"How It Began Is How It Will End"
Losing more and more of what brings us hope
Deceiving words from an arrogant pope
An organization seeks revenge for a loss
An unknown man is avenged by controlled chaos
Dominos are falling faster than they are placed
Fears are taking over before they can be faced
Scatter the masses with multiple explosions
Burning to death while quoting theologians
The master barks his orders
The city closes its borders
The decorated ones move in to lock the doors at home
The ground shakes beneath the collapsing dome
Waves crash down and wash away the dirt
Close the eyes and pretend it doesn't hurt
Shiva's dance brings Brahma's return
When everything looks the same it's hard to discern
The captain tells you he's going to right the ship
The queen moves in to take the bishop
The pawns are eaten by the cannibal
The remains are fought over by the animals
It all happened while we slept
Kept hidden in the tears the widows wept
Waiting for their lovers to be brought back
Singing songs of sadness until the sky turned black
Red and yellow stars fell upon their faces
Fires originating from unknown places
No one will speak of the secrets of the King
To reveal the truth is to feel the sting
A paralyzing venom injected into the vein
Using an experiment to erase the contents of the brain
Making him wish he was never born
Or broken the oath he had sworn
One step closer to achieving a forgotten lore
That started in the womb of the Babylonian whore
Impregnated by who she let remove her dress
Birthing the one who would spread this mess
As her name is wrongfully glorified
The saints watch and their eyes horrified
What was once banished is once again rising
Showing the identity he spent so long disguising
