The Conqueror Reborn

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Conqueror Reborn Lyrics written by: David Wolfe "Even angels bruise with sorrow...Even God can choke on fear...Even Death’s black scythe grows brittle...when the First Sin reappears...And I.....the son abandoned to prophecy.....rise as the Worm’s unholy seer." [Verse I] On a stage of shattered heavens, I stand painted black-and-white— the mime who saw tomorrow and set fire to the night. The seraphim lament for me, their halos cracked from grief. Even God descends in thunder seeking mercy’s brief relief. But I cast aside His trembling hand, refusing cradle, crown, or creed. A serpent coils within my ribs— the Leviathan’s ancient seed. The bells toll like a prophecy, the Raven croaks my blame— while the Worm, my quiet master, sews my shadow to my shame. [Pre-Chorus] For the pendulum swings lower, cutting truth from all I’ve been. And I breathe the taste of judgment, sweet as sacramental sin. [Chorus] Even angels weep for me— even God cries out my name. Death kneels with open arms, but I reject his gentle claim. For I am not the prodigal returning— I’m the sin they failed to chain. Jonah swallowed, the Leviathan risen, and darkness is my flame. [Verse II] My father drifts toward silence where the City in the Sea takes hold— its spires made of grief and rust, its waters black and cold. Cherubim try to comfort me— their wings shedding molten gold. But I scorch their gifts with fury for the mercy they withhold. Death whispers soft redemption, but it feels much too kind. I was born beneath the serpent’s gaze— the first rebellion redefined. A dream within a dream collapses, falling through my fractured hands, and each grain is Father’s heartbeat lost to unseen, cosmic sands. [Pre-Chorus II] The pit yawns deep beneath me, and the pendulum swings still. The Worm crawls through creation as it bends beneath my will. [Chorus] Even angels weep for me— even God is breaking form. Death pleads, “Child, surrender,” but I reject his final swarm. For I am the covenant corrupted, the heresy reborn. Jonah fallen, Leviathan crowned, and chaos is my dawn. [Bridge] Watch the Worm unmask the actors. Watch the heavens split apart. Watch the throne of God lie trembling as I devour my own heart. The angels tear their wings away— their light dissolving into black. Even Death recoils in horror at the path I won’t turn back. I am the prodigal of ruin, the Christ of broken lore, the seed of Eden’s first betrayal— sin incarnate at its core. [Verse III] When the seventh seal is broken and the trumpets split the sky, I stride through storms of cherub ash and hear creation’s final cry. The rivers clot with angel-blood, the sun bends low with dread. For I—reborn Original Sin— walk among the newly dead. The Leviathan stirs beneath me, its coils merging with my spine. I speak a word of blight and shadow, and the galaxies align. God weeps upon His trembling throne— His tears a holy flood. But I rise taller than His sorrow drenched in poetry and blood. [Breakdown] BEND THE SKY— LET HEAVEN BREAK! I am the storm the angels quake. SPLIT THE THRONE— LET EMPIRES FALL! I am the Worm beneath it all. CHILD OF DUST— REBORN AS SIN! THIS IS WHERE THE END BEGINS!! [Final Chorus] Even angels weep for me— and God Himself can barely stand. Death begs me for forgiveness, but I refuse his outstretched hand. For I am the First Sin rekindled, the plague across the land. Jonah drowned, Leviathan risen— and fate is mine to command. [Outro] The Worm bows low in reverence. The stars flicker out in fear. The angels mourn the child lost— but the monster stands right here. Black and white— my painted face— my new and final form. And all creation learns to tremble before the Original Sin reborn. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Album "Asylum" for download coming soon! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
