The Damascene Conversions

Lyrics: Brock Van Dijk Music: Brock Van Dijk Beyond the shifting sands Is an odium to an unknown god And behind a murderous tide Is a fawning christ on the other side Give it life, give it more Lay another wreath down for Mother War Unto the ages of ages Give it time Beyond the shifting sands Is an odium to an unknown god And behind his murderous tide Is a fawning christ on the other side Give it life, give it form Feed the gaping mouth of the stellarvore The dead will soon be yours Give it time Imagine this, if you will Upon the straight and narrow A paragon of disharmony Where one can only dream Eventually the tide breaks Into the longest of shadows The saeculum turns The candle burns at both ends Chaos is not the exception Into the longest of shadows The saeculum turns The king will kill his jester And too, our instincts to laugh Our first emancipation; Arisen in vain In a world as written by liars The words will come when they ought to Into the longest of shadows When the saeculum turns Into the longest of shadow The saeculum turns And the storm will be perfect Beyond the shifting sands Is an odium to an unknown god And behind a murderous tide Is a fawning christ on the other side Give it life, give it more Lay another wreath down for Mother War Unto the ages of ages Give it time
