gently, hold our heads
gently, hold our heads on high
aimless time, in fear now hide
overthrow the plan
confusion lies in all my words
mad is the soul
we barricade ourselves
in holes of temperament
this is the dawning of a new age
a heart that beats the wrong way
insanity's crescendo

gently, hold our heads
gently, hold our heads on high_

windcolour
second sight
a touch of silence
and the violence of dark
illusion span
the aroma of time
shadowlife
and the scent of nothingness

insanity's crescendo

infinite fall of instinct
order of one spells deceit
infinite lack of trust
order of one obsolete

oh, escaping time
is all we lost ahead?
when it is found
can judgement make amends?

from force-fed impressions let us mortify the mind
each soul to violate
each instinct to be rendered false
torn asunder be the conventional forms and frames
now for the blood of heaven
unlearn
and the cleansing comes

felt a tremor in the pillar of the senses
cursed victim of a distance near
the first dream
the clearest vision

_aimlessly steer towards our night
we belong to thee
oh, dearest bliss, unnerving silence
entangled within_

dimly begotten in clarity found
virginlike tears for impurity bound
beseech he who darkens the stars and the sun
to greet now this vision, an emerald dawn
empty the sun
carve out the wind
insanity's crescendo
tear out the blinded eye

insanity's crescendo

lament of thunder, take comfort in fear
lightning veins in crude exterior
voice the oppression
voice the hypocrisy
lay down the law that made instinct fall

_escape now and revert
the cleansing rebirth
torn asunder be
affect me not, oh darkened vision
insanity's crescendo_

grimly tread the footsteps torn
rebellious stand the seeker tall
the thorn of insanity's hand
take this darkened vision from my sight

nailed to the image of ignorance
each soul to violate
for the blood of heaven
