Dark figures gather around,
astounded at what they've found
outside their city walls
Something profound
With his translucent skin,
they can see a light within
Glowing, not one knowing
his plight or his origin
Taken deep within the city walls
and shuffled through twisting halls
Deaf to the imprisoned calls
To a viewing room to be inspected
Machines descend overhead
in a hope to revive the dead,
but he was always the one really alive
while they were only just living
While they were only just living
They pierce that body bright and release a light
It hovers and blinds their sight,
illuminating the night
And then one steps aside and screams,
"If we conquer his mind,
we can use him again and again to fulfill the plan!"
What we have, what is here will suit our deeds
Harvest grief, clear their lands, sow the seeds
Now that we stuck the needle in,
he'll forget from where he began
Erase the thought, the idea that he is free
The time is right, the time is now: he's awake
The blade will cut and slice to bring change
For all to be born again, we'll influence every man
We can get what we want, all we need
Is it over? It's over
Does the end welcome me?
Is it over? It's over
Then who will succeed?
Prop him up, apply the chains, let him bleed
The blood of saints, the words of kings they will heed
Some think we are evil men,
but weren't we all born of sin?
Come to truth that came from us, so may it be
Is it over? It's over
Does the end welcome me?
Is it over? It's over
Then who will succeed?
I feel as if I'm back in the snow again
Then I believe I'm in a sterile room.
I flash back to the journey I had to make
Now I'm back into my waiting tomb
Sleep now, sleep now our brother
Dream deep eternal bliss
Recount, remember your future
Open hands will turn to fists
