Mr. Strange - Antichrist lyrics
[Mr. Strange - Antichrist lyrics]
Exiles wasteland stretches out before me
An unknown world that, until now
I could not see
My shackles lie broken as I defy defeat
The metamorphosis is almost complete
As I embrace what my future may hold
A voice comforts me and takes
Me into it's fold this, is what it says:
You are the animals who invented God
Just to hate yourselves
You curse me and damn me a beast
Because I'm the opposition
To evil superstition, and
Desire was my gift to you
A lust for life and knowledge too
You are the animals who invented God
Just to hate yourselves
You curse me and damn me a beast
Because I'm the opposition
To evil superstition, and
Desire was my gift to you
A lust for life and knowledge too
My friend, now
Don't be ashamed of your humanity
You are free
Take my hand, no harm will come
I offer only truth, unlike some
I know how it is to be spat upon
No one wants me when they're not lonely
No grudge, many brothers are lost
And many sisters too, so I curse that cross
Give me your eyes, see truth of the world
And how you've been fooled by
A thought so cruel
I've been thrown to the dirt
Called lowest of the low
Now I'm here, there's only one way to go
The forgotten one, the abandoned son
Ready to ascend once his brethren come
I've watched a billion sunsets
I'll watch a billion more
My desire is eternal and my lust is pure
You know me by many names
And every one a curse
I'm your brother or your mother
Or your lover or worse
But all are irrelevant, call me what you will
I represent knowledge and power of will
You are the animals who invented God
Just to hate yourselves
You curse me and damn me a beast
Because I'm the opposition
To evil superstition, and
Desire was my gift to you
A lust for life and knowledge too
My friend, now
Don't be ashamed of your humanity
You are free
Denounce his name, my fallen angels
Reduce his book to flame, my fallen angels
Crush his house to dust, my fallen angels
Earth is mother and you are my brothers
Fallen angels
So long ago, we were cast out together
My brothers forgot, but I endure
I won't let go, even if it's forever
Forsake you I'll not, my door is open
Antichrist!
An unknown world that, until now
