RULER............(my American Pie epic) apocalyptic
The Sounds of Saturn
Play this vid first for 20 seconds or so
then hit this vid
and play together
for best effect. Wow
Gregorian Chant...
Ruler
Dry leaves sang
And birds came tumbling down
And somewhere a crowd paid
To see the tears of a clown.
To spite the time
A clock refused to chime the hour
But beat as a broken heart
There in the tower.
Somewhere an angel frowned a saddened frown
And rain fell up instead of falling down
Seasons reversed and snow fell in July
And jolly folk that laughed began to cry.
A mother's love turned into hostility
A baby's wail became a silent plea
The world turned upside down and drowned itself
And darkness descended down when sunshine left.
Flowers burst into sprays of weeds and thorns
As night destroyed the coming of the morn
People sang with weapons in their hands
And with deadened eyes, disposed their fellow man.
No laughter rang from happy lips again
As everyone embraced the reign of sin
No mother's son returned from gore of war
And in the land there was no peace....no more.
The love of life went back from whence it came
And minds of men went empty and insane
Machines of death rolled, grinding godless gears
And silenced all the children's hopeful tears.
Oceans full of blood gave forth no life
No father loved his children nor man, his wife
But all, they ran to hillside and to cave
To save themselves but no help came to save.
No air, no food, no water left to drink
No love to feel and no thoughts left to think
No hope to calm the fears that rampant ran
And none to save the rotten race of man.
The bombs, they burst in clouds of man made glory
But no song writer lived to tell the story
The puppets ran the world with master's strings
And won it all but then lost everything.
Kings in crowns and palaces of gold
Exchanged these things and more things for their souls
And never once believed that it would end
But be renewed in splendor once again.
They sacrificed their useless little sheep
And took away their minds there in their sleep
They gave away the precious gifts they held
In secret, rang, but no one heard the bell.
The man who came from Heaven ran away
He came to Earth but said He couldn't stay
He "saved" a few but left them to their fates
And hid Himself behind those pearly gates.
And who am I to tell these things to you?
The only one who tells you what is true!
The Shining One who lives forever more
Is standing even now outside your door.
What happened to the world of yesterday?
What happened to the grace that came your way?
What happened to the love and gaiety?
Hell has come to earth....because of me.
You see, I changed the fate of all mankind
I took that god's creation and made it mine
I killed the unborn dreams that men all shared
The hope they gave to me...as if I cared.
I reign this Earth and it is mine to kill
No "Savior" came and no "savior" ever will
Take back from me the world on which I rule
And anyone who believes that is a fool!
For I am Lucifer, Bright and Morning Star
And I am King of all, both near and far
These kings of men have floundered in their tasks
And failed me in the tiny things I asked.
And even now, they burn in flame and sea
And never will they share a throne with me
But what is that to me, the King of all?
Never again I swear, will I be made to fall.
At Heaven's gate, they watch in humbled fear
To see destruction's glory I wreak here
My fires ascend to Paradise's door
No Holy Ones will visit anymore.
The Earth is mine to do with as I see fit
And I will crush it down and trample it
No man shall ever dare to rebuke Me
In blindness do they crawl, no more to see.
Six thousand years I have awaited now
So patiently to reign and show "Him" how
How I am God and He is just a lamb
And He will never be the Lion I Am.
But wait! What is that light that fills my eyes?
My army melts, their mouths screaming "You lied!"
That white horse running that should have been my own
And on it's back, that Man, that Holy One!
I will not bow! I will not bow! I will not bend!
To You who died on that cross for their sin
I will not bow before You, Son of Man
I'm not one of your servants made of sand.
I will not break, my pride is much too strong
And though I bow, I will not bow for long
And though in chains of darkness do I sit
I will not forever wait inside this pit.
I will not. I will not! I will not beg
For mercy from You. I will drain the dregs
Of humankind there at that Age's end
And I will be their Ruler once again.
Revelations 20:2-7
