SAVAGE MESSIAH lyrics : "The Mask of Anarchy"

Waging wars of liberty, under a veil of secrecy
In procession it arrived, one by one and side by side
To stamp out the sense of will, dead earth upon dead earth we till

Until in union we praise, thou art god and king and grace.

On a white horse it arrived

Expressionless like one deprived
He is anarchy no less
And on his brow the shadow rests

Trampling over English land
Blood of the commoner on hand
And in the blood swept deluge claim

The right to govern in its name.

What is slavery you could tell? To taste freedom and taste well

Yet when its very name has grown a mere echo of its own
And forced upon this forgery, this life blood of society
A measure of what you believe, no more value than you see.


It is to be a slave in soul and to hold no strong control
Over your own wills but be all that others make you see

And so accept the consequence behind the walls of our defense
Afraid to see beyond the mask in the final blood stained task.


In the hour of the dark, a cornered hunter bares his mark
Cast into the abyss, screaming whirlwinds cry sadness.


I cannot see, I cannot feel, only anger rising
Like a cancer spreading now, lonely life subsiding.


I am frozen emotion gone in the pandemonium
All is lost all is spent, lost inside and hiding.


Rise like lions after slumber
In un vanquish able number
Shake your chains to earth like dew

Which in sleep had fallen on you
You are many they are few x 2
