5. Ashes of Eternity (5:38)
The Hare once betrayed me
And so did the Fox and the Crow
Just once defied me
There's me and there's Space
Where are they?
Maybe dead
No one knows
You can't defy me
Ride all along
With me
There's no tomorrow
(Now let me through and wait for my command)
Don't try to be cruel, oh, my beautiful child
But how can you try to redeem the past?
It's not real as it seems
(Now ride on your wave and get back to that place)
Scratch deeper and deeper and soon I will be on my own
The gods will ignore your end (they'll defend the elder)
The lords won't salute you
The saints they won't save you (they'll defend their guardian)
The savior won't heal your soul
Caesar!
No man's world
It's the Ides of March
Then from the ashes of eternity
(A new spirit will rise)
A new order shall take over
Now raise the flag – the war seems over
And bow your head – at dawn they shall be murdered
Woes, I will not complain
The further you get, the closer's the end, dear
But now I will try
Come and see
That things are not what they may seem
It's all written down
The savior lies bleeding
But he won't surrender
The scriptures don't lie
He'll e turned around
No one to blame
It all goes down
The gods will ignore your end (they'll defend the elder)
The lords won't salute you
The saints they won't save you (they'll defend their guardian)
The savior won't heal your soul
Now go and get your Holy Grail
And don't forget
Just once you'll cross the border
Now let the saints, the saints come marching in
Whatever you'll do, do it fast
My sweet son of decay
Now let the saints, the saints come marching in
Transform
You may pass
Rearrange it
Now change to betray
I won't lie
While bright eyes are turning pale your sands run low
Your light shines
My last try
It'll soon be over
No sign shall be given for ages and more
You may enter first but from now you will be on your own
The gods will ignore your end (they'll defend the elder)
The lords won't salute you
The saints they won't save you (they'll defend their guardian)
The savior won't heal your soul
You're getting your Grail
But there's no place to go
Longing for a new shore
Eastern winds they blow cold
The saints you will bring them down
The savior won't take the crown
Let my spirit fly
(Let it fly...)
And so did the Fox and the Crow
Just once defied me
There's me and there's Space
Where are they?
Maybe dead
No one knows
You can't defy me
Ride all along
With me
There's no tomorrow
(Now let me through and wait for my command)
Don't try to be cruel, oh, my beautiful child
But how can you try to redeem the past?
It's not real as it seems
(Now ride on your wave and get back to that place)
Scratch deeper and deeper and soon I will be on my own
The gods will ignore your end (they'll defend the elder)
The lords won't salute you
The saints they won't save you (they'll defend their guardian)
The savior won't heal your soul
Caesar!
No man's world
It's the Ides of March
Then from the ashes of eternity
(A new spirit will rise)
A new order shall take over
Now raise the flag – the war seems over
And bow your head – at dawn they shall be murdered
Woes, I will not complain
The further you get, the closer's the end, dear
But now I will try
Come and see
That things are not what they may seem
It's all written down

The scriptures don't lie

Eastern winds they blow cold
The saints you will bring them down
The savior won't take the crown
Let my spirit fly
(Let it fly...)
