Song lyrics

Gently, hold our heads,
Gently, hold our heads on high.

Aimless time, in fear now hide,
Overthrow the plan.
Confusion lies in all my words,
Mad is the soul.

We barricade ourselves in holes of temperament,
This is the dawning of a new age.
A heart that beats the wrong way,
Insanity's crescendo...

Gently, hold our heads,
Gently, hold our heads on high...

Windcolor, second sight,
A touch of silence, the violence of dark.
Illusion span, the aroma of time,
Shadowlife, the scent of nothingness.

Insanity's crescendo!

Infinite fall of instinct,
Order of one spells deceit.
Infinite lack of trust,
Order of one obsolete.

Oh, escaping time is all we lost ahead.

When it's found, can judgment make amends?


From force-fed impressions let us mortify the mind,
Each soul to violate, each instinct to be rendered false!
Torn asunder be the conventional forms and frames,
Now for the blood of heaven unlearn.
...And the cleansing comes.

Felt a tremor in the pillars of the senses,
Cursed victim of a distance near.
The first dream, the clearest vision.

Aimlessly steer towards our night,
We belong to thee.
Oh, dearest bliss, unnerving silence,
Entangled within.

Dimly begotten, in clarity found,
Virgin-like tears for impurity bound.
Search he, who darken the stars and the sky,
Greet now this vision an emerald dawn.

Empty the Sun, carve out the wind,
Insanity's crescendo, tear out the blinded eye!

Insanity's crescendo!

Lament of thunder, take comfort in fear,
Lightning veins in crude exterior.
Voice the oppression, voice the hypocrisy,
Lay down the law that made instinct fall.

Escape now and revert the cleansing rebirth,
Torn asunder be.
Affect me not on darkened vision,
Insanity's crescendo.

Grimly threat, the footstep's torn,
Rebellic stand, the seeker tall.
Turn of insanity's hand,
Take this darkened vision from my sight!

Nailed to the image of ignorance,
Each soul to violate
For the blood of heaven!
