Virgin Steele - 6.The Orpheus Taboo

The Orpheus Taboo, from '' The Black Light Bacchanalia '' album 2010 [Music & Lyrics by David DeFeis] [David DeFeis - All Vocals, Keyboards, Bass & Orchestration] [Josh Block - 7 String Guitars & Guitar Solo / Frank Gilchriest - Drums] I have dreams of fallen Gods When darkness screams and light dissolves A Word, a Law a doomed command But not for me, my Will demands... Ghost colored rainbows appear to deceive In an act of defiance I vow to conceive Open your eyes, open alive Burned in the wind your death will be birth Open your eyes open a lie Savior within there is nothing to keep me here... I believe in what I am One part God alone and the Flesh of Immortal Man Spirit healing Nature's cries Torn from Star Winged Worlds and the breath of a Titan's soul... I am falling to the Sun, bleeding hours born of none Far beyond knowledge all thought, sight and speech Blessed with rage and defiance in every heartbeat... Open your eyes open alive Burned in the wind (but) your death will be birth Open your eyes open a lie Save your within there is nothing to keep me here... keep me here... keep me here... keep me here... One Forbidden Thing The One Forbidden Ring One Vow to break... When Lightning laughs and Death is chaste to kiss the Green World awake... Man equals God... The Age Of The Hero Is Mine... God is not apart... Divinity within and without One Forbidden Door The One Forbidden Shore One Path to take... To lift the Veil and taste the Fruit To touch the Bark while Awake I put forth my hand... I take from the Tree F**k you I will not look back... The Age Of The Hero is mine... self create... I have dreams of fallen Gods When Laughter screams... light dissolves... Open your eyes open alive Burned in the wind your death will be birth Open your eyes open a lie Save your great sin there is nothing to keep me here...
