I met a man on the rings of Saturn
who met a god in the eye of the sun
He blew my mind when he showed me the pattern
on the banks of a river when the world was young
I killed a prophet in the witch's graveyard
Drank from the grail on the mountain of dawn
but the Nexus of Dreams put a spirit inside me
said the first one out gets a seat in the hall
I stole a seed from the ancient forest
I sold secrets to the Devil again
I found the prison at the end of time
and I bribed the guard to let me back in
Followed the map on the Shroud of Turin
Held up the sky while the titan slept
Heard a voice in the rolling thunder
said the Eye of Horus ain't seen nothing yet
I got high on a dying pulsar
and left the world of the gods behind
til the Mother Crone of the Final Epoch
pulled me back through a hole in time
She told to reach down and pull a strand from the cosmic thread
cause one glimpse to the naked vacuum will pull your mind over the edge

Hobbled and contorted
the wretched wicked ones, oh yea!
Bring me your lame
Or skin like rough leather
lacerated lesions, yea!
Come to the stage
Step right up and make your ailments known
I’m your ticket taking miracle
The master of this septic carnival
The wager’s set, the jackpot makes you whole
Scrofulous and wheezing
struggling to breath again
Bring me your ill
With pox upon the mind
but never shall ye find a cure to rival mine.
Step right up and make your ailments known
I’m your ticket taking miracle
We four are sure to cure your health
and all it takes is all your wealth
but the cure is always worse than the disease
Amen
We will return again
For all men fear the end

None left alive
I have survived in this cold, dark, bitter hell
The wind and snow
drive me below 'neath these icy walls
My shelter, my grave
Sight of all sights,
I then beheld a creature glowing beneath the shelf
Wayward traveller in my selfsame strait
Lost and moribund!
Spade in hand and strength renewed
I dug it out of its frozen tomb
knowing not what my valor would occasion
We were lost and moribund!
At long last its burden was shed
and a voice spoke in my head
offering recompense grand
to the one who would be its savior

We set upon the stage, another triumph on the road
and from the room there came a reddish glow
Twas then that he appeared in the center of the room
and a sulfurous cloud sent patrons to their doom
What was there before us?
God above, what did we see?
From heaven thrown to darkness, it was he!
"Long now I have watched you from beyond and from afar
and I can help you become so much more"
A firm shout to one cast out
You'll plant no seed
With his own band a man should stand
He'll pay no heed
Devil get ye back to that cesspool you call home
for we are men of good with wills of stone
He then replaced the parchment in his case and thus he spake;
"One day on the road your will shall break!"
A firm shout to one cast out
You'll plant no seed
With his own band a man should stand
He'll pay no heed
A last word to one now heard
We'll stand strong
but a sly gaze through a venue razed
"For how long?"
From that day forth, in our minds we'd always know
a watchful eye was there wherever we'd go
A darkness underneath the winding highway of our fate
urging us to reconsider before it's too late

As I gaze upon the sea, a chill runs through my bones
Cause I know that from this day, I walk the world alone
The fires of vengeance, burning bright, ignite within my soul
I swear to you, oh Sea and Sky
I shall make you pay for what you stole
Your debt is due and I will be made whole
I will find the timeless, sightless one
and see your cruel divinity undone
Not a word she said to me, yet sensed in me no fear
And handed me a cryptic key within a mystic sphere
I hired a crew of desperate men, a wretched sight were they
and we set sail for parts unknown before the break of day
Demon of the sea, I come for thee
You gave your lives to the ocean
now give your death to the sea!
When we met you were hollow men
who cast your lot with me!
From the stern to the stem
and to our glorious end
we will drown with the devils
as angels we'll ascend, yea!
"All ye know my name
Your journey is in vain
The sea is my domain
Forever shall I reign"

Thor's hammer crashed to the earth with a mighty rumble. When the smoke cleared, there were some guys. Some stuff happened, something about a quest to rock some towns, and now we play melodeath.
