The church bells ring softly
The dreamers think fondly
A dark veil lowers over the unity
Of a sullen, gray community
Hymns are sung in sorrow
But the sun will rise tomorrow
Will they try again?
They're going to give in
Demons sing a chorus
For the one who went before us
Knowing he will seek revenge
On the one that broke him off henge
The angels gaze in fear
Knowing his goal is so clear
The lost heir of the world
Smiles as his flags unfurl
He'll haunt the man that brought him his demise
More generations in on the surprise
He bares his fangs are the world that brought him down
He won't go out until he's worn his agate crown
The people that once loved him
Now he has them by the chin
No flowers on his grave
No sacrifices gave
He spends all his hours
Toppling world powers
The ones that loved his novelty
Shrink back from his cruelty
After a while the generations found a way
To shield him away from the light of day

But here he comes
What great fun
Watching all the children scream
Look closely you'll see the gleam
There, the eyes
See their prize
And lean in for the kiss
Now he's the king and there's no one to dismiss
The killing sprees
The fantasies
He accomplished in one blow
Make sure all the world will know
Growing unrest
Puts him to the test
Can he handle it alone
No, he can't make it on his own
He claimed his reward
And was taken by the sword

The church bells ring softly
The dreamers think fondly
A dark veil lowers over the unity
Of a sullen, gray community
