:INTRO:
Before humanity's first breath
Great bloodshed tore heaven apart
death greeted those thought to be untouchable
and two depart to end an epoch before it had begun
:VERSE 1 A:
a great fissure in the promised land
spawns forth demons too dark for dreams
and their crowning jewel, Iyzabel
at the forefront of a great uprising
:VERSE 1 Bi:
the left hand of god, Eifa, hosanna on high
screams towards those with anarchy's flag
:VERSE 1 Bii:
under authority's rule, destined for condemnation
and ordained to fall prey to the hand of fate
:PRE-CHORUS:
son and daughter so defiled
with a glimpse of the other so reviled
son and daughter, enthralled, beguiled
lost to the other with a sensual smile
:CHORUS:
Clothed in the darkness piercing into his soul
wrapped in the warmth of lechery
stymied by loss of control and
driven senseless by the weight of treachery
:VERSE 2 A:
Poured out like an offering,
I am yours to devour
lacerate me and invigorate my vitality
as adrenaline surges across my disposition
:VERSE 2 B i:
this calling is ours, for you and for I
empower us in this moment
:VERSE 2 B ii:
may finality imbue us with assurance
and let our ambition never lead us asunder
:PRE-CHORUS:
son and daughter of zeus and belial
lost to the other in innocence and denial
son and daughter to be put on trial
for dire actions that were left unreconciled
:CHORUS:
Clothed in the darkness piercing into his soul
wrapped in the warmth of lechery
stymied by loss of control and
driven senseless by the weight of treachery
:SOLO:
the scions of jehovah and apollyon
condemned and damned
doomed to drown
