The Ascension Lyrics

Album: Impious

One thing they never told me

How to reach unending faith

How to come closer to my savior!

My day and night my life and death

I try my best following his guidance

But my perception doesn’t fit

Your words were written down by humans

And we all know they tend to fail

My ultimate goal is the ascension!

I want to be part of the spirit

Oh god, release me from this hollow!

Let me be part of your kingdom!

“Draw near to god, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners: and purify your hearts, you double minded“

Thy name echos in my mind

My feet stumble unholy ground

I shall eat the weed on plain fields

Self-punishment will lead me through

Your words were written by your servants

They’re not as holy as you can be

Wrong tongues and fingers misinterpreted

Suicide can not be a sin

“Do not be a fool. Why die before your time?“

Who are you to claim god's words?!

So it is time to join my lord

Prepared all night for this task

I’ll burn myself till nothing's left

The fastest way to ascend

A big cross does mark the place

Where I’ll carry out my sacrifice

To the cross I will now tie

Standing right on the pyre!

A match will enlighten my last steps

Right to the feet of you, my lord

I toss it down, I smell the smoke

The fire starts to light up

I feel the heat on my bare feet

The pyre is starting to burn now

The heat gets more and more intense

Sweat is running down my face

The flames begin to devour me

I lift my eyes right to the sky

Here I come for you, my lord

Come and see my sacrifice!

The pain is getting unbearable!

I scream, I cry, I laugh, I smile!

A few more minutes for me to wait!

Till I can rise up to the sky!

Here I come for you, my lord

Here I come for you, my lord!

Here I come for you, my lord

Here I come for you, my lord!
