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
