The Vale of Illusions Lyrics


Malicious Spirit!

Crawling Death!

Conjurer of many Faces!

So,

I followed him down through this Vale of Illusion

Where only whispers and promises dwell

Forgive thy Son, O' Father in Heaven

I've been lead astray whilst under his spell

Oh how wrong I've been all along

My facade of righteousness fed the gaping maw of Hell

He said,

"Stained crimson blade in hand, grind their bones and desecrate and rake and reap and rape until thy work is truly done "

And I followed him down, through this Vale of Illusion

Where only his whispers and promises knell

Forgive thy Son,O Father in Heaven

I've been lead astray whilst under his spell

Oh how wrong I've been all along

Among maggots I lay, a blanket of worms for warmth

And though none dared assemble before me,

Tongue honed sharp through riches I claimed

I declared the Kingdom of Heaven

But all that remains is merely a mouthful of Dust

O Beguiling Phantom,

How sly thou art

I have been bested

I beg reprieve

From this unending night
