All Hope In Eclipse
Lyricist:Paul Allender, Daniel Davey, Robin Eaglestone, Adrian Eriandssson, Gianpierro Piras, Martin Powell
All hope in eclipse A thousand nights one succored me In the shadow of misanthropy Sat gargoyle-limbed amid my licking flame
A cruel tongue at work in her secret vaults Sent rebellion's embers into revolt The coming of extinction Synched to whimpers of my name
Legion I arose, a flood of in humanity An acid rain to purify the world The asp at Pharaoh's breast The atom split under duress A sniper at the gates of spattered pearl
My heart torn apart, left a rifled grave Save for an unfurled flag of hate To enthrall a mindless zombie race
All hail, all hail, all hail the serpentine's gift All hail, love fails, all hope lies in eclipse
Black bibles I inscribed The words, 'Damnation throughout design' Seemed a bitter truth far better for the lie
For as hope was felled by reason Forlorn became the season And death was swift to swallow on the heels of life
Loered souls, growing cold, tendered easy prey Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com When heaven's flock, a fair game, dropped I bored of war with God with greater thrones to claim
All hail, all hail, all hail the serpentine's gift All hail, love fails, all hope lies in eclipse
There was not a prayer left in this wretched world Then between the past and the ravening dark A sly messiah came In the thick of treaty with obligatory greed She stole the soul hate had sold away
An ancient chill blew down the centuries That night atonement's eyes lit a burning man in me When love lay bleeding and fate's safe feeding From wounds gored 'neath those cherubic wings She of kindred light, gladly sacrificed, eternity just to be with me
As the moon who's silvered fingers play On words and dreams too cursed for day She led my hand to lands I'd not accrued
Where the faun dawn bathed her golden hair And faith renewed, leapt joyous there I praised their worth then planned their conquest too
All hail, all hail, all hail the serpentine's gift All hail, love fails, all hope lies in eclipse All hail, all hail, all hail the libertine's wish All hail, love fails, all hope lies in eclipse And ignorance is truly bliss
