POWER CALLING
and the frail shall turn to dust as the...,
POWER rising
within the few who find the will,
It grows, I know
it shows

WHOAH- Within the heart there's a fury and IT GROWS
within the eyes a deathlike calm,
And eye to eye we recognize our own

WHOAH- With death of day within the few
this inversion shall bring anew,
That of nights that since have gone unknown

Beyod this coil, I am reaching
beyond your reach, I send myself

WHOAH- Beneath the Earth beyond the sky IT GROWS
extend our will silent and still,
As one by one we deify our own

WHOAH- Now heed the urge to slip inside
and let them scream of patricide,
Destiny we will invent alone

Beyod this coil, I am reaching
beyond your reach, I send myself,
Beyod this coil, I am reaching
beyond your reach, I send myself

POWER CALLING
and the frail shall turn to dust as the...,
POWER rising
within the few who find the will

Beyod this coil, I am reaching
beyond your reach, I send myself,
Beyod this coil, I am reaching
beyond your reach, I send myself,
Beyond this coil, beyond this coil, I am reaching
beyond your reach, I send myself

So fall the tears of futility
down the guise of theonomy,
Don't cast your prayers on me
disinfect them and save them for yourself

It's time, it's time
it's time, for the last day

WHOAH- This is the final night
WHOAH- before the black day,
WHOAH- and as you stray you move closer to our world

This is the final night
WHOAH- before the black day,
WHOAH- As the dim stretches further from us

Chide a morbid propensity
as I connect so naturally,
The warmest sound I watch them flee
into a Hell they've created for themselves

WHOAH- This is the final night
WHOAH- before the black day,
WHOAH- and as you stray you move closer to our world

This is the final night
WHOAH- before the black day,
WHOAH- As the dim stretches further from us

As you stray you move closer to us
As you stray you move closer to us

It's time, it's time
it's time, for the last day

WHOAH- This is the final night
WHOAH- before the black day,
WHOAH- and as you stray you move closer to our world

This is the final night
WHOAH- before the black day,
WHOAH- As the dim stretches further from us

WHOAH, WHOAH, WHOAH, OHHH

Have been, I have been
EVERBURNING IN IMPERFECT LIGHT,
Fleeing to EVERNIGHT

Loss of breath
but gaining perfect sight,
Fleeing to EVERNIGHT

I've been speaking in silence
I've been tasting the screams,
I've been beautiful violence
in a beautiful scene,
I've been offering Violets
in the middle of dreams,
Alleviating the final fear
I've been called to redeem

EVERBURNING IN IMPERFECT LIGHT,
Fleeing to EVERNIGHT

Loss of breath
but gaining perfect sight,
Walking through EVERNIGHT

I've been watching you turning
I've been hearing you call,
You've grown tired of burning
tired of feeling at all,
Been admiring the lashes
in your beautiful skin,
I've been hearing your begging
for cleansing, for cleansing

Ohhhh

I've been speaking in silence
I've been tasting the screams,
I've been beautiful violence
in a beautiful scene,
I've been called to redeem
I've been called to redeem,
I've been called to redeem
I've been called to redeem

EVERBURNING IN IMPERFECT LIGHT,
Fleeing to EVERNIGHT

Loss of breath
but gaining perfect sight,
Fleeing to EVERNIGHT

The evernight

Come with me sweet innocence
I wanna show you sights you've never seen,
Keep your eyes wide on this short ride
we'll really see what you can be

So we slip away, (cut, cut, cut)
no one can get to us up here,
So I slip away, (cut, cut, cut)
no one can get to you up here

From this low up to a height
where all we left behind shines oh so clear,
I'll let you see another side
exchange a dream and share some fear

So we slip away, (cut, cut, cut)
no one can get to us up here,
So I slip away, (cut, cut, cut)
no one can get to you up here

Let me open a whole new world, oh
this sensation,
This liberation I offer to you
to you, (cut, cut, cut)

Come with me sweet innocence
I wanna show you sights you've never seen,
Keep your eyes wide on this short ride
we'll really see what you can be

As the thorns grow with care
start to twist they make new colored eyes,
As the flesh starts to split like the wrists that is slit
as I break, and they spit, and I break, as they spit

WHOAH- This temptation
WHOAH- that invites me to life,
WHOAH- What's salvation?
WHOAH- is it in this,
WHOAH- Invitation
WHOAH- to praise the fallen

As a world grown with care starts to sing
it's swarmed by cacophony,
One and all punished now for just one wouldn't bow
without grace all are left in disgrace chasing death

WHOAH- This temptation
WHOAH- that invites me to life,
WHOAH- What's salvation?
WHOAH- is it in this,
WHOAH- Invitation
WHOAH- to praise the fallen

I don't believe, THE BELIEFS OF THE RIGHTEOUS
I don't believe, are so righteous at all,
I do believe, THAT THE MARK PLACED UPON US
is misconcieved,
Who shall fall?
who shall fall?

As the guilt raining down reaches flooded ground
the insects must concede,
To this wrong they belong, in this left they are strong
as the right start to bleed, on the right they shall feed

WHOAH- This temptation
WHOAH- that invites me to life,
WHOAH- What's salvation?
is it in this,
WHOAH- Invitation
WHOAH- to praise the fallen

I don't believe, THE BELIEFS OF THE RIGHTEOUS
I don't believe, are so righteous at all,
I do believe, THAT THE MARK PLACED UPON US
is misconcieved,
Who shall fall?
who shall fall?

WHOAH, WHOAH

In the circle of dying time
there's a thinning of salt,
What was kept from slipping in
will be soaring out

A color
that can't be described,
A power
that can't, can't be denied

This is the hunger and I'll feed
I WANT IT, I WANT IT,
What died long ago I glady sold cause I, I
I WANT IT, I WANT IT, I WANT IT ALL

Radiating with blinding light
a newborn spreads it's wings,
And beneath the starving crawl
to taste of better things

A color
that can't be described,
A power
that can't, can't be denied

This is the hunger and I'll feed
I WANT IT, I WANT IT,
What died long ago I glady sold cause I, I
I WANT IT, I WANT IT, I WANT IT ALL

Ohhhh, this is the hunger and I'll feed
I WANT IT, I WANT IT,
What died long ago I glady sold cause I, I
I WANT IT, I WANT IT, I WANT IT,
This is the hunger and I'll feed
I WANT IT, I WANT IT,
What died long ago I glady sold cause I, I
I WANT IT, I WANT IT, I WANT IT, I WANT IT ALL

What is this that steals the breath?
what is this that horrifies?,
I've got an urge to kill
I've got a will to die,
And I'm creation
I'm destruction, ohhh

Where do they come from?
where do they hide?,
We are the Sons of man
bastardized

What is this that's tucked away?
what has turned this twisted mind?,
I am your darkest secrets
I am your living lies,
I'm creation
I'm destruction, ohhh

Where do they come from?
where do they hide?,
We are the Sons of man
bastardized,
Ohh, where do they come from?
where do they hide?,
We are the Sons of man
bastardized

WHOAH, WHOAH
WHOAH- What is this terrror?
what does it feed upon?,
WHOAH- Why have you left us?
the Daughters and the Sons?

I'M LIFE'S, CREATION
I'M LIGHT'S DESTRUCTION,
I'M LIFE'S, CREATION
I'M LIGHT'S DESTRUCTION, I'm creation
I'M LIFE'S, CREATION
I'M LIGHT'S DESTRUCTION, I'm destruction
I'M LIFE'S, CREATION
I'M LIFE, LIFE DESTROYED

I've been waiting patiently for this day to arrive and
I have spoken not a single word,
Now hand to hand my voice shall be heard

No Michael
not this time,
I've been waiting for oh so long, oh so long

I've accepted silently this name I've been given and
I have heard it pass the lips of everyone,
Now if you will inquire, ask of your Father
and he may tell you of his brightest Son

No Michael
not this time,
I've been waiting for oh so long

No Michael,
not this time,
I've been growing oh so strong

Now in true glory
I'll rise again, ahh

I've been waiting patiently for this day and this time
I shall not be alone,
Not this time, not this time,
not this time, not this time

In an ivory room, against an ivory wall
is crouched a shadow and I clash,
In an ivory room, within the ivory walls
there is a crimson stain in the cracks

If this is cleanliness, if this is clean
if this true righteousness, is not obscene,
Then I am pure

Across a white floor, upon the porcelain glow
there lies an animal, and it cries,
Beneath the white floor, beneath the porcelain glow
therein a secret lies, and it's black

If this is cleanliness, if this is clean
if this true righteousness, is not obscene,
If this is cleanliness, if this is clean
if this true righteousness, is not obscene,
Then I am pure, then I am pure, then I am pure
then I am pure, then I am pure

IF THIS IS CLEANLINESS, IF THIS IS CLEAN
IF THIS TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS, IS NOT OBSCENE,
IF THIS IS CLEANLINESS, IF THIS IS CLEAN
IF THIS TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS, IS NOT OBSCENE, (then I am pure),
IF THIS IS CLEANLINESS, (then I am pure) IF THIS IS CLEAN (then I am pure)
IF THIS IS CLEANLINESS, (then I am pure) IF THIS IS CLEAN (then I am pure)

Then I am pure, then I am pure, then I am pure, then I am pure
then I am pure, then I am pure, then I am pure, then I am pure

Somewhere in the darkest corner
of your darkest dream,
There is a place
where all that is lost can be found

And there in that darkest corner
crouched in the cold,
You will find me...
and you will find yourself

[Incomprehendable backwards chanting babble]
