STEEL PROPHET LYRICS

1. The Revenant

Rising back from the depths insane are the cries
from his past running away from the truth the anguish
he flees closes fast searching the evil unleashed
from rage that his torment amassed relentless his quest
for revenge from his grave deaths sentence is passed the ghosts
of a time weep for vengeance long dead still the dreams
haven't ceased how law could preside such injustice now
the ravenant's wrath is released stolen before it was time
all the dreams that he worked to create ravaged so mercilessly
he seeks atonement for ill gotten fate striking a bargain
with hell so the crime done to him is repaid striken the
slayers eternal roaming life in the guise of a shade the
price his soul lost forever so the curse of undead can be placed
with the revenant's wrath placed upon them he can rest for he's
suffrage's erased

2. Death Of Innocence

What was the world for me as a child
Full of innocence not yet wild
I thought people
All were good
The world was ordered it was understood
They put ideas in my head

Fairy tales were what they said
Soon I learned you all had hearts of black you beat
And robbed and raped me laughed behind my back
I thought the world mad I hated life
Itself I cursed the god they made and then shoved down my throat
I rebelled to them
All I'd make them pay before they fall

Death of innocence my values died
No reference cut off from my soul
The loss of heart leaves a blackened hole

Now I think I'm on a path searching for enlightenment
I sometimes feel I grasp the thread of eternity within my head
Feeds me power from the earth feel the logic my spirit rebirth

3. Trapped In The Trip

Steal away from life with me to a place that's hidden
to all but me I find the way to a place in my brain
genetic shapes on the DNA chain I fly down the hall
like a runaway train reality warps as I near insane
hypnotic trance in the path it lay pick it up it shoots
sparkling rays the trip returns again returns again again
the trip never ends no evolution reversed I go back through
lives awed by lives I am there as earth begins before mans
time and the dawn of sin the cosmic primordial soup I exist
within it all is no past is no future existence shall be my only tutor
my dream starts again the life tree reigns knowledge is second life grows
strong the dream lifts the sleep from my eyes the dream
of ascension was real images fade when I sleep
why are we so was the waking not real

4. Your Failure Inscribed In Stone

Science seeks to ascend to god's throne by playing their trade
Creating life on their own
As consciousness' state's forever at hand
They're doomed to wander a no mans land

They seek to become master alone
The key they reveal will only be soul
Smash all your atoms and still you will find
You can't instill life of a real kind

Your failure inscribed in stone
And when you wander through your experiments
You'll see a piece alludes your memory

This puzzle of life creates the stern brow
So active and coaxing the here and the now

Through the dream I saw my own fate on my stone
I could read the date I saw the beginning of life
And learned the secret made in my life

5. Passage Of Time (Amber Leaves...)

Misty spirit of ether come into me
Join me as one
Weave us together with many branches

The seed must grow dormant
In a cold earth we wait for spring
One tear shed for love will grow the heart again

And loneliness will pass
As the shadows of angels that linger nearby
Imparting strength the drought leaves us
Stricken on the cracked dry earth

It's a passage of time
We cry for the dead
And pray for joys return
We bow to the grace of who gives life and light

As I gaze into those soft loving eyes
I return to love and warm tenderness
You engulfed me with sweet kisses
Of misty lips drawn unto me
You could not leave
Your heart had bound me and I
Possessed your soul in eternity

We are locked in the embrace
The feelings frozen in time
As light is captured in a photograph
Of us as young lovers

6. Of The Dream

I waked in a mist the landscape changing in vision is it
I who watches this or is it some other mind is this a dream
I cannot tell or some lost station of hell the dampness clings to my hair
a ring I see round the moon am I waiting to die
in the dream my mind swims through the vapors
I can't tell what is real swim through the underground
rivers my escape has been sealed all by myself
in the hometown but no one here can recall look the shadows
are closer how much more can I run tell my mind to wake up
the thought does me no good look to the ground for a weapon
to face the danger I flee a rock is all that I see I reach down
and grab the stone the beast is now upon me I fight the thing
with my strength but I can't bring it down lord please let me
fight hurtling thru the skies this can't be real I see his face god
is revealed this is no dream
I see it's real past and future lie unconcealed

7. The Ides Of March / Purgatory

[Iron Maiden Cover]

Thinking of an age old dream, places I have never seen,
Fantasies lived times before.
I split my brain, melt through the floor.

Over clouds my mind will fly, forever now I can't think why.
My body tries to leave my soul.
Or is it me, I just don't know.
Mem'ries rising from the past, the future's shaddow overcast.
Something's clutching at my head, through the darkness I'll be led.

Oh another time, another place.
Oh another smile on another face.
When you see me floating up beside you,
You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you.

Please take me away, take me away, so far away.
Please take me away, take me away, so far away.
Please take me away, take me away, so far away.

Thinking of an age old dream, places I have never seen,
Fantasies lived times before.
I split my brain, melt through the floor.

Over clouds my mind will fly, forever now I can't think why.
My body tries to leave my soul.
Or is it me, I just don't know.
Mem'ries rising from the past, the future's shaddow overcast.
Something's clutching at my head, through the darkness I'll be led.

Oh another time, another place.
Oh another smile on another face.
When you see me walking up beside you,
You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you.

Please take me away, take me away, so far away.
Please take me away, take me away, so far away.
Please take me away, take me away, so far away.

8. What's Behind The Veils?

Twilight I greet you the beauty of the earth
I've watched in dominion witnessed life's birth
When sad your life ends
The tears you will see of all who lived here for an eternity

What lies behind the veils
What lies behind the veils
Don't you wish you knew
Is it hell awaits you or heaven that you drew

A judgment's now in order
Your fate beyond command
Your bill has now come
Due payment on demand

I read some books about it
Prepared as best I knew
But when I have to face it I don't know what I'll do

You must fear it also
What path have you chose

What's behind the veils when deaths cold wind blows
I spent my life deceiving those I thought I loved
I only cared for myself
I sent my loves away

I lusted for the women that were only whores
I enjoyed their pleasures while cursing me to hell

9. Idols

I have no direction
I'm lost afloat in a swirling sea of doubt
I have no religion no beliefs no ideals
No morals no ethics nobody save me

Something there must be someone with answers
I see only images of sexual bondage
And desire it and other things and pleasures

Save me from what I can't see
There's cold thoughts washing over me
I've no point can't call this living life
I just watch fictionals acting life

The screens on but nothing inside
Soul is empty so I know they've lied
Ancient gods of old were not gods at all but empty idols
Modern gods of new are not gods at all but empty idols

10. Hate?

The color of skin doesn't begin to shape my point of view
I don't believe it makes you take leave of what's in your mind
if I were blind I think I would find it just doesn't matter
the world is ripped apart by the fools some of us have
no heart hate colored tools the sex of a mate sparks a debate
which one is better I would submit for you to admit we
both need each other we both have a mind and you soon
will find you can do anything too difference is good
if only you could appreciate what's not like you why
the hate it's not so great we've lost a lot of friends
I'll begin to understand I'm different in your eyes
too I'll learn to trust you're a threat not who you are
but what you do in the end we'll depend on who I am and what I do
