Lecherous Nocturne - Those Having Been Hidden Away lyrics

Fingers of occultaclysmic shadow Flames from which Templars gasp Pious observers not even ash Continue their influence on the ignorant and the learned Those who once were revered Long arm of pontificate Arbiter's judging hand Fearing what they think they know Heretics offered as fuel Unaware hypocrisy is spoken From the mouths of kings Kings who forget they didn't crown themselves Speak the very words Gnostics kissed a blazing stake for Misconceived beliefs Coupled with a silken tongue Transforms gilded glory Into shreds of faded heraldry Accusing, Smiling, grin of cinders Still mocks blind men self-a**ure If but brief calm could be achieved Screaming, charred limbs, taste of Templar's blood We did not see what we buried In pride, we did not remember Cannot avoid cyclic deconstruction Nor will we change, and recall those having been hidden away...
