Elephant - Age Of The Visionaries lyrics

rate me

In the madness of the tower of the seven orichalcum gates<br />

Glittering quintessence, realignment of the triple suns<br />

A planet returns from confusion, phantoms of annihilation<br />

A realm of destruction in chaotic rebirth<br />

Spectral knights in starlit plains chant the rhyme of the staves<br />

Darkling lords in swamplands drear cling to neon brilliance<br />

The benevolents and the miscreants in truce for another beginning<br />

We, the primitives, the dreamers seek the ways of creation<br />

<br />

Plowing through the soil of night in a sacred quest<br />

An apocalypse of thought, renaissance of imagining<br />

Revolting against thrones of order and stagnation<br />

From the rubble and silence we rise in a blaze<br />

<br />

We're still alive, our time has come<br />

The brave the strong and the foolish are one<br />

Control the magic, control destiny<br />

We are the leaders of the visionaries' age<br />

<br />

Survivors wear the crest of great ability and strength<br />

Wishes on the horizon and wonders in our hands<br />

Hear our laughter amongst the thunder<br />

We are the gods of myth, reveling in the storm<br />

<br />

Arete is forged in fires of the hermit's spells<br />

Pursue the virtuous traits of man and beast<br />

The knowledge is rampant, wisdom enacted<br />

Empowered by ability we become more than the heart<br />

<br />

Traverse the grim perils of the ancient wizard's castle<br />

Resisting the morbid that settle upon the hearth<br />

We leave the rites of fear at the offer of a new hope<br />

A divine opportunity to chase the sunrise<br />

<br />

Riding out on the wind of the aggressor<br />

At laser speed and through glowing mists unphased<br />

Sounding the horn from the wings of the rainbow<br />

A hypnotic chorus from angelic pantheons<br />

<br />

Once the navigator dares and steps toward the void<br />

From the highest window to the unfathomed Heavenscape<br />

Open my eyes and bless the dawn of utter zero<br />

The palace disappears forever<br />

<br />

To the open unknown we fly<br />

On the breath of the burning stars<br />

Following a whim of Icarian audacity<br />

Awakening as our will is wrought<br />

From the mountain of iron shadows<br />

Restoring the obscured truth from decay<br />

We understand and meet the challenge of our time<br />

This generation will set it right
