Mithras The Caller and the Listener Lyrics

The lowly
Piteous, weak, but by nature abhorrent
The fallen
Throwbacks to a distant age
They clamour
United in aspiration
Grovelling for their redeemer

As prophesised
They turned their voices
Towards the heavens
Using the arts
They called out into the void
"Oh Lord, enlighten our souls"
In nescience
You know not what
Your exaltations have unleashed

It hears
The ovation falls
On open ears
Yet you know not
What your exaltations have unleashed
It hears and it doth come

You know not
What your exaltations have unleashed
It comes
Sing the hosannas and it comes
Sing hosannas and the great host comes

You called for me
And you shall have me
Through your eyes
I shall pierce your souls with fear
And then you shall run

R: The many religions of the world are calling out for a saviour and for their prayers to be answered, but they don't realise that they are attracting something that cares not for their prayers just for the destruction of their world. In the final section of the song the Entity almost announces its intended destruction of the human race.
L: I always pondered the idea of radio waves going out into s___e, and wondered where they'd end up, what ears they could eventually fall on, and this track is based around that idea. Lyrically it's quite scathing about organised religion, in the sense of the abasement before a "godhead" and the meekness inherent therein. Musically it's extremely fast, brutal and almost a throwback to the style of 'Legions...' but much more alien sounding. It's extremely hard to play accurately too - the ending section where all hell breaks loose is quite baffling. There's an amusing bit where I wrongly start a blast on the ride, then quickly move to the hihat, that was a lucky save!
