Revelations
When the sun fades outAnd the blackness shroudsAnd the wolves all howlAnd the stones fall loudWhen the fear is foundAnd nightmares houndWill you drown in the plague that surrounds
Weight upon a point of pressure, watch as it implodesWind upon a way of life, see how it erodesSeek inside a rose to find the wilting of a soulSeize a path unknown and then you’ll walk the world aloneNow travel past the bones of prophets and warlordsPast the empty thrones and treasures of gold hoardsPast the vacant vaults of pharaohs that came beforeBeyond the crowns of kings once mighty and so adoredAnd to the top of the ancient zigguratsTo the pyramids and plots and the holy lands forgotAnd drop by a place where you can find a spotThat can spot a panorama of the messages in cropsThen stop, ponder if it serves to insightDoes it shed a light on the Armageddon that’s in sightCan it aid or help excite the armies that march strongThe battle to find calm that rattles the rage onClimb on in the race to belongHang on in the face of the harmMove through with the pace of a chargeAnd resist the alarm to embrace all the wrongIs it truth or just words in a songIs it hope, is it fear of forgoneAm I knight, am I lowly the pawnLet it known at the sound of the gong
[Chorus:]This is Mayan timesRevelationBut I am not afraidAnd I won’t die todaySo pull me underI fear no thunder
Who knows why their stronghold couldn’t hold me at bayWhy their strength couldn’t control me awayWhy the drive will not decline or decayOr why design will leave alive one todayOne to prey hard in a graveyard layOne to take charge in a Braveheart wayA mournful mist to assist and portrayThe tears of grown men no pen will conveyWithout a leader to address or swayOur losses move under and cross the raw thunderWithout an angel to embrace or saveOur hope is fused into these stones that hold hundredsAnd I choose to standThough I’m bruised and brandedI refuse the noose that I’m handedMy eulogy will read:“To Hell he’s been and sipped their scorched gin with a sinful grin”Oh strange am IStrangely eyed to look calm as our worlds collideFools can find shade thinking fate is blindTheir safety buys stakes for their purpose diesThough worthless lives are worth less livesMy words revive and cry loud for the certain signTill end of days sound and the earth is dryKnow this is a farewell but it’s not goodbye
[Chorus]
