The Sanctuaries

From the dark - from the recesses burns anew*
 A gaze of greed with sights so beset on another
 Like a jewel it did shimmer atop gold hills made of coal
 Now Dread - the god of the unsaid - eclipses it's spires
 Three came forth through the rites of belial and deceit
 To bring swift end to their rights and their life
 The death of god through the exalting of life over life
 A mere whim of the lord of the sun
 For eons we'll weild force and destroy a vaste number
 And to the highest throne our hypocrisy
 It alone will serve to cleanse their world
 And I as gazed from above I could see through them - worshipping me
 I had sought great patterns at length that only fool would have doubted me
 As silence engulfed from farther beyond their sights could follow
 A seal would be placed upon their heads
 Long ago in the galleries this demon once said
 "Swear allegeance, then thous't is saved!"
 Now the dawn of Acarius - It teems as it floods
 To relinquish the call of head
 "The Beast rise up from the sea!"
 All those who once dwelt in me begged
 [Solo - Mike Low]
 The origins of their world
 All but forgotten is the valiant word of all her sins and forceful gains
 As you stare at the sky and wonder what could have been
 Remember your sanctuary
 As a child you were innocent
 But it matters not for our tide is now full swept in
 The pax americana sees it's bitter fleeting end
 [Solo - Malcom Pugh]
 Now the temple in the east - now settled in blood - will rise up and destroy all nations
 To win this war they'll battle with alchemy
 Unleashing our horrors
 Come forth and witness the mind controlled masses
 Our slaves - bleeding blue cold
 Returning in kind
 Defending their life and their home
 In that place they will gather
 Armaktos - Hell will be born
 [Solo - Matt Brown]
 As I scar through the sky above all which I mythed and lied
 Countless times I wisehd for paradise to coincide
 Far too late as the world did join in
 Those fools - They payes the price of life but once again
 Through the mysts I had suffered
 As i cumbed great
 [Solo - Matt Brown, Mike Low]
 Screaming forth through the night
 I now beckon thee - king of demons
 We delivered your bidding and thoughts divine
 Like serpents we had crept
 Aligning fates with haste conceiving hate and lies
 Immortal beings
 We are the ones who destroyed God's plan
 Lost but once again this creature did toil
 Now free to roam accross the land
 All the while it did snow at Satan did but follow
