As We Set the Skies Ablaze

Cadaverous pandaemonia of wraiths Kneeling proud at the tomb of redemption Corrupted through benighted faith And myths of primeval conception To those adrift in the aether of dreams Every flickering shadow a deity seems The grand scheme of things is a sham So be damned, for to be damned is to live free Heed the war drums' crescendo As heavenly bodies realign Carving fear into each single breath Of the blind who presume to lecture the blind Withering us to mere traces of echoes Capriciously humbled beneath barren shrines Confined in dread of ideals of Death Through clamorous cries speaking of grand design Conquer the coming horizons Oh Candide, blood of the titan Rise above the chasm of these dire, dying days Child of Man Set the skies ablaze In ever glimmering illuminist ways For haunting is the thought of succumbing To the lash of devotion towards divinity The horizon of reason, most conniving treason Herald of plague, slave of obscenity Three cheers! Dare they to rise from the cave Of credo quia absurdum, the irrational's reign? For such craven enclaves ever crave to enslave Haunting consciousness as Humanity's bane As Humanity's bane Conquer the coming horizon Oh Candide, blood of the titan Rise above the chasm of these dire, dying days Child of Man, - set the skies ablaze Let us declare as enemy The realm of myth and falsity And swear ourselves to perpetually dare To dread untruth and hypocrisy Gods never die Gods never were Gods never die And what dies not may never live Ignite the blackened sky Alight with lies we cannot forgive Gods never lived And what is dead may never die Sever, undeceived All faith impure that I decry
