about

Lyrics inspired by Beksinski and Milton's "Paradise Lost."

lyrics

Fear
I let it take ahold of me
In this place…
Where God
Gently turns the other cheek
To look away…
And Death
Looms above like a guide
Oh so old…
And Life
Looms behind me like the lies
I never told…

As I descend into hell
the place where the greatest of angels dwells
I’ll take the greatest of man in me
To rise above just to fall again free

Strength!
I let it grow inside of me
It feeds my will…
I’ll rise!
Through the bleak, blood canopy
To reach the hill…
Where I
At the peak survey them all
With pitied eyes
Souls
Who so morosely chose to fall
Or couldn’t rise…

Pray, pray your lives away, ‘cause the price of faith
Is a life in chains
To be saved is to be enslaved, when it’s all a game
That we’re taught to play
