Pig Faced Gods Lyrics

Through faded windows into time, we see, as shadows, as omens.
And, as the fall of Man and angels speeds closer into focus,
Blurry scenes of despair and hopelessness sharpen
As Time's clouds fade.

Through struggle, toil, and want, he progresses slowly
But reverts to baseless fables and myths.

Crushing force of conquest breeds a new type of slave.

What once entrapped them is now embraced... The Fear of captivity
Sheer hatred required to breed such malice began to weld them to The Fear
Until they saw themselves as Pig Faced Gods...

Pounding the drums of progress until once-familiar rhythms became strange,
And the need for a new dance was born.
Through faded windows into time, we see, as shadows, omens of the reign of
the... Pig Faced Gods...

Until the last sand of time blows away....
Until we realize that the voices we once held as canon are merely shallow, distorted ghosts ...
trying to break free from the dark.

We are but loose ends flailing through time.
Captivity breeds contempt for reality.
Tree of Life blooms within the bowels of mankind.
Every generation finds a way to burn it down.

We all watched as the hearse with the unknown idol took our king away
And the last word from our mouths was uttered - Babylon.
Hierophants place signs over the doors of once holy places -
'Ichabod - In hoc signo vinces'

Inconsistencies now arise, destroying the pillars of thought
Human nature breaks down in the final days
Revelations have brought violence of a new kind
For years the settled conquest of belief is now disputed

A new world order, chaos and godliness
Humans realizing their own power, and creating life as they see fit
Running wild with a new feeling of freedom only just found
Now they overturn the creator, who commanded:
"Thou shalt not voyage thus far"

Through faded windows into time, we see, as shadows, as omens.
And, as the fall of Man and angels speeds closer into focus,
Blurry scenes of despair and hopelessness sharpen
As Time's clouds fade,
But reverts to baseless fables and myths

Truth has arrived
Create or destroy
Life seems eternal
But nothing else is

Engulfed with fire, (the) world... rises... at once
Killing the old, the pious, the false
The greatest and oldest temples now burn
As the lamp of knowledge is lit... by their flame
