Three & Seven

The pilgrimage begins<br/> The coming of death winds<br/> Crossing the bridge in pairs<br/> <br/> The seer locked inside<br/> Yellow and white eyes<br/> Awaiting the final call<br/> <br/> Following the path<br/> The ocean built with wrath<br/> Not knowing the sun was gone<br/> <br/> The moon enters it's house<br/> The tide opens it's mouth<br/> Seas of snakes and souls<br/> <br/> Lured into the sea<br/> Voices from beneath<br/> He appears behind the door<br/> <br/> Thousands gather round<br/> To hear the headless hound<br/> Announcing that he has come<br/> <br/> Dreams of the black hole eye<br/> Blinding us all<br/> As the bell rings twice<br/> Darkness burns the shore

In the churchyard where he lay<br/> Lights a moonbeam on his face<br/> No words spoken in the dark<br/> Aging widow knits and rocks<br/> <br/> Seeping from a wet cold sun<br/> Spoons are bending one by one<br/> Graves forgotten far too soon<br/> Names are washed into the ruin<br/> <br/> Six of them<br/> Perched upon the tower<br/> Waiting for<br/> Bells of every hour<br/> Ringing for<br/> One thousand years<br/> Watching as<br/> The coffins disappear<br/> <br/> All ways lead to the same room<br/> <br/> Galleries of the dead<br/> Awaiting ahead<br/> With all doors open<br/> <br/> Through underground tunnels<br/> His hands holding his head<br/> Erasing footsteps<br/> <br/> Drying all the holy water<br/> Using just its fingertips<br/> Shining there in a pitch black church<br/> Rose of the apocalypse<br/> <br/> In the courtyard Waits the hearse<br/> Adorning the ancestral curse<br/> Thirty-seven signs of death<br/> The one who sleeps won't be at rest

Hooded figures<br/> Wandering<br/> Missing features<br/> Shameful names<br/> <br/> Draped in silk red gowns<br/> Hiding in the crowd<br/> <br/> Overseers<br/> In the rain<br/> Withered preachers<br/> <br/> Eyes inside the wall<br/> Time begins to stall<br/> Eyes inside the wall<br/> Echoes in the hall<br/> <br/> Through the passageways<br/> Of all different shades<br/> The last one is red<br/> <br/> Who will ring the bell at three?<br/> Cherubim or Seraphim<br/> Who will ring the bell at three?<br/> <br/> Long black fingers pointing to the <br/> Sign

Heartfelt chills, waiting for more thrills<br/> Crooked smiles on the deadly line<br/> <br/> Take us all, wheel of fear, free us all<br/> <br/> Darkness falls, shadows fill the moon<br/> Run and crawl, he will find us soon<br/> <br/> Take us all, wheel of fear, free us all<br/> <br/> Helpless screams are silenced as the water rushes down<br/> Hell gate's dream to please our father who left us to drown<br/> <br/> Dreamland in flames, lost all faith<br/> Waves of fire echoed in the air<br/> <br/> Take us all, wheel of fear, free us all

Paint all of the walls<br/> In the colors of fire<br/> For each Picture left with its eyes showing<br/> Brings the chanting of the funeral choir<br/> The marks appearing upon her cracked face<br/> Show the presence of another<br/> Fingers reaching out from the darkness<br/> As the portrait sees itself becoming clearer<br/> <br/> Mirror image<br/> Of that which is<br/> God in the eyes<br/> Of the child<br/> Halls of madness<br/> Calling out<br/> <br/> Three ropes hanging<br/> From the stairwell<br/> One and the same<br/> Trapped in between<br/> Two opposite worlds<br/> Through red curtains<br/> The left arm trembles<br/> So begins the crossover

Standing with its back turned<br/> Red eyes burn through the sun<br/> Death upon a pale horse<br/> Three and seven join one<br/> <br/> Seven chandeliers<br/> Made of martyr tears<br/> Words upon the seal<br/> Soon to be revealed<br/> <br/> The Virgin carrying<br/> The child, blackened face<br/> And withered smile<br/> The souls of martyrs<br/> Receive a white gown and<br/> Enter the furnace without a <br/> Sound<br/> <br/> The sky retreats, the moon<br/> Shreds blood, the sun joins<br/> The stars in the flood<br/> <br/> Now our father has come<br/> Through the break of the dawn<br/> Three and seven join none<br/> <br/> Twenty four old men<br/> One for every hour<br/> Seven broken seals<br/> Now have become real

She stands twelve feet above the flood<br/> She stares<br/> Alone<br/> Across the water<br/> <br/> The loneliness grows and slowly<br/> Fills her frozen body<br/> Sliding downwards<br/> <br/> One by one her senses die<br/> The memories fade<br/> And leave her eyes<br/> Still seeing worlds that never were<br/> And one by one the bright birds leave her...<br/> <br/> Starting at the violent sound<br/> She tries to turn<br/> But final<br/> Noiseless<br/> Slips and strikes her soft dark head<br/> The water bows<br/> Receives her<br/> And drowns her at its ease...<br/> <br/> I would have left the world all bleeding<br/> Could I only help you love<br/> The fleeting shapes<br/> So many years ago<br/> So young and beautiful and brave<br/> <br/> Everything was true<br/> It couldn't be a story...<br/> I wish it was all true<br/> I wish it couldn't be a story<br/> <br/> The words all left me<br/> Lifeless<br/> Hoping<br/> Breathing like the drowning man<br/> <br/> Oh Fucshia!<br/> You leave me<br/> Breathing like the drowning man<br/> Breathing like the drowning man
