Elephant - Wanderer of the Skies lyrics

With force I blaze the universe, my whispered lies birth fear I lead the rebellion against the Most Ancient, corrupting the promise of Heaven I am the thief that k**s and destroys with the flash of time I have Commanding the spirits of the ether, seeking prey to devour I am the dragon spoken of in the tales of old d**h on black wings and eyes of blood, revered by the cruelest of spectres and demons I shall infect humanity with a pestilence of hate Aurora in torment, I ravish the first light of dawn With the hammer of evil, I crush the countenance of purity With a rusty, wicked blade I mutilate your flesh Your corpse is now mine to do with as I please Bound in your own web you claw at yourself Riding katabatic winds into the netherworld Where the lunar serpents oppress the shattered rainbow Across the mandrake fields before the labyrinths of Algol I am the cosmos - I am Everlasting O how the lustrous one has fallen A beautiful, tragic fable A sanctuary denied, a punishment for pride Banished for betrayal, father of the false In the slumber of the sages Truth appears as the effulgent sun The legion is vanquished, imprisoned in filth To dwell among the flies, cast into a bottomless pit I am reality, all that exists in this creation, cold and brutal, merciless You are a fantasy - hope for the poor, the weak, the suffering - moral, sanctimonious I am the predator plundering the flock, ripping them breathless, the rule, the alpha dominant Lambs in peril, lost and feeble, slaughtered by the wolves of scorn I am every sin and blasphemy, the source of iniquity, the perversion of mankind I am the thorn in genesis, the salt in the wound, the venom in the ambrosia I took a third of the trusted Host, I crucified the only Son at Golgotha Tongues of Living Fire dancing upon a jade-blue ocean, angry flames will fall Searching for the glory that was blessed unto me, never to rest or sleep again An angel once, now condemned to forever wander the skies
