Altar of Oblivion - Solemn Messiah

Darkness surrounding Light, wandering Parasite
Conquest of Fire leaving Craters inside
Time is for Compromise, bowing to Sacrifice
Turning down Reason bringing forth Tragedy

Taking the Stand against the sheer Retardation
The Dwelling of Horrors in a primeval Hell
Under a tight Veil of Silence and Secrecy
Bigots of Relapse are protected from Harm

Echoes of dying Nations haunting my Mind
Living on borrowed Time; facing the End

I am fading away from Posterity
Perilous Powers are stealing Prosperity

I am failing my People in Times of Need
Keepers of Doctrines are running the Devil's Deed
Centers of Power of marvelous Merit
Sealing us off from this suffering Underworld

Everyone plays a Role but nobody knows the Script
Duty will chain me to this vanishing World
Stairs of Division burn my dying Belief
Subjected to Lights in this Night full of Shame

Echoes of dying Nations haunting my Mind
Blurring the Line between Illusion and Truth
Clarification looming large in the Skies
Living on borrowed Time; facing the End

I am fading away from Posterity
Perilous Powers are stealing Prosperity
I am failing my People in Times of Need
Keepers of Doctrines are running the Devil's Deed

Solemn Messiah; Creator of Mystery,
Bearer of Bigotry
Solemn Messiah; Symbol of Suffering,
Farsighted Architect
Solemn Messiah; strident Deceiver,
A Prophet of Decadence
Solemn Messiah; divinely endorsed,
Every Voice is calling for You

Everyone is waiting for You
Solemn Messiah
Everyone is waiting for You
Everyone is waiting for You
Everyone is waiting
