Bitter Harvest Lyrics

from the womb of the mother of all sins
time severed forever the root where it all began
from the hollowed mind, incubator of the parasites
weeded out, the un-nurtured flower of ignorance dies
cultivated so tenderly but I shall uproot
with hands set free from the shackles of God
innoculated from the serpent's words
seeds of doubt planted whilst the seeds of faith become scorched
with the dawn of a new day
the millenium ends closing the Christian reign
institutions built on weakness are thwarted
ideals that cannot compute are aborted
extinguished light as the candle fades
bells of mourning sing diabolic serenades
from the dying flock our backs are turned
towards the future of a new world yet unborn
battle hymns played for the war in heaven
lines have been drawn in the sky
I've tempered my blade for the darkest crusade
where curse and miracle and prophecies of Armageddon thrive
extinguished light as the candle fades
bells of mourning sing diabolic serenades
battle hymns played for the war in heaven
lines have been drawn in the sky
I've tempered my blade for the darkest crusade
where curse and miracle and prophecies of Armageddon thrive
battle hymns played for the war in heaven
lines have been drawn in the sky
I've tempered my blade for the darkest crusade
where curse and miracle and prophecies of Armageddon thrive
break through the soil, bathe in new light again
under the fire of a full moon, we shall initiate the pollination
symbol and sign, rapturous wonders of end-times
paradise for the blind, proud child of ignorance dies
extinguished light as the candle fades
bells of mourning sing diabolic serenades
from the dying flock our backs are turned
towards the future of a new world yet unborn
battle hymns played for the war in heaven
lines have been drawn in the sky
I've tempered my blade for the darkest crusade
where curse and miracle and prophecies of Armageddon thrive
"I condemn false prophets, I condemn the effort to take away the power of rational decision, to drain people of their free will, and make a hell of a lot of money in the bargain. Religions vary in their degree
of idiocy, but I reject them all. For most people, religion is nothing more than a substitute for a malfunctioning brain." -Gene Roddenberry
