Before it lies The story of invoking joy Endless love Given to me through a dream A following from above I couldn't help myself God walks by my side Within my limbs burns hate Believe me how I cry The tremble of my hands Blinded by my tears But I stand heroic The holy words I heed With glory and blazing eyes I rise into bloody skies Myself a storm, ravaging The wrath of God, down I bring With mercenary's smile I rise up from the shade As the king of all souls The pounding of my wings Tearing through the night Death's taking his toll The searing heat Burning eyes Fury and fire A forest gone Torn victims The lies I sire My work is done and I leave none The passion in my dying worth The grief I leave is meaningless The lies within these ancient words
