The Orpheus Taboo - Virgin Steele

I have dreams of fallen gods

Where darkness screams

And light dissolves

A word, a law, a doomed command

But not from me, my will demands…

Ghost colored rainbows appear to deceive

In an act of defiance I vow to conceive

Open your eyes, open alive

Burned in the wind your death will be birth

Open your eyes open a lie

Savior within there is nothing to keep me here…

I believe in what I am

One part god alone and the flesh of immortal man

Spirit healing nature’s cries

Torn from star winged worlds

And the breath of a titan’s soul…

I am falling to the sun

Bleeding hours born of none

Far beyond knowledge all thought, sight and speech

Blessed with rage and defiance in every heartbreak…

Open your eyes open alive

Burned in the wind (but) your death will be birth

Open your eyes open a lie

Save your within there is nothing to keep me here…

Keep me here… Keep me here… Keep me here…

One forbidden thing

The one forbidden ring

One vow to break…

When lightning laughs and death is chaste

To kiss the green world awake…

Man equals god… The age of the hero is mine…

God is not apart…

Divinity within and without

One forbidden door

The one forbidden shore

One path to take…

To lift the veil and taste the fruit

To touch the bark while awake

I put forth my hand… I take from the tree

Fuck you I will not look back…

The age of the hero is mine… Self create…

I have dreams of fallen gods

When laughter screams… Light dissolves…

Open your eyes open alive

Burned in the wind your death will be birth

Open your eyes open a lie

Save your great sin

There is nothing to keep me here…

The age of the hero is mine…
