Voice Of The Immortal

Faster than a rocket train
and higher than the moon.
Even though you can't detect me
I am in the room.

Lord of the invisible
and killer of the weak.
I provide the final answers
but I never speak.

Calculating every option.
Forcing every hand.
Nobody escapes the legion
forces I command.

Built of higher stuff than sin
and granite for a child.
Every lighting crack is bent
and every priest defiled.

Heaven.
Hell.
It's all just death.
Gods.
Appear.
Appease.
Explain.
Expand
but don't command me slave.

Captured by the moment in
the motions of the stars
I control the pyrotechnics
deep within their hearts.

Cast in bronze inanimate
and poised in angers tilt.
Azrael my gauntlet yet
I slaughter you with guilt.

Jesus.
Judas.
Elvis and the saints.
Gods.
Appear.
Appease.
Explain.
Expand
but don't command me slave.

(speech solo)

Captain of the oceans and the
pilot of the wind.
Clouds and clowns of every world
defend me as their king.

Poison is my father and my
mother only lust.
See beyond my iron veil
and feel the dagger thrust.

Chaos.
Hades.
Charon and the Styx.
Gods.
Appear.
Appease.
Explain.
Expand
but don't command me slave.

(solo)

Violet and immortal bones.
A prophet for the chain.
Seal the body in the temple
purified with pain.

Crucify with rhetoric and
crucify my son.
If you think the story's over
it has just begun.
Amen.
