Cyperus - Time to Make Time

Thunder, hoof beats, rage they warn
Take your posts armed, your prayers in scorn
Whirling dust cloud expels gleaming steel
To thrash the have nots, and heathens kill

Armored raiders flank to flank
Fly the paces to attack
Clash of fury echoes clearly
He who triumphs writes the pact

Time to make time for remembrance
Time to make time or the new
The curtain is cast, with one strike of clarity
The whole man's so past by the truth

Blasphemies curse all but wanes
Lest the warlord spits the flame
Hellion's master wrote this chapter
Not to wallow in man's disdain

Absolute ruler of iron hand
In his honor, at God's cruel demand
Prisoners take none, smite and thrust
Through armor strong, to plant the death

Dates to foresee in the effigy
Lives to provide for the few
Dreams, and they dream, for the will of me
I can find nothing of a clue
The Bibles they watch
Cry a laugh of insanity
Their visions of life plea a fear of reality
As history goes, nothing is new

Scaly demons lunge and hiss
Scarlet venom wants to kiss
Down it hails, thunder wails
Dance with danger, fight abyss

Be known to those of no retreat
May rise to heaven through smoldered meat
Yet stronger sword may tend the might
Bless nor count that savior, you have far from time

All is silent, victories doom
Laughs at foolish, deems it tomb
Lord of sorrow, dark tomorrow
Heed your life's writ, the hands loom
