Elephant - The Faust Complex lyrics

I now demand ultimate knowledge For I've learned all I can under the sun In my chamber chronicling the codex of history My appetite whetted, I must know more I cast off the triple deity of Jove Not fooled by the stained gla** illusion An immaculate monument frustrating aspirations Holy, defiled, it is no place for me A storming descent through the heavenly body Galactic garden of orbital alignment Chaos to consequence in unnatural order The sinister alchemist at the edge of abyss Yet I am the observer and the observed And my immortal soul is all I sacrifice To understand the universe infinite The deified symmetry of omnipotence Lucifer, son of light, show me the patterns of life For he who understands the game commands all space and time Lucifer, my champion, illuminate for me Kings' and tyrants' power and the cycle of destiny Aries, Aries, god of war, send me to my d**h Zeus, god above all gods, revive me with your breath Lucifer, my shining star, your light is waning cold My eyes are faint, my body aflame, inside I'm grey and old The beast, the man, the goat, the horns, the mask has been removed The morning star, the adversary leaves me at my doom I, the arrogant amateur, have taken all of creation upon myself And now, devoid of soul, my understanding is darkened again At last all I desire is peace and a chance to make amends For love is beyond knowledge - an emotion based on simple faith Margaret, my love, please hearken to my cry My quest it has been all in vain and now I finally die As my story ends, I understand your heart For all that I have learned, I can't explain your love
