll thirteen
and all is back now, free and clear now
Your soul and your mind
the fortune you've lost now is mine
