This path lies ahead of you
I can't tell you which choice to make
You laid this path in front of yourself
Self destruction for the truth
The same mistake
You bound your feet so you stumble on
Toward the darkness
Toward the gates
Of a place you've never dreamed of before
But you've seen it in your mind when you were awake
They welcome you home
They beckon you here
Did you hear me calling
Calling you
I've been falling for you
For a thousand years
You thought me an angel
A guardian to ward off the dark
I never believed that you would see beyond
This blackened
This broken, frozen heart
So hear my voice and come toward me
I lost all sense when we were torn apart
But I will always find you wandering
This road
This journey which you will start
I will welcome you home
I will beckon you here
Did you hear me calling
Calling you
I've been falling for you
For a thousand years
How many lives you've lived before this
How many choices you denied to make
How many memories you must have haunted
Tell me how much must my broken mind take
How many wounds that you've succumbed to
How many souls I've seen depart
How close you have grown to the path before you
Never to cross beneath the arch
How many blades to fell the mighty
How close will you get before you fall
How many times must you deny me
And how many more before I burn it all
How many voices do you hold within you
How many screams have you left behind
How many memories will discontinue
Why must you torment this broken mind
I will welcome you home
I beckon you here
Can you hear me calling
Calling you
I've been falling for you for a thousand years
Will you follow me home
I've followed you here
Now you hear me calling
Calling you
I've been falling for you
For a thousand years
Under the Spell of Destruction almost feels like an album uncovered from an alternate timeline. It's a world where the spirit of 80s NWOBHM and 70s Post-Punk continues, and renaissance faires are running all year round.
This saga of 11 journeys evokes images of gothic architecture, medieval tragedy, and the Grim Reaper wearing shades and collecting heads while cruising in his black Pontiac Firebird. liswvlf
