Come and See Lyrics

The first reading came
Words of fire, words of decay
Spilled forth from gaping mouths
A chorus of blasphemy

"Greater is he who lives in Me
Than he who lives in the world

And with thorned, ducal crown
Pierced brow and crushed pate
Death's mask rests bejeweled

He will appear in several forms
The Bearded Philosopher
The Many-Winged Angel
The Scepter-Wielding Child
Come to sing of Second Death
Of sorcerers and their keys
Of endless gates of night
The Last Enemy remains

Guardian of the strident seas
Pained of an empty womb
Leaden castle of silent halls
Malady of sickness
Guardian in his throne
Black tower of the silent womb

Come to sing of Second Death
Of Pale Horse and scythe
Of the great fiery lake
The Last Enemy remains

And they will forever hunger
Gorged, clawing, on divine ordure
And they will find no peace
Sword and spear searching flesh
And they will find no rest
Their labors broken on their backs
And they will seek Good Death
With no map to His mansions

Come and see
