The Apocalyptist Lyrics

Do not reach for me and look for surrender
Do not read from that soiled book
Do you have any life left in you?
Do you see the shadows that I live with?
Follow me into the setting sun
From beneath the ocean for the world is done
Hard as the earth, he did not weep for me
So I took the gifts I could ill afford

My acclamations pierced the sky
For the blue-eyed angels that I would defy

A charter sealed by a bloody crown
And a head was carved way upon the mast
And all sailors of the sea were left to drown

His sole child now dead. His soul crawling away
Sick into the night, folds away from the day
He will ask for nothing but the treasure of life
From the angel of darkness to a bright shining light
Unbind him from all this agony
And breaking apart, he now becomes free
He lived inside a dream for 100 years
Born inside the night and then reappears
You know a secret call that will have him back
A true weight on the world, with its feathers all black
Against sheer hopelessness he kept on glowing
Inside our minds without us even knowing

I cannot hold on forever
I can't even lend you my wings
These thorns that I deliver
For the crown of all kings

A charter sealed by a bloody crown
And a head was carved way upon the mast
And all sailors of the sea were left to drown

Blast free of your tears. Hold the hand of your fears
Grind your altar to dust. Know your weapons are just.

I cannot hold on forever
I can't even lend you my wings
These thorns that I deliver
For the crown of all kings
