O Holy, I beckon a folly Of grandeur, delusion Or Illusion of not, I fought To question a purpose A burden, bore alone To awaken the masses To fire and fate. Once earth and twice air And water between Divides, O Divide Depart to the other side Things that are And things that are not I sought to conquer the answer A problem, solitary To enslave the masses To fire or fate. O Fire, below us Between us, besiege us Killing, blood spilling A rage of consequence If only one death Were enough, if only one Life, to explain the Eternal equation, solved. O Fire, cease to burn! Allow us to comprehend, All existence and yours, we Are all but tiny ores of sores Imperfection, to die at our own hands By a fire and fate I contemplate a dismal Perpetual, eventual Consensual, death At any rate.

Of Fire and Fate (The Great Divide)
O Holy, I beckon a folly Of grandeur, delusion Or Illusion of not, I fought To question a purpose A burden, bore alone To awaken the masses To fire and fate. Once earth and twice air And water between Divides, O Divide Depart to the other side Things that are And things that are not I sought to conquer the answer A problem, solitary To enslave the masses To fire or fate. O Fire, below us Between us, besiege us Killing, blood spilling A rage of consequence If only one death Were enough, if only one Life, to explain the Eternal equation, solved. O Fire, cease to burn! Allow us to comprehend, All existence and yours, we Are all but tiny ores of sores Imperfection, to die at our own hands By a fire and fate I contemplate a dismal Perpetual, eventual Consensual, death At any rate.
