I. The Observance

An Angel's kiss now fallen,

descending scarlet cuts the sky.

Faded names left on the wall,

honor the fighting, leave life to die.

Remembered is the sacrifice

but no praisal of blood still flowing.

Who were the leaders, what controlled

the killing hand that caused this mourning?

Crossing over...

II. Ancient Renewal

Lowered deep into the sea,

being awaits to cleanse his soul.

Senses weakening, time is still

motionless by stiffening cold.

The wheels race back and scorch his mind,

travelling all to find the land.

Revelation warms a touch and now

he will begin to understand.

III. The Stray Seed

Extended a view to yesterday,

manifestation for none the same.

Walking amidst a frightening still.

No sound, no smoke, no scorching flames.

He is risen!

Sipping his poison,

the raven sings.

Yet another to add,

more bodies fallen.

King from below,

this one controls

the killing hand

that caused this mourning!

Is it all over?

Is it all over?

IV. Thorns

Evil genius this secret plan,

mercy dealt with the losing hand.

Will he ever fall, can he end it all?

Our savior must make his stand!

Only a prophet of years to come,

wanting mortality I'm all alone.

He heard my voice, it was my choice,

I've stopped the killing hand.

V. Exodus

When I go back again

will it be the same?

I've stopped the cries,

but now they know my name.

The sea is calling me,

my spirit must return.

As I get closer, was it really

worth what I have learned?

I'm in the valley,

and the saddened chimes I hear.

Race towards the wall to find

one more name appears.

No one is left now,

my one and only land.

I laugh at what I've done,

I am the killing hand.
