From The Pinnacle To The Pit
You have the power
You wear the crown
From the pinnacle
To the pit
It is a long way down
You wield the scepter
You wear the gown
From the pinnacle
To the pit
It is a long way down
In your empire
They stare and frown
From the pinnacle
To the pit
It is a long way down
You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
Blackened feathers falling down
You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
Blackened feathers falling down
You will wear your independence like a crown
Cruciger globus
You stand your ground
The orbus figure
What's flat looks round
From the pinnacle
To the pit
It is a long way down
You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
Blackened feathers falling down
You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
Blackened feathers falling down
You will wear your independence like a crown
You wear the crown
From the pinnacle
To the pit
It is a long way down
You wield the scepter
You wear the gown
From the pinnacle
To the pit
It is a long way down
In your empire
They stare and frown
From the pinnacle
To the pit
It is a long way down
You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
Blackened feathers falling down
You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
Blackened feathers falling down
You will wear your independence like a crown
Cruciger globus
You stand your ground
The orbus figure
What's flat looks round
From the pinnacle
To the pit
It is a long way down
You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
Blackened feathers falling down
You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
Blackened feathers falling down
You will wear your independence like a crown

Cirice
I feel your presence amongst us
You cannot hide in the darkness
Can you hear the rumble?
Can you hear the rumble that's calling?
I know your soul is not tainted
Even though you've been told so
Can you hear the rumble?
Can you hear the rumble that's calling?
I can feel the thunder that's breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
I can feel the thunder that's breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
A candle casting a faint glow
You and I see eye to eye
Can you hear the thunder?
Can you hear the thunder that's breaking?
Now there is nothing between us
From now our merge is eternal
Can't you see that you're lost?
Can't you see that you're lost without me?
I can feel the thunder that's breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
I can feel the thunder that's breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
Can't you see that you're lost without me?
I can feel the thunder that's breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
I can feel the thunder that's breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
You cannot hide in the darkness
Can you hear the rumble?
Can you hear the rumble that's calling?
I know your soul is not tainted
Even though you've been told so
Can you hear the rumble?
Can you hear the rumble that's calling?
I can feel the thunder that's breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
I can feel the thunder that's breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
A candle casting a faint glow
You and I see eye to eye
Can you hear the thunder?
Can you hear the thunder that's breaking?
Now there is nothing between us
From now our merge is eternal
Can't you see that you're lost?
Can't you see that you're lost without me?
I can feel the thunder that's breaking in your heart

I can feel the thunder that's breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
Can't you see that you're lost without me?
I can feel the thunder that's breaking in your heart

I can feel the thunder that's breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you

He Is
We're standing here by the abyss and the world is in flames.
Two star-crossed lovers reaching out to the beast with many names.
He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see.
And he is
Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be.
He is
Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater.
He is.
We're hiding here inside a dream and all our doubts are now destroyed.
The guidance of the morning stars will lead the way into the void.
He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see.
And he is
Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be.
He is
Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater.

He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see.
And he is
Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be.
He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see.
And he is
The disobedience that holds us together.
He is
Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater.
And we are falling over the precipice.
Two star-crossed lovers reaching out to the beast with many names.
He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see.
And he is

Mummy Dust
I was carried on a wolf's back
To corrupt humanity
I will pummel it with opulence
With corpulence and greed
In God you trust
My mummy dust (dust)
Mummy dust (dust)
Your cavalier of crapulence
To this feast of rapacity
I will bury you in treasures
Just to feed your incapacity
In God you trust
My mummy dust (dust)
My mummy dust
In God you trust
My mummy dust (dust)
My mummy dust
You are the possessée of avarice
I am the ruler of the Earth
I will smother you in riches
Until you choke on sordid mirth
You are summoned in cupidity
Purulence and lust
I am the magnet for stupidity
And divine you feel my thrust
In God you trust
My mummy dust (dust)
My mummy dust
In God you trust
My mummy dust (dust)

Majesty
A higher power underground
From seraph skies and now to chaos bound
He's sitting sacred and profound
In midst of sinners lifting up to kiss his crown
Pathetic humans in despair
Defaced, deflowered, now to death devout
A fallen angel in His lair
In midst of sinners kneeling down before his clout
Old One,
Master
All beauty lies within
Old One,
Master
All beauty lies within you
This oasis is a poison well
Of rotting carcasses that clog the deep
A prince in exile here in Hell
In midst of sinners flocking up like soulless sheep
Old One,
Master
All beauty lies within
Old One,
Master
All beauty lies within you
Old One,
Master
All beauty lies within
Old One,
Master
All beauty lies within you
Old One,
Master
All beauty lies within
Old One,

All beauty lies within you

Absolution
Ever since you were born you've been dying
Every day a little more you've been dying
Dying to reach the setting sun
As a child, with your mind on the horizon
Over corpses, to the prize you kept your eyes on
Trying to be the chosen one
All those things that you desire
You will find here in the fire
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
Even now when you're here you are moving
Hysterically seeking out what needs improving
And you're still asking for the sun
All those things that you desire
You will find here in the fire
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
Every day a little more you've been dying
Dying to reach the setting sun
As a child, with your mind on the horizon
Over corpses, to the prize you kept your eyes on
Trying to be the chosen one
All those things that you desire
You will find here in the fire
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
Even now when you're here you are moving
Hysterically seeking out what needs improving
And you're still asking for the sun
All those things that you desire
You will find here in the fire
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution

Deus In Absentia
In this your time of need?
You're turning to the light
You have just begun to explore the dark
In the urban night
The world is on fire
And you are here to stay and burn with me
A funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forevermore (more)
You're so goddamn frail
Failing for a change
You just had to know all about the world
But you will never know
'Cause no one ever told you how
The world is on fire
And you are here to stay and burn with me
A funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forever
The world is on fire
And we are tied as one eternally
A funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forevermore (more)
(Deus, Deus)
All of your imaginations
Are now running down your face
All of your imaginations
Are now running down your face
Oh, you are looking good
Payback in disgrace
And you're doing fine worshipping your lord
Standing in his grace
'Cause no one ever told you how
The world is on fire
And you are here to stay and burn with me
A funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forever
The world is on fire
And we are tied as one eternally
A funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forevermore (more)
(Deus, Deus)
