Description
This song is a progressive piece, and is part of the "Skyless Land" album. The album tells the story of a man named Pharis who is part of a medieval fantasy society. This society thrives on the belief that innocent blood cleanses guilt. So, the members of the society that are deemed innocent by the authorities (the "authorities" being a dictator) are killed regularily. It is Pharis' task to carry out these ceremonial killings.
Lyrics
Oh save us from our sins, reap our brothers’ blood, tear these idols down again, It’s my duty to answer the people, so when they call for redemption I must answer, Blood must be cleansed with more blood, and I will make it my purpose, To cleanse all the land’s people, and make it be clean, We are the saviours of all the world, we cleanse the damned with the blood of the innocent, It is our duty, no man can refrain, no man can hide from his born significance, Harvesters of the Earth, we know it’s what it’s worth, harvesters of the life of, The people of the world, and who can deny us, when we are so pure, When we are appointed by the divine, I am Judas, in these words I find my hope, I am the son of the one who was redeemed, And I will honour his life with mine, Come forth, the time has come, The time has come for Judas to die, in honour of his, Father’s new life, One life sacrificed, I am known by the name Pharis, I am the wielder of the blade, I carry out my, Sad destiny, to spare my brothers from this burden, I am the one with the, Darkest soul, I am the one with the hardest heart, and it weighs so, Heavily on me, won’t you relieve me, there’s still one star that shines for me, It’s you, and I know you hate me, but I still love you, and I know you need, To be away from me just to survive, it’s true, I’m a murderer, I’m a murderer Murderer, murderer, murderer, only way, I’m a murderer, I’m a murderer, I’m a murderer, I’m a murderer, I’m a murderer, I’m a murderer, how could you love a murderer, could you fall in love with, A murderer, a murderer forfeits his life, he no longer has life inside No, no, What if I said it, what if I said no, A murderer has no rights, can he say no, no, For what, for truth, for love, What business have I with these things, no, no, no, None, maybe none, I have nothing, I am nothing, Hear me calling, hear me calling, hear me calling, Hear me calling, hear me calling, Hear me calling, hear me calling, hear me calling, Hear me calling, hear me calling, There is yet one bright star in my life, Beyond the ghost of my knife, I don’t know if it’s real, but I will believe
