The Killing Hand

[I. The Observance] [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] An Angel's kiss Now fallen Descending scarlet Cuts the sky Faded names Left on the wall Honor the fighting Leave life to die, oh [Verse 2] Remembered is the sacrifice But no praisal of blood still flowing Who were the leaders? What controlled the killing hand That caused this mourning? Crossing over [II. Ancient Renewal] [Verse 3] Lowered deep into the sea Being awaits to cleanse his soul Senses weakening time is still Motionless by stiffening cold The wheels race back and scorch his mind Travelling all to find the land Revelation warms a touch And now he will begin to understand [III. The Stray Seed] [Verse 4] Extended a view To yesterday Manifestation for none The same Walking amidst A frightening still No sound, no smoke No scorching flames He is risen [Verse 5] Sipping his poison The raven sings Yet another to add More bodies fallen King from below This one controls The Killing Hand That caused this mourning [Bridge] Is it all over? Is it all over? [IV. Thorns] [Verse 6] Evil genius this secret plan Mercy dealt with the losing hand Will he ever fall? Can he end it all? Our savior must make his stand [Verse 7] Only a Prophet of years to come Wanting mortality I'm all alone He heard my voice, it was my choice I've stopped the Killing Hand [Instrumental Break] [V. Exodus] [Verse 8] When I go back again Will it be the same? I've stopped the cries But now they know my name The sea is calling me My spirit must return As I get closer, was it really worth What I have learned? Oh [Verse 9] I'm in the valley And the saddened chimes I hear Race to the wall to find: One more name appears No one is left now My one and only land I laugh at what I've done I am the Killing Hand [Instrumental Outro]
