BENEDICTUM LYRICS

1. Uncreation

[Music: Wells & Benedictum / Lyrics: Freeman]

Pain is all around me
And there's a darkness within my soul

Bright skies are black again
Reaching back to the uncreation
The dogs of war unleashed again
Tearing at the flesh of a nation

Uncreate the sun
My eyes
Uncreate the sun
My eyes cannot see

Uncreation
Uncreation

Arrogant and eloquent
Hard to tell the heart's inclination
Self appointed hierophants
Making plans for the next generation

Uncreate the sun
My eyes
Uncreate the sun
My eyes cannot see

Uncreation

[Pete Solo]

Uncreate the sun
My eyes
Uncreate the sun
My eyes cannot see
Uncreate the sun
My eyes
Uncreate the sun
And recreate me

Recreate me
Recreate me

Recreation
Recreation
Recreation

2. Benedictum

[Music: Wells & Benedictum / Lyrics: Freeman]

In nomine!
In nomine!
In nomine!

Arre dime vithicum
Cunu roche vithicum
Carpe diem veritas

The fear in the night
The fear in the night

Oh, I cannot think I can't feel
Oh, don't you know
It's so unreal

In nomine
Benedictum
Disconnected

Cara arre vithicus
Spiritus contra spiritum
Cunu roche veritas

The fear in the night
The fear in the night

Oh, I cannot think I can't feel
And don't you know it's so unreal

In nomine
Benedictum
Disconnected

Benedictus voca me
Save me from the darkest night

[Pete Solo]

In nomine
In nomine
In nomine
Benedictum
Disconnected

3. #4

[Music: Wells & Benedictum / Lyrics: Freeman]

The winter of my discontent just gave way to the sun
Now it is time to assess all the damage I've done
The enemy mine is the self that I've followed too long
Facing the ghosts of the past I see where I was wrong

Fate is knocking at my door
Time to step through number four
Keep searching - What do I see - Seek freedom!
Number 4!

Blinded was I by my ego and pride I resist
But something inside tells me I must go on I persist
Many a battle is fought but the war isn't won
I must keep fighting until all my demons are gone

Fate is knocking at my door
Time to step through number four
Keep searching - What do I see - Seek freedom!
Number 4!

[Pete Solo]

Fate is knocking at my door
Time to step through number four
Keep searching - What do I see - Seek freedom!
Number 4!

[Pete Solo]

4. Misogyny

[Music: Wells & Benedictum / Lyrics: Freeman]

I know who you are
The perfect stranger
With the face that blends in the crowd

And I know how you feel
Your hatred for me
Is dark and deep and real

I'm your backstreet filthy whore
I'm the bitch that you can't ignore
You wish that you could
Snuff me out
With your misogyny

No longer blind, my eyes they see
Beyond the parallel to me
But you won't take my dignity
With your misogyny

You want me on my knees
You think that women are only there to please you
So take me if you will
But my spirit is something you'll never kill

I'm you mother, sister, whore
I'm the bitch that you can't ignore
You wish that you could snuff me out
With your misogyny

[Chris Solo]
[Pete Solo]

No longer blind, my eyes they see
Beyond the parallel to me
But you won't take my dignity
With your misogyny

You will not take my life
You cannot make it right

5. Ashes To Ashes

[Music: Wells & Benedictum / Lyrics: Freeman]

Bow down at the feet of mercy
Crying your dreams in the dark
I know the truth, that's what hurts me
My very own life is tearing me apart

Now when you look at me
You won't like what you see
It's not reality
It's tragedy, tragedy, tragedy

And when you look inside
You won't like what you find
You'll see it's all a lie
It's tragedy, tragedy, tragedy

Ashes to ashes
Dreams are falling to the ground
Ashes to ashes
We all fall down

Kowtow to beast of conformity
Twisting your life in the wind
I know the deoth of depravity
I never win, I never win, I never win

Now when you look at me
You won't like what you see
It's not reality
It's tragedy, tragedy, tragedy

And when you look inside
And when you're coming nigh
You'll see it's all a lie
It's tragedy, tragedy, tragedy

Ashes to ashes
Dreams are falling to the ground
Ashes to ashes
We all fall down

6. Wicca

[Music: Wells & Benedictum / Lyrics: Freeman]

Father, father
They've come to take you away
Accusations fly
And you're life it ends today

And they called it Wicca
From the ancient rites of old
Oh yeah, they call it Wicca
So I'm told

Wicca

Like a scourge upon us
Is the system of lies
Yay or nay either way
The innocent dies

It was only Wicca
From the ancient rites of old
Yeah, they call it Wicca
So I'm told

And they danced with the moon
Kiss the day
And they run with the wolf
Once again!

And they run with the wolf

[Pete Solo]

From the spoken word come the losses untold
Forced to confess lies to save your own soul

In a system driven by lusting and greed
None are safe among us from the terror they seed
Judgments cast upon you based upon lies
In the name of God - Too many have died!

But it was only Wicca
From the ancient rites of old
Yeah, they call it Wicca
So I'm told

Wicca

7. Heaven And Hell

[Butler / Dio / Iommi / Ward]

8. Them

[Music: Wells & Benedictum / Lyrics: Freeman]

They don't even know what time it is
Always trying to get in my business
Who are they what are they anyway
Always twisting 'round the words I say

They were born to follow
We were to lead
They will try to tear me down
But they shall not succeed

All the time they sit just telling lies
Spend their idle time to criticize

So tell them don't want to talk about it
Tell them I'm gonna shout about it
Tell them there's no doubt about it
Tell them
Tell them to bite me!

They don't even know what I'm about
They will never ever figure out
They tell me I can't cuz I'm a chick
I tell them kneel down and suck my dick

They were born to follow
We were to lead
They will try to tear me down
But they shall not succeed

So tell them don't want to talk about it
Tell them I'm gonna shout about it
Tell them there's no doubt about it
Tell them
Tell them to bite me!

[Pete Solo]

[Repeat chorus]

9. Two Steps To The Sun

[Music: Wells & Benedictum / Lyrics: Freeman]

And so the light no longer shines on me shines on me
And darkness all around oppressing me pressing me
No longer can I stand it someone please rescue me
My soul is torn and tattered will you please set me free

Bleeding my heart to the ground
Crushing my soul to the bone
Living and loving and
Pushing and shoving and oh

Two steps to the sun

And so the curtain falls it's finished me finished me
And now the trumpet blares it's calling me calling me
No longer can I stand it someone please me rescue me!

Bleeding my heart to the ground
Crushing my soul to the bone
Living and loving and
Pushing and shoving and oh

Two steps to the sun

Soleil contre libre ame
Soleil contre libre ame
Soleil de midi
Two steps to the sun
Two steps to the sun
Burning burning me

Bleeding my heart to the ground
Crushing my soul to the bone
Living and loving and
Pushing and shoving and oh

Two steps to the sun

Two steps to the sun

10. Valkirie Rising

[Music: Morgan & Benedictum / Lyrics: Freeman]

Take me please
Make me see
Shake the foundation
Quake in consternation

Free my mind
Return in kind
Like a phoenix I shall raise the fallen
Valkyrie come bear me to the sun

And I shall shift the paradigm
Ensure that victory is mine
My paradise is not yet lost
I bear my soul, you bear the cost

Is free
I fight, I believe
In manifestation
Of my spirit's incarnation

And I shall shift the paradigm
Ensure that victory is mine
My paradise is not yet lost
I bear my soul, you pay the cost

Valkyrie bear me away

Valkyrie shall bear my pall
See the mystery in all
Feel the wisdom in my pain
Knowing I shall rise again
[Repeat]

Valkyrie bear me away
Valkyrie bear me away
Valkyrie bear me away

[Craig Solos - Left channel]
[Pete Solos - Right channel]

Ride! Valkyrie!
Ride! Valkyrie!
