Soldiers of Obscurity Lyrics


Look behind there’s nothing to find

I can see only dark, no more light

Stone warrior waits here at night

Patiently, he watches the time

Did I wait too long, or did I get it right?

I can’t be a soldier, I’m just a man out of time

A sword is worn down to a knife

Dulled the blade on either side

Snuffed the flame, doused the light

But all the winds of time were on my side

And the count is off but still I lead…

My left hand trembles

When the right could show such terrible things

But they’re holding me down

Pointing back to the pillars of obscurity

There’s a heart inside the stone

As the chisel strikes and the hammer swings

A horrible sound

As the clock tick ticks and the bell tower sings

I’m a man out of time

In the land of the blind

A man out of time

Lost in the thralls of night

All I can see now

Dark shadows loom that the giants cast

I’m sharing my footprints

Though I know this step could be my last

Architects and sculptors,

I’m the orphan child you left behind

So cast me to the pillars

Just to keep me alive

Sculpt me to stone

In memoriam

Slowly it goes

Until the Bell Tower Tolls

I’m a man out of time

In the land of the blind

A man out of time

In the land of the blind

Armed to teeth

We stand as Soldiers of Obscurity

Soldiers of inerrancy
