Lyrics

Baghdad

Quickening of the elder
Knowledge of the otherside
Deepweed sets emotion
Hardening of the warrior
The burning
That will never die
Melding of the riffchild
From wall to the universe
Weed priest stoned arrival
Sharpening of the weapons
The skill inside the endless mind

Celestial king walks water
Hear words foretell destruction
Hear words expose corruption
Generation darkening

Echoes from the mountain
A warning to behold the times
Insight saved the blind man
Covenant with the father
The burning that will never die
Supersonic psalmist project
Reveals astro child
Windows of the riffian
Nameless masses cower
From horse and carriage
In the sky
