Reflect the world In all I see Mirrored shadows Evoke the nether world Divine transcend Outside of existence Primordial light Falls on ancient stone As above, so below Apostasy, apostasy As above, so below Monarchy of shadows Between the worlds Mercurial light Descending from A blood red sky Ordained in darkness To realms of perdition World illusion Shadow existence As above, so below Apostasy, apostasy As above, so below Monarchy of shadows Wash away your sins With the blood of angels With blood of the fallen Across an empty sky Slow glass nightmare On morbid wings Desecration dawn Of an empty God Oh God of nothing Kingdom of lies Devoid of reason Alone in eternity

MAN OF THE TOMBS Words & Music: Bob Bennett © 1989 Matters Of The Heart Music (ASCAP) Man of the tombs He lives in a place where no one goes And he tears at himself And lives with a pain that no one knows He counts himself dead among the living He knows no mercy and no forgiving Deep in the night he's driven to cry out loud Can you hear him cry out loud? Man of the tombs Possessed by an unseen enemy He breaks every chain And mistakes his freedom for being free Shame and shamelessness equally there Like a random toss of a coin in the air Man of the tombs, he's driven to cry out loud Underneath this thing that I've become A fading memory of flesh and blood I curse the womb, I bless the grave I've lost my heart, I cannot be saved Like those who fear me, I'm afraid Like those I've hurt, I can feel pain Naked now before my sin And these stones that cut against my skin Some try to touch me, but no one can For man of the tombs I am Down at the shoreline Two sets of footprints meet One voice is screaming Other voice begins to speak In only a moment and only a word The evil departs like a thundering herd Man of the tombs, he hears this cry out loud Underneath this thing that you've become I see a man of flesh and blood I give you life beyond the grave I heal your heart, I come to save No need to fear, be not afraid This Man of Sorrows knows your pain I come to take away your sin And bear it's marks upon My skin When no one can touch you, still I can For Son of God I am Dressed now and seated Clean in spirit and healthy of mind Man of the tombs He begs to follow, but must stay behind He'll return to has family with stories to tell Of mercy and madness, of heaven and hell Man of the tombs, soon he will cry out loud Underneath this thing that I once was Now I'm a man of flesh and blood I have a life beyond the grave I found my heart, I can now be saved No need to fear, I am not afraid This Man of sorrows took my pain He comes to take away our sin And bear it's marks upon His skin I'm telling you this story because Man of the tombs I was

Oh, I see you in your cobra nest All dressed up in your Sunday best In the opal morning light See your gun there shining bright Shining bright Now the storm is on its way Coming here to break the day Steaming rain Oh, you go shoot me down Take my halo, yoke and crown Yoke and crown 'Cause I've been to the darkest place I know You, my dear, shouldn't fear what lies below It's just bones Now you go softly soft Picking out better bones than your own Oh, I see you creep in the dark Sticking pins into the rain To wash away I've been to the only place I know It's just bones So you, my dear, shouldn't fear what lies below It's just bones Just bones Bones, bones, bones, bones, bones Bones, bones, bones, bones, bones Bones, bones, bones, bones, bones So how can love bare to see you, bare to see you go alone? Black and blue,this beating heart's got the same blood As your own, as your own So you, my dear, shouldn't fear what lies below It's just bones And I've been to the darkest place you know It's just bones Bones, bones, bones, bones Bones, bones, bones, bones
