Land Beyond the Stars Lyrics

when I woke up and realized our values were a myth
it was an epiphany
and the external God separated by myth
was part of the fabric of you and I
we stand at the threshold of time
a vision chilling to the bone
open the doorway to a new beginning for man
and all new glories to behold
we’re tearing through the ties that bind
fools to words and the blind to lies
we’re decimating false facades
battle cry: fuck your God
this world does not deserve salvation
no redemption for the lost generation
where you find refuge, I find rejection
and God does not live here anymore
I have turned each vice into a virtue
but the Church has turned virtue to vice
mourn your faith, bask in it’s disgrace
I’ve declared war on the world of lies
I've reached for the prize of Paradise as it fades from my grasp
In the Garden forbidden fruit turns sour, turned rotten in my hands
seeking truth in darkness, thorns cut into the brow of the icon of every faith
let me be the one to cast the first stone at the human race
have you ever been in a crowded room and remain utterly alone?
an uncommon destiny not to be shared, haven’t you known all along?
born into the Abyss, stand against the wind, steadfast and sure
toiling against the heavens, only to inherit the wind, still I endure
all for the ingrates…
let me be the one to cast the first stone at the human race
no pearl of wisdom, nary a grain of sand
in all your collective knowledge
all I see is emptiness
a desire to leave this place and not return
nothing left for me in the accursed Earth
and never to return… never to return
The final stage of evolution ….
It was but a conscious decision
rise up and leave the shell of a body behind
now departed for the land beyond the stars… land beyond the stars… land beyond the stars
