On a dreary summer dawn

Where the red light trickles on

Through the serfdom in the streets

Pollution of the mind, it reaps

Deception ruled these lands

To preserve the status quo

Equal rights? Mere privileges

Blissful sedative must flow

Insecure society

church & state ‘democracy’

Men and women, the walking dead

Anathema of freedom fed

[Lead: Jams]

thy voyage set sail at dawn

now the rays ov light are thin

abandon the narrenschyff

oh faithful fool

as age of nero fades

glance I at such beauty

of a new era

from upon the seven hills ov rome

[Lead: Mat]

envisioning light against spectrum ov foresight

dwindles small minds while the cross thrives

awaken from ye slumber

by sheer hand raise I thunder

nude, all thy faithful dance

prelude to sodom’s fornication commence

(Stares eat away with every handshake, decay

Binding with mesmerizing nothingness that lay

With the night, light doth grow weary

Among the faceless, the truth is dreary)

(Chorus)

Submissive icons lead the way

Portraying darkness whilst day

Declaring right to govern say

Submit I to blasphemy, down with agnus dei

(conjure I the demons ov thy simple mind

excavate thy narrow sight with piercing nails tonight

apostles ov the nazarene

send his wails to me

so I may defile the sanctity ov god

and be free

all ye specs ov dust shall wither away

at the sight ov the light)

[Solo: Mat]

a looming landscape conspires with the sun

to erect a newfound temple and adore the man

one shall bear a ripened soul in womb

through the light ov akephalos

may the dawn be won

(Chorus)

Submissive icons lead the way

Portraying darkness whilst day

Declaring right to govern say

Submit I to blasphemy, down with agnus dei

a looming landscape conspires with the sun

to erect a newfound temple and adore the man

one shall bear a ripened soul in womb

through the light ov Lacifarus

may the dawn be won
