Black Obelisk

Black obelisk floating in the sky
Casts a shadow across the countryside
Nobody knows from where it came or why
It just hangs there
While fighter jets buzz past
It makes no noise
No response to the questions asked
Black obelisk knifes the passing clouds
Fires warm the camps of pilgrims on the ground
It does nothing
Been that way for months
The nukes are ready
In the event it attacks us
They wonder what to do
For now...now there are two
More keep appearing
One every 90 days or so
In ten years its predicted
The Earth will be surrounded

The Strangers
04:15

They give you candy
They come from afar
They smile as they pass by
In flying red cars
Mom, who are these strangers?
Hush, child, don't you talk
Just do as they say now
Look down as they walk by

Pick up your sword
Throw down your plow
The world is changing
It's changing now
And so it went
The herald's cry
The morning broke
As the warnings flew by
The guard gathered at the valley
On the safe fell of the dale
They lined up in their farmer's clothes
And what armour they could avail
The fear they felt was waning fast
Resolve welling in their hearts
When in the gap their foes appear
It was time for war to start
Blood spilled upon the hills
The shock of bone and blade
Great deeds were done that day
And many widows made
From the North
Black witches come
And from the East
Our enemy's sons
No time to waste
Yes, it's all true
They're coming for me
they're coming for you
The earth trembled from the fighting
The valley filled with smoke and ash
The dark host started to withdraw
That's when the wizards clashed
A black witch started chanting
Against the guard she cast her spell
Confusion set in amongst the men
Their real foes they could not tell
Blood spilled upon the hills
The shock of bone and blade
Great deeds were done that day
And many widows made
Grab your swords
Defend the town
Kill the bastards
Take their generals down
Be keen in judgement
Swift with your blade
You must rise up
If we're to be saved
It was a living nightmare
The spell having been cast
Friend killing friend
At this rate they won't last
As those who were watching
Threw their hands to the sky
There was a brilliant flash of light
That blinded everyone's eyes
Throw down your sword
And take a breath
The battle's over
You cheated death
Behold the fields
Where bodies lay
Mark the vision
Remember this day

I am a traveler
In space and time
I go out and in
Real and imagined
If you have questions
I will not answer
If you have answers
I will not ask
I see, I see
Call me what you will
I'm free, I'm free
Roll me down the hill
I walk this road
I have no horse
Just my two feet
I go in peace
I see, I see
Call me what you will
I'm free, I'm free
Roll me down the hill
You can drag me away
I will not change
I'm the universe
This a cosmic play
I see, I see
Call me what you will
I'm free, I'm free
Roll me down the hill
I'll carve a message
In this stone wall
I'll leave you wondering
Where I have gone
I see, I see
Call me what you will
I'm free, I'm free
Roll me down the hill
I see, I see
Call me what you will
I'm free, I'm free
Roll me down the hill

I've been away
For so damn long
I'm starting to feel the strain
Extended mission
Beyond the lines
I don't know if I like being away
From Home
I can't wait to go home
mmm Home
oooo will you remember my face and know my name
They sold it well
And I believed them
A once in a lifetime view
I'm here alone
The stars don't blink
All I have are the worms to talk to
'bout Home
I can't wait to go home
mmm Home
oooo I can rememeber your tender lips and the way you squeezed me tight
When duty calls
I'm protecting this zone
But for this solider
There is no place like home
Got a picture
Of me and you
Right here inside my coat
A perfect shot
Can not compare
To the memory of your sweet smell
There're many nights
When the sky is clear
I don't know if I'm hallucinating
But the shadows
Bounced off the moon
Look like you when you're slow dancing
Back home
I can't wait to go home
mmm Home
oooo is it true that you were pregnant and the little boy is mine
So there it is
I just can't help it
The questions keep going through my mind
Is he healthy?
Who does he look like?
I hope it's you and I can't wait to see him smile
When I'm home
I can't wait to go home
mmm Home
oooo We'll get married when I return and we'll start a brand new life
When duty calls
I'm protecting this zone
But for this solider
there is no place like home
Not much longer

The Great Destroyer
07:50
|
|||
I've come to reveal
What you should know
After eight thousand years
Of freedom to grow
What have you done
Since time was renewed?
With the gifts you received?
The wisdom in you?
All that I see
Beguiler man-kings
Ignoring their hearts
And the ancient warnings
I've come to destroy
All that you've made
It's black and corrupted
None will be saved
I am the Great Destroyer
I don't care if you fall
It was your sin that called me
Say goodbye to it all
There are other dimensions
There are other worlds
There are other beings
None you've observed
But they've acted upon you
And some have steered you right
But there are demons who whisper
And feed on your light
And you've given in to them
Believed in their lies
Feeding the parasite
While the good in you dies
I am the Great Destroyer
I don't care if you fall
It was your sin that called me
Say goodbye to it all
