The Saviour Ascends

from ANTHEIST by Jon Epworth

/

lyrics

the saviour ascends!
in every direction
beyond the world of men
beyond comprehension

fear of the perils of this mortal earth alone
was not enough make us tame
a frenzy forged out of fear of the unknown
was just the thing to make us lame
now it's eyes to the sky
for a glimpse of the divine
we can pray for guidance
'til we're out of our minds
we cannot reconcile the chasm in between
what we've been told and what we've seen

the saviour ascends!
in every direction
beyond the world of men
beyond comprehension

just watch him ascend!

holy pederast - unbridled lechery
confessed unto thyself absolved in pageantry
burn the women and tear the men apart
free will alone cannot save a severed heart
recant your sins
and recant your idle whims
still might not save you
from the flaying of your skin
once a man of god and now a god himself
his will be done by your own hand
