The Sanctuaries

From the dark - from the recesses burns anew

A gaze of greed with sights so beset on another

Like a jewel it did shimmer atop gold hills made of coal

Now Dread - the god of the unsaid - eclipses it's spires

Three came forth through the rites of belial and deceit

To bring swift end to their rights and their life

The death of god through the exalting of life over life

A mere whim of the lord of the sun

For eons we'll weild force and destroy a vaste number

And to the highest throne our hypocrisy

It alone will serve to cleanse their world

And I as gazed from above I could see through them - worshipping me

I had sought great patterns at length that only fool would have doubted me

As silence engulfed from farther beyond their sights could follow

A seal would be placed upon their heads

Long ago in the galleries this demon once said

''Swear allegeance, then thous't is saved!''

Now the dawn of Acarius - It teems as it floods

To relinquish the call of head

''The Beast rise up from the sea!''

All those who once dwelt in me begged

[Solo - Mike Low]

The origins of their world

All but forgotten is the valiant word of all her sins and forceful gains

As you stare at the sky and wonder what could have been

Remember your sanctuary

As a child you were innocent

But it matters not for our tide is now full swept in

The pax americana sees it's bitter fleeting end

[Solo - Malcom Pugh]

Now the temple in the east - now settled in blood - will rise up and destroy all nations

To win this war they'll battle with alchemy

Unleashing our horrors

Come forth and witness the mind controlled masses

Our slaves - bleeding blue cold

Returning in kind

Defending their life and their home

In that place they will gather

Armaktos - Hell will be born

[Solo - Matt Brown]

As I scar through the sky above all which I mythed and lied

Countless times I wisehd for paradise to coincide

Far too late as the world did join in

Those fools - They payes the price of life but once again

Through the mysts I had suffered

As i cumbed great

[Solo - Matt Brown, Mike Low]

Screaming forth through the night

I now beckon thee - king of demons

We delivered your bidding and thoughts divine

Like serpents we had crept

Aligning fates with haste conceiving hate and lies

Immortal beings

We are the ones who destroyed God's plan

Lost but once again this creature did toil

Now free to roam accross the land

All the while it did snow at Satan did but follow
