Here is the soul of a man Here in this place for the taking Clothed in white, standing in the light Here is the soul of a man
Time to speak with the shaman again Conjure the jester again Black dog in the ruins is howling my name So here is the soul of a man
When the world was virgin Before the coming of men Just a solar witness The beginning of the end From a world of magma To a cold rock face The ascent of madness And a human race
We are strange believers, all of us There are stranger truths, immortal lust We rise from slumber, he calls our name Recalls our number, abide with pain
Reef in a sail at the edge of the world If eternity should fail Waiting in line for the ending of time If eternity should fail
Reef in a sail at the edge of the world If eternity should fail Waiting in line for the ending of time If eternity should fail
To God's illusion, which I recall Was our delusion Before the fall The angels come and the angels go But the lord of light shining below
Eternal darkness beyond the stars We think our wisdom will get that far At the master's table, the table's bare No land of plenty, devastation, despair
Reef in a sail at the edge of the world If eternity should fail Waiting in line for the ending of time If eternity should fail
Reef in a sail at the edge of the world If eternity should fail Waiting in line for the ending of time If eternity should fail
Reef in a sail at the edge of the world If eternity should fail Waiting in line for the ending of time If eternity should fail
Reef in a sail at the edge of the world If eternity should fail Waiting in line for the ending of time If eternity should fail
Reef in a sail at the edge of the world If eternity should fail Waiting in line for the ending of time If eternity should fail
Reef in a sail at the edge of the world If eternity should fail Waiting in line for the ending of time If eternity should fail
Good day, my name is Necropolis I am formed of the dead I am the harvester of the soul metal And I suck the lives from around my bed My own two sons I gave them breath And I filled their living corpses with my bile What humanity I knew I have long forgotten For me eternity is nothing But a short while
