[00:00.00]I. Eruption
[00:00.00](instrumental)
[00:23.77]II. Stones of Years
[00:23.77]Has the dawn ever seen your eyes?
[00:30.93]Have the days made you so unwise?
[00:36.53]Realize, you are.
[00:41.97]Had you talked to the winds of time,
[00:49.27]Then you'd know how the waters rhyme,
[00:54.67]Taste of wine,
[00:56.57]How can you know where you've been?
[01:01.87]In time you'll see the sign
[01:08.57]And realize your sin.
[01:13.37]Will you know how the seed is sown?
[01:21.07]All your time has been overgrown,
[01:26.57]Never known.
[01:29.67]Have you walked on the stones of years?
[01:36.77]When you speak, is it you that hears?
[01:42.57]Are your ears full?
[01:45.37]You can't hear anything at all.
[01:50.07]III. Iconoclast
[01:50.07](instrumental)
[02:00.07]IV. Mass
[02:00.07]The preacher said a prayer.
[02:03.97]Save every single hair on his head.
[02:07.77]He's dead.
[02:09.17]The minister of hate had just arrived too late to be spared.
[02:15.57]Who cared?
[02:17.07]The weaver in the web that he made!
[02:22.07]The pilgrim wandered in,
[02:25.57]Commiting every sin that he could
[02:29.37]So good...
[02:30.87]The cardinal of grief was set in his belief he'd saved
[02:37.47]From the grave
[02:38.97]The weaver in the web that he made!
[02:43.77]The high priest took a blade
[02:47.37]To bless the ones that prayed,
[02:50.87]And all obeyed.
[02:52.47]The messenger of fear is slowly growing, nearer to the time,
[02:59.27]A sign.
[03:00.67]The weaver in the web that he made!
[03:05.67]A bishops rings a bell,
[03:09.17]A cloak of darkness fell across the ground
[03:13.87]Without a sound!
[03:15.37]The silent choir sing and in their silence,
[03:20.97]Bring jaded sound, harmonic ground.
[03:25.57]The weaver in the web that he made!
[03:27.57]V. Manticore
[03:27.57](instrumental)
[03:28.57]VI. The Battlefield
[03:28.57]Clear the battlefield and let me see
[03:32.47]All the profit from our victory.
[03:36.47]You talk of freedom, starving children fall.
[03:41.27]Are you deaf when you hear the season's call?
[03:45.97]Were you there to watch the earth be scorched?
[03:50.97]Did you stand beside the spectral torch?
[03:55.77]Know the leaves of sorrow turned their face,
[04:00.87]Scattered on the ashes of disgrace.
[04:04.97]Every blade is sharp; the arrows fly
[04:10.07]Where the victims of your armies lie,
[04:14.97]Where the blades of brass and arrows reign
[04:19.97]Then there will be no sorrow,
[04:23.97]Be no pain.
[04:26.57]VII. Aquatarkus
