Lyrics

As we were in the state of trepidation,
in times of disillusionment.
When colours turned black and walls seemed to narrow in.
A world in need of certainty.
Since the bell has tolled for fertile days,
I have found myself as a wanderer.
Where I discovered how I might be a saviour,
since the people were destined to be mine!
Seeking for bliss, craving for warmth.
I shall provide the sheltering hand.
A lone, lost soul, naked and helpless.
Follow me for I am the shepherd.
There was hope I would provide ending starvation.
Encourage the ones who never took a glimpse at the sky.
They found a reason to live as they lost their fear.
I fed them off my hand, such as a saint.
They believed me, what I meant to teach.
I was their mentor, further a lord.
They turned blind, I gained to harvest my seeds.
To fill the frame with colour, I gave them what they wanted most.
My offer, so delightful, thus I was seen as the redemption.
To be released from fear, to be guided to a safe haven, man shall purge himself from all he once was.
Ingest the doctrine to be free.
Seeking for bliss, craving for warmth.
I made them to my own.
Lone, lost souls, found themselves where they belong.
A world I gave them to dissolve.
