歌词
Please allow me to introduce myself
My name's Elijah Ramsey
And the county judge mistook my prophecies
For incoherent rambling
Well the part where the lion's mouth
Open wide and full of embers
Bares its teeth towards the Middle East
Where I first saw my vision
I had just turned seventeen
On the day that I enlisted
I'd seen the high keeps of my country fall
On a classroom television
Too young to know the cost of war
But with the warrior's holy vengeance
I left home for a maze of stone
Hell smoke rising in the distance
I heard a voice from the minaret
Singing "Mankind the pariah
Who thinks the devil speaks in whispered lies
To every nation creed and number"
Only the dead have known the end of war
When all the laws of man fall silent
The trumpet in the tower rings
The sky from crimson red to violet
"Which of you will heed the call
Who among you will keep vigil
Against the rising fire of man's desire
Come to devour all the living?"
