Land of Shadows (feat. Cynic)

I always wondered what death would be like

Especially when dude died and came back and said he didn't see light

Was that a glimpse into eternal sleep, no afterlife?

Or promise of Hell? The mystery is dark as the night

All signs told me my days were numbered walking the Earth

And I'd go out just as bloody as I did on my birth

My mother in pain, she still alive, feeling the hurt

But my agony died with me when the weapon rebirthed

Was it my destiny to lead a caravan in a hearse?

I always thought I'd lead revolutionary victory first

But my enemy caught me slipping and dealt me the curse

Now all my mind can think about is this verse

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I can't sleep like I'm battling meth

The reaper creeps while I'm gasping for breath

I ask the Lord to forgive me for debt

When death comes and my soul leaves my body to rest

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I can't sleep like I'm battling meth

The reaper creeps while I'm gasping for breath

I ask the Lord to forgive me for debt

When death comes and my soul leaves my body to rest

No angels on my arrival and no light either

This might be the end of the road where life leaves you

Atheist prophecy looking likely, firm nonbelievers

Faith is the robbery loot, religion cashing out on the dreamers

In the corner of this room, I'm looking at my body

It's lifeless from a trife death with holes from a shotty

Most of my limbs rotting, cold yet probably

I'm tripping 'cause I'm in the middle

Of the spiritual and physical parting

I wonder if this land of shadows is my purgatory

And wonder why if I was semi-righteous did my end have murder for me?

When I was young, man, I heard the story

If you don't reach your mission in life

You get a second chance for glory

Is there revival for a common man?

Is that survival for the godly plan?

The Bible blueprints the last stand

God and Devil, Armageddon blast gangs

I reincarnate, reborn with a gas mask

I don't think I'm alive, I know I died

Didn't survive that enemy gunfire

This ain't Hell, it's far from Heaven

All I remember, we was fighting in the war of Armageddon

Now I'm stuck in a spiritual realm

I don't think I'm going to either Heaven or Hell

I'm being sent back so we can help

And get it right this last time, we won't fail

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I can't sleep like I'm battling meth

The reaper creeps while I'm gasping for breath

I ask the Lord to forgive me for debt

When death comes and my soul leaves my body to rest

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I can't sleep like I'm battling meth

The reaper creeps while I'm gasping for breath

I ask the Lord to forgive me for debt

When death comes and my soul leaves my body to rest

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

Calvi was reputedly a member of the P2 lodge

P2 was established in 1877, and it was a very traditional

Italian Freemason lodge. However, in the 1960s, it was

Taken over by Gelli. And when Gelli infiltrated the

Organization, it became a Freemason lodge with an agenda

Roberto Calvi had risen through the ranks of Italy's

Banking industry to become chairman of Banco Ambrosiano

Basically, what was going on was vast amounts of money were being

Laundered through Banco Ambrosiano, shipped overseas to Latin

America and other offshore banking points, and then disappearing

One of Italy's largest private banks, with ties to the

Vatican, that earned Calvi the nickname "God's Banker"
