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]
