| | Album: | Dreamweaver | | Track: | The Clerical Conspiracy | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 100 | | | | Lyrics: | BRAND:
"I have wealth beyond measure-
My treasures are words
forged by time in a tale
of
such beauty they cry to be heard.
Still a young fool was I as
my story
begins,
yet like all fools considered
myself to be wise -
a match for all
things.
But the lessons I've learned
I will never forget,
when your teacher is life
then
success is survival and
failure is death.
>From early years I saw the
world
through tunnel-vision eyes,
my cloistered mind philosophized
and
fossilized,
secure in my belief was I -
assured throughout my life the
only things
that could sustain me
were the words of Jesus Christ."
EAPPA:
"There is no way
to fight a foe
who strikes from the inside,
and once within we can begin to
smite
this pagan pride.
We shall take their graven images
and grind them in the dirt,
for
that men can live in paradise
must be the Devils work."
BROTHERS OF THE HOLY
ORDER:
"The clerical conspiracy begins,
we shall wash away your sins-
we have come to
purify,
to purge you of your liberty-
absolve you of all sanity,
the 'truth' you want
to hear
we shall provide."
EAPPA:
"How can we hope to save these
heathen
when we know not of
their ways,
one of us must journey southward-
infiltrate and
then assuage.
Only when we have this knowledge
can we finalise our plans,
greet them
with a velvet glove-
then crush them 'neath an iron hand."
Christian soldiers armed
with virtue-
hearts afire with blind obsession
cannot see the difference
'twixt
compassion and oppression
BRAND:
"These were the days I believed
that
salvation was mine,
when I worshipped apostles
believing their gospels to be
divine.
My life drifted by in a warm summer haze-
and I thought I would bath in the light
of our lord 'till the end of my days.
But destiny mocked me-
and fate did
bequest,
that the strength of my faith in
The Lord God Almighty be put to the
test."
EAPPA:
"My son your word is matchless as
a scribe you have been
blessed,
your skill and faith in God doth
qualify you for our quest.
You will sail to
Southern England
and recount their blasphemies,
for the first step in their cure
must
be to learn of theit disease."
BRAND:
"For one so young so great an honour
to
be chosen for this task,
have I the stength-
would I be worthy?
Questions that I
dared not ask.
Was I to be a missionary searching
for lost souls to save-
or just
another pawn in their
monastic power games?"
BROTHERS OF THE HOLY ORDER:
"The
clerical conspiracy begins,

we have come to purify,
to
purge you of your liberty-
absolve you of all sanity,

heathen when we

you Wat Brand must journey southward-

then crush them 'neath an iron hand."
Christian soldiers armed with

hearts afire with blind obsession

compassion
and oppression.
BRAND:
"And so with terror in my heart
I learned what had to
be,
that I must tour these foriegn shores-
my cross for company.
Those who had
preceded me
of pagan devils warned-
With fearful tales of christian souls
since
martyred on their horns.
In my tale I will tell how we
all were decieved-
for
in truth I was hunted not
hunter as I had believed.
How could I have known that the
guide they'd provide was to
show me far more than I'd ever
imagined I could have
desired?
So soon would I learn
what a fool I had been,
there is more than one side to
a coin-
life is not what it seems ...
It's no more than a dream | | | |
