The Way of a Pilgrim Lyrics


You shall take the task of capturing sly Theodosius

Wait for me to kill him

I shall wait for my wife to return, and then I’ll see to it

That she is arrested



Squirming, writhing pleasure consumes the two lovers

Their shadows dance upon on the marble walls



The revelation of the human heart unfurled

A gaping maw that howls and whirls

You’re fighting the wind to keep yourself from falling back

It never stops until you’re dead



Step by step I descend from the heights that once upheld me

Living life so virtuous

Step by step she backs away from me

This is the last time you will so betray me

Kicking, screaming terror consumes my lovely wife

Her shadow thrashes against the prison walls



The revelation of the human heart unfurled

A gaping maw that howls and whirls

Your fingers are holding on to every crack and jag

It never stops until you're dead



Photius swiftly captured him, my doglike godson

And for a brief time I was clear, justice had been served

But then the empress heard the news and called us to their court

Could this be providence of God? – Resist Him!



Trembling, furious maelstrom within the general’s heart

This would be his last chance to assert control



The revelation of the human heart unfurled

A gaping maw that howls and whirls

I’ll capture and murder the bastard – no remorse!

It never stops until you're dead
