The Gates Of Delirium (Studio Run Through) Songtext / Lyric

I. Prelude

Stand and fight, we do consider

Reminded of an inner pact between us, that's seen as we go

And ride there, in motion



To fields in depth of honour, defending

Stand the marchers soaring talons

Peaceful lives will not deliver freedom, fighting we know

Destroy oppression, the point to reaction



As leaders look to you, attacking

Choose and renounce, throwing chains to the floor

Kill or be killing, faster sins correct the flow

Casting giant shadows off fast penetrating force



To alter via the war that's seen, as friction spans the spirits wrath ascending to redeem

Wars that shout in screams of anguish

Power spent passion bespoils our soul receiver, surely we know

In glory we rise to offer

Create our freedom, a word we utter






A word

Words cause our banner, victorious our day

Will silence be promised as violence displays

The curse increased, we fight the power and live by it by day



Our gods awake in thunderous roars and guide the Leader's hand in paths of glory to the cause

Listen, should we fight forever

Knowing as we do know, fear destroys

Listen, should we leave our children

Listen, our lives stare in silence



Help us now

Listen, your friends have been broken

They tell us of your poison, now we know

Kill them, give them as they give us

Slay them, burn their children's laughter



On to hell

The fist will run, grasp metal to gun

The spirit sings in crashing tones, we gain the battle drum

Our cries will shrill, the air will moan and crash into the dawn

The pen won't stay the demon's wings



The hour approaches, pounding out the Devil's sermon

III. Soon

Soon, oh soon the light

Pass within and soothe this endless night



And wait here for you

Our reason to be here

Soon, oh soon the time

All we move to gain will reach and calm

Our heart is open

Our reason to be here

Long ago, set into rhyme

Soon, oh soon the light

Ours to shape for all time, ours the right

The sun will lead us

Our reason to be here

Soon, oh soon the light

Ours to shape for all time, ours the right

The sun will lead us

Our reason to be here
