Array ( [sid] => 57454 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => War Against The Night [time] => 2004-07-24 22:59:05 [hometext] => I'm not sure if this piece is appropriate on this forum, but I think I'll give it a spin anyway... [bodytext] => 'War Against The Night'

Damn the beast against the light
Damn the blindness he bestows upon the people of this world
Damn the beast, and his night
Cry disgust when you find true light-blind victims of the night

(Then wage war against the darkness!)

Pardon not the preacher, politician, lawyer, teacher
lest he turn from mischief-deciet
But lend pity unto the flock, the trusting, the blind, the meek
Awaken them from their sleep

(And free them from the illusion!)

Confusion, delusion, the doctrines seduce them whole
The stories are as yeast is to bread and steal their soul-decieved
We walk not in the peace of them, but among them-they the wolves
dressed in white they spread their night

(diseased)

Our people are killed for lack of knowledge
The denial of what is real
As they give praise to the lies
The wolf steals, then kills, and bills

So stand now on reality, and hold honesty up high
Build your house upon this rock, and sound your battle cry
The lion roars, and a giant you now must fight
Just pick up the stone of honesty, and let her devour the night

Reality shall be your light!
Honesty shall be your fight!
Wage war against the night!

'War Against The Night'

Damn the beast against the light
Damn the blindness he bestows upon the people of this world
Damn the beast, and his night
Cry disgust when you find true light-blind victims of the night

(Then wage war against the darkness!)

Pardon not the preacher, politician, lawyer, teacher
lest he turn from mischief-deciet
But lend pity unto the flock, the trusting, the blind, the meek
Awaken them from their sleep

(And free them from the illusion!)

Confusion, delusion, the doctrines seduce them whole
The stories are as yeast is to bread and steal their soul-decieved
We walk not in the peace of them, but among them-they the wolves
dressed in white they spread their night

(diseased)

Our people are killed for lack of knowledge
The denial of what is real
As they give praise to the lies
The wolf steals, then kills, and bills

So stand now on reality, and hold honesty up high
Build your house upon this rock, and sound your battle cry
The lion roars, and a giant you now must fight
Just pick up the stone of honesty, and let her devour the night

Reality shall be your light!
Honesty shall be your fight!
Wage war against the night!
War against the night!
