MANSION LYRICS

1. Mother's Burden

If we seek forgiveness
Her burden will increase
When will she forgive us
When will she release

Our holy mother
Has us to blame
For we are unworthy
And serve her with shame

The only mother
We will ever serve
Oh, how she suffers
When we won't learn

Tame that sinful flame
In this burning chamber

Try to be a mother
Become the whore
Children and the devil
Are welcome no more

Our holy mother
Has us to blame
For we are not ready
To burn in the flame

Tame that sinful flame
In this burning chamber

If we seek forgiveness
Her burden will increase
When will she forgive us
When will she release

Tame that sinful flame
In this burning chamber

2. We Shall Live

Behold the vessel of a concubine
Here stiffened body all laid out to see here for your eyes
Not a single man can enter this decaying shrine
For it is a time of death and the end of time
And we are the ones who'll see the light

Keep the wretched priests in the dark
They can never see the fire burning in our heart
Every child of God will bear our scars
A sinner can't be cast out of this fold
She will be below us weeping until hell turns cold
Guess who will be swallowing her soul

And I will carry on waiting for the day
And I will carry on waiting for the day
We shall live

Yet another day overdue
Patiently our children will be there to see us through
We have cast aside all earthly joy to bring forth doom
Not a better day to give your life for what is true
1943 for me and you

And I will carry on waiting for the day
And I will carry on waiting for the day
We shall live

And you will die
Lost in time
Every weakling will expire
Their sins will be the wall we'll climb
Out of darkness into the light
So beat this body like she was alive

3. Sorrowless

The sorrowless will always go astray
Even if he thinks highly of his ways
Blind to the foulness of his life
Celebrating sin on his wedding night

Can you hear the call
Do you see the horns
To hell and to the devil
You will go

The sorrowless will always keep its child
Enchanted by its devious smiles
Prayers will never reach the lord
Unless you tear apart your sinful bond

Can you hear the call
Do you see the horns
To hell and to the devil
You will go

The sorrowless will always waste his time
Losing every chance to reconcile
Tears must flow and a frown be worn
God only loves the one who mourns

We won't pity the fool
Living like the devil's tool
We despise the frail
We will see them fail

4. Slumber Sermon

Sweet dreams on angel wings
Bliss of peace in his sleep
Reeling deep in seeping rivers
Sweet speech is delivered

Words pierce the dream, words most sacred
To break the seal for those most able
To hear the truth travel through slumber
Lose a tooth, your days are numbered

It reeks of sin all around us
The man who sleeps shall bring us justice
On his lips the word lays dormant
To find the whore and the informant

Give us the names, give us the guilty
So we may cure those that are filthy
Among us creeps vile flirtation
Salvation through humiliation

It is said in revelations
That everywhere is our vocation
Appreciate drowsy blessings
The lord is hate and love depressing

Speak in tongues, speak of judgement
With open hearts we bear our torment
Sweet dreams, dreams of rapture
Slip of his tongue and is captured
