Banished to Shadow Lyrics


Afraid to dream

 What do I believe?

 And at what cost?

 Quickly through crowded streets

 Glances stolen across my shoulder

 This my deepest fear

 What do they know?

 What will they know?

 Grande Inquisidor

 Purveyor of terror

 Instrument of iniquity

 Ecclesiastic sacrifice

 Silence bought with death

 Thought banished to shadow

 Credendum

 My belief

 Credendum

 For reward in the beyond

 Malum in se

 Am I the heretic?

 Malum prohibitum

 I am the heretic

 Persecution of sorcery

 Magicians and witches

 Sons and daughters

 Scenes of sadism

 Blessed by the Innocent

 Absolution for burnt flesh

 What do they know?

 What will they know?

 Mendacity and malevolence

 Wails of generations

 Echoes of the lost

 Punishment above penance

 Certainty perceived

 Of the unknown

 Credendum

 My belief

 Credendum

 For reward in the beyond

 Malum in se

 Am I the heretic?

 Malum prohibitum

 I am the heretic

 The angel of death marks the door
