Elephant - Wanderer Of The Skies lyrics

rate me

With force I blaze the universe, my whispered lies birth fear<br />

I lead the rebellion against the Most Ancient, corrupting the promise of Heaven<br />

I am the thief that kills and destroys with the flash of time I have<br />

Commanding the spirits of the ether, seeking prey to devour<br />

<br />

I am the dragon spoken of in the tales of old<br />

Death on black wings and eyes of blood, revered by the cruelest of spectres and demons<br />

I shall infect humanity with a pestilence of hate<br />

Aurora in torment, I ravish the first light of dawn<br />

<br />

With the hammer of evil, I crush the countenance of purity<br />

With a rusty, wicked blade I mutilate your flesh<br />

Your corpse is now mine to do with as I please<br />

Bound in your own web you claw at yourself<br />

Riding katabatic winds into the netherworld<br />

Where the lunar serpents oppress the shattered rainbow<br />

Across the mandrake fields before the labyrinths of Algol<br />

I am the cosmos - I am Everlasting<br />

<br />

O how the lustrous one has fallen<br />

A beautiful, tragic fable<br />

A sanctuary denied, a punishment for pride<br />

Banished for betrayal, father of the false<br />

In the slumber of the sages<br />

Truth appears as the effulgent sun<br />

The legion is vanquished, imprisoned in filth<br />

To dwell among the flies, cast into a bottomless pit<br />

<br />

I am reality, all that exists in this creation, cold and brutal, merciless<br />

You are a fantasy - hope for the poor, the weak, the suffering - moral, sanctimonious<br />

I am the predator plundering the flock, ripping them breathless, the rule, the alpha dominant<br />

Lambs in peril, lost and feeble, slaughtered by the wolves of scorn<br />

<br />

I am every sin and blasphemy, the source of iniquity, the perversion of mankind<br />

I am the thorn in genesis, the salt in the wound, the venom in the ambrosia<br />

I took a third of the trusted Host, I crucified the only Son at Golgotha<br />

Tongues of Living Fire dancing upon a jade-blue ocean, angry flames will fall<br />

<br />

Searching for the glory that was blessed unto me, never to rest or sleep again<br />

An angel once, now condemned to forever wander the skies
