Memory Garden - The Evangelist lyrics

From nowhere he came No-one knew of his name Indoctrinated those with ignorant minds Righteous were his words, and calming his smile Obscured though, his intentions... Healed the sick, and craved nothing in return Raised the dead Cast the demons out of their heads Just a hearsay, nothing true But convinced them all Gathered his army so well Thought they were saved... "Hear me when I'm calling" Was he first commandment from the evangelist "Sacrifice your lives for me, receive a greater spiritual reward" Turned them into marionettes of faith, so unaware Their longed-for rise was their fall There was no light, to offer guidance for those souls Lost their sight, all blinded by authority No water turned to wine Miracles were never to be seen The sky could have fallen It wouldn't have changed anything at all They built his empire Stone by stone, grave by grave "Heresy must not prevail"
