about

"Benediction of Faith" off of the album Second Coming

lyrics

Flowers now decay... the end draws ever near
Sorrow eases happiness... but I will shed no tear
Fear will rape compassion... doubt will swallow truth
I lift my eyes to heaven... and laugh at holy fools

Take me to the place I've seen... so many years ago
On bending knees I pray to thee... at the base of hatred's throne
I scream my needs and bed for want... unto a burning sky
Satan grant me just one wish... and let that be to die

Eclipse the light of day... gather strength from the night
Take your fear emotions reversed... and end this thing called light

Now I will pose a question... answer me if you can
Who will you choose to guide you... into the holy land
Choose wise, foolish mortal... your life it will depend
There's no one here to help you... your life is at its end

Sit with me and gaze upon... the final setting sun
The human race as we al know it... is finally done
Reality of things to care are seen... right through my eyes
Helpless bastard, Christian one... it's time for you to die

Gaze upon the blackened night... and see the dark moon rise
The days begun it's time for us... to bring the legions up
You've made your choice... you raised the test
You've determined now your fate... you've seen the way
You know the lie... of the benediction of faith
