"Revelation Day"
By Michael Knapp
THEY WORSHIP THEIR IDOLS
THE ICONS OF DEATH
CRUSADES OF CRUELTY
A PAST LONG FORGOTTEN

ON KNEES THEY PROCLAIM
FOR 'DEATH IN HIS NAME'
SWOLLEN EYES PRAY THE NIGHT
BY DAWN TO SEE IT'S ALL THE SAME

FOR THEIR...
REVELATION
REVELATION DAY

INNOCENT EYES DESIRE
'LOVE THAT DARE NOT SPEAK'
ONLY DEATH CAN FREE THE SOUL
THE FLESH IS EVIL AND WEAK

THEY LOOK UP TO THE SKY
TO SOME MYTHOLOGICAL DAY
FAIRY TALES ARE FAR BEHIND
AS THEY WALK THE STREETS OF GOLD

IN THEIR...
REVELATION
REVELATION DAY...
