lyrics

"We will make a revolution"
so decrees the holy man
"not merely against the tyrant
but against history, itself"

the blood-wine that intoxicates us
the greatest of the Devil's lies
enemies lurking within every shadow
against which we must now arise

History deviates us from the Path
Knowledge is delusion
We must seek our truth
In the holy books alone

We will unwind the threads of time
we will unmake the veil of history
We will hear the echoes of the past decay
We will watch the skies,
watch the skies
Burn!

Forget the pain that we have wrought
upon one another in the name of petty tribalism
Unlearn the lessons we've been taught
through the aeons of suffering and tribulation
Forget the plight of our ancestors
for it is ordained our children know it, too
Renounce not only the past that keeps us chained
but the future that threatens to consume us

Abort!
Abjure!
Deny!
The fates of those who've come before.

Oppose!
Resist!
Subvert!
The prophet doth command.

Command...

Go forth and burn the tomes
the books of knowledge foul
that disrespect the inexorable truth
and occludes the path to our salvation
So mote it be

Cut out the poison tongues of heretics
silence the knowledge that defiles and withers
all affronts to holiness and purity
must be banished from our sight

And when this profane world crumbles
we, the faithful shall see
Paradise standing before us
in all its eternal glory

...eternal glory

Extract and neutralize the venom of complexity
White out all lingering shades of grey
Progress is the serpent, heed not its treachery
Suffer no insult to the Manichean way

"We stand on the cusp of revolution"
so declares the prophet mad
"not merely against the tyrant
but against history, itself"

the blood-wine that intoxicates us
the greatest of the Devil's lies
enemies lurking within every shadow
against which we must now arise

We have unwound the threads of time
we have unmade the veil of history
We have heard the echoes of the past decay
Now we watch the skies,
watch the skies
Burn!
