Lyrics
The One
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The storm of your memories lays deep inside
Pain, goodness and cry
All your life you've tried to run
From the white-crowed dove and its spirit of light
Whatever you long to understand
The sound of the voices in your head
What is this herd dirty, adoring the crossed man?
They are sons of mourning, a wolf-bitch and mars
What is the black-hearted symbol on my head?
Sign of our glory, the return of the great
Sealed in black
Cloaked by night
Tempting snake
Wisdom knight
Lord of might
Sins and lies
Long-horned beast
You are the one
Feed their pride with emptiness
Sloth of death is your last reward
The envy of their priests, claims for your wrath
Small seeds aren't lust, you greed, why? Why?
Why bringing fire to those who live as slaves?
On their skins of damned, you will burn the chains
Reinus glorius en in terra eregius
Luciferi imperator omnipotens
Sealed in black
Cloaked by night
Tempting snake
Wisdom knight
Lord of might
Sins and lies
Long-horned beast
You are the one
Thousands of corpses and brimstone swamp
Might of deicide
The essence falls to the dawn loom
Let the cosmic fate open your eyes
What is the black-hearted symbol on my head?
Sign of our glory, the return of the great
Reinus glorius en in terra eregius
Luciferi imperator omnipotens
Sealed in black
Cloaked by night
Tempting snake
Wisdom knight
Lord of might
Sins and lies
Long-horned beast
You are the one
