Lyrics Arch Matheos - Stained Glass Sky

Morning desert sun horizon
Rise above the sands of time
Come journey to arcana
Travel starry spheres in trine
Master they shall fear thee
Martyr they endear thee
Father it was written, so it shall be
Mother yield the pure seed
Child it's your destiny so
Hallowed by thy name
Under stained glass sky
A crown of thorns it intertwines
The mortal and divine together Under stained glass sky
Sands of the dunes and dust of the bones
Have swallowed them and all left behind
Gods of the fire fall from the sky
On a wing and a prayer
Master they shall fear thee
Martyr they endear thee
Father it was written, so it shall be
Mother yield the pure seed
Child it's your destiny so
Hallowed be thy name
Under stained glass sky
A wailing wall of tears divides
The trinity of terror spawning
Under stained glass sky
Under stained glass sky, I don’t want to die
I’ve fallen from the sky
I know what I am in their eyes
Truths are only lies told over and over again
Pray tell my hands are tied
An infidel here lies
Rise the crimson tide of a dead sea
Where nothing can ever survive
She rose from the crimson tide
The maiden dead waters baptized
Tears rain from her eyes
Drowning the depths of her soul
Standing with her maker, giver and the taker
Siren from the shore she echoes the verses
And curses them all
Living, dying, bleeding, crying
Elvin and serpentine under a midnight sun
Shadows are dancing, spirits romancing
The cautious embrace of a quiet refrain
Dreaming, praying, trusting, believing
The truth of her testament witness to all that remains
Cloaked in silence, shrouds of violence
A radical harem has twisted her tongue
Dream the last dream, dance the last dance, breathe the last breath
A penance for what she dare believeAs the tempest rends there's a maiden that mends
An interwoven tapestry
Shreds of truth in the sacred stratum
Embroidered with iniquities
By any measure heirloom treasure
Threads of doubt kingdoms fell
This lady she knows all that glitters isn't gold
Her stairway to heaven is a matrix through hell
Conspiring eyes through a veil of lies
A whirling dervish dances in
The here and the after rage for the master
It was written so it shall be
As they sleep the devil’s kitchen
Prepares a feast of mis-beliefs
The collective screams of tortured souls
Brought Satan to his knees
Master they shall fear thee
Martyr they endear thee
Father it was written, so it shall be
Mother yields the pure seed
Child it's your destiny so
Hallowed be thy name
Under stained glass sky
A crown of thorns it intertwines
The mortal and divine together
Under stained glass sky
Round and round and up and down the dervish goes
Where his tempest rends the prophets have foretold
Maiden who knows all that glitters isn't gold
Sacrificial lamb, hallowed be thy name
Under ashen sky
Continents they can't divide
The interwoven tapestry
The fabric of our lives
