The Stand

Are you ready for the unveiling?

We have met the enemy and he is us

Breeding divisions within the body

Distorting scriptures, creating instability

And all oppressive form s of dissonance

There is disorder, its quarantine is necessary

When pale attempts to gather men result in confusion

For unity cannot be based on doctrine

The blinding light is paradoxical

Symbolic of two spiritual lineages

The ministry of life and resurrection

The ministry of death and condemnation

The poltergeist moves ancient and established

Reviving scenes of medieval inquisition

Every desecration emphasized in psychic renaissance

Reserving atmosphere for terminating thoughts

The priest is talking backwards painting sacrilegious pictures

In his doctrinal errors, emphasizing isolated scriptures

His intolerable anointing is inhuman interrogation

And its paranormal necromancy feeds upon its nation

We will prostitute this offering with discipline and honor

We're evolving man to higher states

For the age of rationalism is over

To the uninitiated

We will stalk the enemy and cross the line

Can you feel the signs? Cross the line

Are we still alive? Cross the line

To walk the sacred halls of truth

>From whom the blood of angels cry

To fill your servants cup with light

For in his heart the spirits rise, rise

To search and trace the scars of love and infinite betrayal

For those who face resistance are protected by the grail

Break the silence, take the fear

Rape the sorrow, wipe the tears, rise, rise

Drink the blood of the lamb

Await the stand

Drink the blood of the lamb

Await the stand

The spirit haunts the armies breathing life in this militia,

To bring complete reversal of authority and power

Into the eyes of god on highest, witnessing two worlds collide,

The blood is rising in the temple, naked and alive.

The stage is set through all dimensions,

Denominations and rituals;

>From evolution to revolution and indestructible force,

Immune to righteousness based on law and civil disobedience,

The people find the pale defendant guilty on all charges.

The battlefield is cold and worn, receiving gifts of tyranny;

The revolution has arrived to turn his face around

And see it's covered with the blood of martyrs' innocent sedation,

With a kiss the child is lying slain upon the ground...

The lamb will stay awake with me to watch the revolution

And light the ground we stand upon.

The powers of the night, drawn between the darkness

In the fields of blind indifference we count

The corpses silently before the blood has dried.

His peace is broken into a thousand scars revealed,

He puts on his bloody robe for the last time.

His eyes, like mirrors, filled with murder;

I saw him falling in the streams,

Immersed in tears, crying for the others,

Fighting to receive possession of his will.

Standing in the fife, he said to me:

"if you don't reject this power it may destroy you."

For we have seen the great interval, and we have lived to see

The monster sleeping, but some will say

The monster was me.

I will hold his ashes in my hands,

Dreaming out loud, moving in metaphors, dancing away.
