Horology Lyrics

[Inner Cell] Meet with me, in the dark Of the street, there we'll start Believing, secretly Utopia, freedom in The inner cell Look for me, with a beak A cloak adorned, scent of leaves A void between, foul stench Of those above, whispering Inner cell Dance of the dead Will descend on his head And extend to the Families' hubris From under the skin, insurrection From hollow logs, from shallow streams And drying seas Let us walk through the night To a place clandestine Free your mind, disregard All you know, infiltrate The inner cell You must not accept His sick version of Life itself, disrespect Everything, multiply Inner cell Dance of the dead Will descend on his head And extend to the Families' hubris [Instrumental] From under the skin, the flesh has rotten Poison has spread, through words unsaid Anemic rule, now hear me say Our time has come, transcending us Above the one, to ego death For now he sits inside the fire Oblivious that we will keep Him in the spire, have found resolve And our own crimes to commit In cold blood as he did his [Loyalty] I see all there is And has ever been I am not a man I am everything Picture of purity Deific reign Ordained unto me Prehistoric god Theophany I shall not move Those who try I will drink their blood I'll be watching them I am everywhere Floating on the wind Hiding in the dark Pure omniscience Traitors will quake At the thought of me Hang them on a hook Put them on display Examples must be made Here's a test I am Lord, fear my wrath This is a test I am Lord, I am death What is with these crimes of treason? I will fight this inquisition if I have to I will not surrender if I'm backed into a corner I will draw and quarter all their children Just to prove I'm not a coward I will put them all on Judas Cradle Just to show them a god incarnate Where's the loyalty Where's their loyalty? Where's the loyalty Where's their loyalty? No man - no problem [Horology] Once upon a time There was a great hermit dominion Veiled from inside and out Ruled by a lone eremite Bringer of an inferno Controller to Satan himself To Tchort, Abaddon, and Set A demented figurehead Heinous looking thing, he was Cold and terrible A long and aquiline nose Between swelling temples His green eyes are windows To the Ninth Circle of Hell A tiny neck supporting a head Filled with an unending desolation Seditious bands storm the bastion Alive with revenge Grand intentions Unbeknownst protomartyrs Indoctrinated With impalement Just like that the plot was crushed Brushed away without a thought Some were found alive, though Left to run without their skin Cauterized and blistering Forever marked for all to see Reminding those who think dissent Is a bridge across the sea One did make a pilgrimage In search of a family Evaporated in the dark Stolen by the despot A journey made all the worse Having had his eyes gouged Left without the gift of sight To face his true destroyer Across the land he walked with death Parading his Ossuary Upon reaching the castle walls A twist of fate His mind opens Sit down weary traveler I am that what you seek Join me in a meal To hear of my repentance Lift the veil from your eyes And look beyond the three Now you know the truth behind: It's tetrachromacy
