ALTAR OF THE KING 10/10/87 We’re supposed to be so wise Through ages we are ‘civilized’ Our actions deny our very words Fight for the voices unheard Eagles ablaze, and crashing down Phoenix in flight, he takes his crown Shapeless hands reach for the sky Only to wither away and die To transcend this medium of bondage It’s for us all, but a minority’s sacrilege Keeps us hanging from edges of a dream To where darkness sheds bluish gleam Before and after, here and now Forgotten oath, forgotten vow He who hath the esoteric power Shall rise up and claim his hour It is at hand, the hourglass is done From the East, the Phoenix faces one The crown, the scepter, the golden ring All will now bow before the Altar of the King (Didn't know where to post this.) |

Thanks Aimee. Ride the lightning is their best album in my humble opinion. |

Keeps us hanging from edges of a dream To where darkness sheds bluish gleam Before and after, here and now Forgotten oath, forgotten vow He who hath the esoteric power Shall rise up and claim his hour It is at hand, the hourglass is done From the East, the Phoenix faces one The crown, the scepter, the golden ring All will now bow before the Altar of the King actually I got a "Rush" reading this... very deep...and if your gonna talk fav Metallica...the "black album" rules... still stalking you..jm When you see through love's illusions, there lies the danger... And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger While the loneliness seems to spring from your life Like a fountain from a pool.

Suits this forum fine!! Strength, imagination, glittering tales.. perfect May the world hug you today, With it's warmth and love. I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart, That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world, Wishing you well and wishing you love...... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |
