Intro
Conform to your convictions
Or be destined to receive
Anti-Messiahs with the cruelest of intentions
And a dozen dirty tricks up their sleeve
You say you cant remember how much time
You spent forsaking his name to try to save your own
So there will be no sense in penitence
Once youre cast into the great unknown
Rolling over in your bed just to kiss the serpents head
Seven lonely virgins on a dead mans thrown
Silent prayers carved in stone
, , , , , , )
What reward awaits the living
If death conceals its trace
How can we climb the waters if weve never swam the mountains
Or explored the breath of inner space
You say you cant recall a better time youve had
Beneath the penetrating tide
So you find another stage to protest
All the demons that youve let inside
Rolling over in your bed just to kiss the serpents head
Seven lonely virgins on a dead mans thrown
Silent prayers carved in stone
Ignore those apparitions
Just speculate instead
If day turns in tonight without the promise of tomorrow
How the hell are you to move ahead
(Maybe you should spend) less time trying
To forsake his name to try to save your own
Just trade in your two cents for penitence
Before youre cast into the great unknown
Rolling over in your bed just to kiss the serpents head
Seven lonely virgins on a dead mans thrown
Silent prayers carved in stone
Rolling over in your bed just to kiss the serpents head
Seven lonely virgins on a dead mans thrown
Silent prayers carved in stone
