Album Unsung Prophets & Dead Messiahs
Lyrics
In the dark I live
"Without any freedom in life"
Those darkened shadows do not deceive
They are all I see and know
This cave is all I breathe
"In chains 'til the day that you die"
This crimson fire burns at my back
Like waves of nothing it flows
"One can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark
But one cannot forgive a man who is afraid of the light"
Gods. Blind. Death. Chains. Dark. Bravery.
War versus peace
Ignorance versus strength
Freedom versus slavery
The dreamer must awake
لا إله إلا الله
"There is no god except Allah"
"La illaha illallah"
Within a dream, I cannot forsake
All hope has flown away
"This dark shall be your friend"
Your wish is not my command
"Free thought will lead you astray"
The brother looks from above
I cannot forsake the brother I love
"One can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark
The real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light"
The stage is set for me
"Your life is a play that we wrote"
The curtain has to rise now you shall see
"This tragedy is the ending we sought"
"The shadows are dancing upon the wall"
The man who has the gift of sight is one with truth in heart
He sees beyond the veil of life, our cave he will depart
Like Icarus he will fly too high and for that he must die
"Those unsung prophets and dead messiahs will fall"
"We choose to live in this darkened cave, far, far away from the light"
