KOBRA AND THE LOTUS LYRICS

1. Warhorse

Trampling creation, a vision destroyed
Eternal dissident noise
Crippling the earth as it falls in his void
Fearing the hate in his eyes

Show no mercy, leave no pride
Life of ruin, leave them blind
Dark lord, he will betray
Discord, infecting with decay

Here comes the war horse
Built to destroy you
Here comes the war horse
Burn in hell!
Here comes the war horse
We will destroy you
Here comes the war horse
Burn in hell!

Galloping malice, a thunder of fear
Brought by a steed of demise
Capturing, torturing, sucking them in
With gifts of corruption and lies

Show no mercy, hear them cry
As they suffer, they will die
Dark lord, he will betray
Melkor, infecting with decay

Here comes the war horse
Built to destroy you
Here comes the war horse
Burn in hell!
Here comes the war horse
We will destroy you
Here comes the war horse
Burn in hell!

Where do we go from here?
War horse is getting near
How do we get away?
This is the end of days

Where do we go from here?
War horse is getting near
How do we get away?
War horse has come to slay!

War horse!
War horse! War horse! War horse! War horse!

Here comes the war horse
Built to destroy you
Here comes the war horse
Burn in hell!
Here comes the war horse
We will destroy you
Here comes the war horse
Burn in hell!

2. I Am, I Am

Come a little closer, let me tell you who I am
I’m the bleeding bullet hole infecting all the land
Killing off humanity, a craving mouth for war
Burning skies I leave behind for generations more

I am devastation
I am retribution
I am delivering hell
You tell me why

I am, I am all that’s inside you
I am, I am evil burning through
I am, I am the seed of your destruction
Self fulfilling prophecy

Look into the glass and tell me what do you see
Is is your reflection or the devil running free
You spread temptation with your pestilence greed
Self-afflicting genocide and endless misery

I am devolution
I am execution
I am condemning us all
You tell me why

I am, I am all that’s inside you
I am, I am evil burning through
I am, I am the seed of your destruction
Self fulfilling prophecy

I am the plague of suffering
I am the bane
You are the same

I am, I am all that’s inside you
I am, I am evil burning through
I am, I am the seed of your destruction
Self fulfilling prophecy

I am, I am
I am, I am
I am, I am
Self fulfilling prophecy!

3. Heartbeat

One night I heard the forest calling out my name
Whispers of stolen magic from the darkness came
Walking in the rain
Sacred grains of dust
Through the moonlit valley
Warm winds I trust

I hear the calling of a heartbeat
Aching from what we have done to this earth
Silence a symphony of beauty
Taking its life, sacrificed for rebirth

Carelessly light the match and watch the future burn
And now I see we've made a path of no return
Songs of ancient words
Chanting from the earth
Echoes to remind me
Where I came from

I hear the calling of a heartbeat
Aching from what we have done to this earth
Silence a symphony of beauty
Taking its life, sacrificed for rebirth

I hear the calling of a heartbeat
Aching from what we have done to this earth
Silence a symphony of beauty
Taking its life, sacrificed for rebirth

I hear the calling of a heartbeat
What have we done to this earth?
Silence, a symphony of beauty
Life sacrificed for rebirth

4. Hold On

Hello! My friend! I can't wait to see you again
I've counted the seconds, and minutes, hours
Wondering if you're thinking the same

And the moment comes
As the seasons change
And nobody knows
What are we waiting for?!

Hold on my love
Hold on before it's taken away
So long my love
So long to these pale blue days

So close, I can feel it, can you taste it?
I'm here, there, everywhere the light fills your holes
I breath just to know you're alive

And the moment comes
As the seasons change
Still nobody knows
What are we waiting for?!

Hold on my love
Hold on before it's taken away
So long my love
So long to these pale blue days

Hold on my love
Hold on before it's taken away
So long my love
So long to these pale blue days

Take me back so I may crawl into your heart deep within
Take me back to your home where our life can begin
Take me back to where these pale days are no longer blue
I've hidden your word so I never may sin against you
I never may sin against you

What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?

Hold on my love
Hold on before it's taken away
So long my love
So long to these pale blue days

Hold on my love
Hold on before it's taken away
So long my love
So long to these pale blue days

5. High Priestess

I seek enlightenment on lotus black and white
Tell me of my destiny while I am still alive
Oh goddess of the dead, what's carved upon your stone?
Of existence and denial, in a veil of the unknown

All seeking rider
Your journey now begins
High priestess
Show me what you see
High priestess
Who I am and what I'll be
High priestess
Secrets that you hide
High priestess
Come to me

High priestess is the justice
High priestess is the knife
That leaves the wicked bleeding
Yet she has spared my life
What's behind your curtain
Saviour of the damned
Reveal to me this ecstacy
I honour your command

All seeking rider
Your journey's reached the end
High priestess
Show me what you see
High priestess
Who I am and what I'll be
High priestess
Secrets that you hide
High priestess
Come to me

She brings the sun
When the black moon rises
As I hear her call
Fills me with light
And the will to guide us
As I take her throne

Come to me
Come to me

High priestess
You will worship me
High priestess
I was always meant to be
High priestess
Secrets are all mine
High priestess
Bow to me

6. Soldier

Fear, fear in his eyes
Knowing the end has come
And there's no where to run

Flashing before him
A lifetime in seconds
His brothers lay dead on the ground

Holding his destiny inside my hands
With my gun I am crushing his dreams
And I see blood

In my eyes (in my eyes!)
I will die a benevolent soldier
Take my life oh this gift of mine
In my eyes (in my eyes!)
I will fall a benevolent soldier
My demise behind enemy lines

I, I walk away
Is there a consequence
For this decision I've made?

Feeling a sting in my back
I fall questioning
What my compassion has done

I put my destiny inside his hands
It's kill or be killed with my honour
And I see blood

In my eyes (in my eyes!)
I will die a benevolent soldier
Take my life oh this gift of mine
In my eyes (in my eyes!)
I will fall a benevolent soldier
My demise behind enemy lines
Whoaaaa

In my eyes (in my eyes!)
I died a benevolent soldier
Take my life oh this gift of mine
In my eyes (in my eyes!)
I fell a benevolent soldier
My demise behind enemy lines
Take my life!

7. Battle Of Wrath

Shoulder to shoulder stand upon this tortured ground
Breathing the cold, withered ashes with borrowed breath
My human will is bound to broken souls I've found
Pain of despair only relents to death

Oh I will find a way
To live another day

Whoa
Pray for the sunrise
Battle of souls burn in the sky
Whoa
Angel of mercy
Breathe in the gloom that clouds my eyes

The steel may pierce my arm, the battle rages on
Through my veins rushes insidious conflict
If I survive my fate an emptiness awaits
Leading me hollow and tempted by death

Oh I will find a way
To live another day

Whoa
Pray for the sunrise
Battle of souls burn in the sky
Whoa
Angel of mercy
Breathe in the gloom that clouds my eyes

Shoulder to shoulder stand upon this tortured ground
My human will is bound to broken souls I've found

Marching! Your feet are marching
You fall!
Marching! Your feet are marching
You fall!
Marching! Your feet are marching
You fall!
Marching! Your feet are marching
You fall!

I feel it
It's coming
I'm in the final hour!

Oh I will find a way!
To live another day!

Whoa
Pray for the sunrise
Battle of souls burn in the sky
Whoa
Angel of mercy
Breathe in the gloom that clouds my eyes

Whoa
Pray for the sunrise
Whoa
Angel of mercy
Whoa

8. Visionary

Commence the kingdom in the valley where she lay
Dreaming an arising prophet, the blessed they would say
Sacred the mountain where they bathed her in perfume
Fair was the body, placed the lotus in her womb

I will reach the highest heaven
This is my last birth
Cross the ocean of existence
Foremost of the world

Jealous of his meditation
Seduction claimed by death
Witnessing his worthiness, he pointed down
Earth shook its head
Shook its head!

I will reach the highest heaven
This is my last birth
Cross the ocean of existence
Foremost of the world

Mother! Can you see her pure intention?
Visionary of the world
Mother! Can you see her pure intention?
Visionary, to dare this child of the earth
Child of the earth!

I will reach the highest heaven
This is my last birth
Cross the ocean of existence
Foremost of the world

Child of the earth

9. Willow

Merciless winter with spears of frozen rain
Crystals of mourning for those to come and those who've came
Slipping through whirlwinds of vision quests of loss
They're all but orphans of the peace within the frost

Merciless winter
Taking the givers
Knees at the foot of the willow
Under one thousand eyes that shine for every soul
Kneeling at the foot of the willow
Leaves of fallen ones
Vowed forever weeping

Oh arctic sapphire with painted shields of rust
Solstice of life's warriors in gales of diamond dust
Heart of horizon, veins of crystal gloss
They're still but orphans of the peace within the frost

Merciless winter
Why do you linger?
Kneel at the foot of the willow
Under one thousand eyes that shine for every soul
Kneeling at the foot of the willow
Leaves of fallen ones
Vowed forever weeping

Leaves! Of! Virtue!
Leaves! Of! Virtue!

Holy leaves of fallen angels
Vowed eternal
Weeping willow

Kneel at the riot of the willow
Under one thousand eyes that shine for every soul
Kneeling at the foot of the willow
Leaves of fallen ones
Vowed forever weeping

10. Lost In The Shadows

I've been searching for answers in the river of my soul
Aimlessly seeking the holy who will take me from this cold

Timeless night
I am lost and have no where to go
Bring me sight
So I may find my home

As I kneel my heart in the field of frozen memories
Looking up I am asking to stop the ground crumbling from my feet

Timeless night
I am lost and have no where to go
Bring me sight
So I may find my home

Shine for me now sweet cosmic eyes
I am singing to you from the shadows
I feel lost in this dark without your light
Oh cosmic eyes! Sing to me from the skies!
And guide my way!
Guide my way

Gone with my sweet surrender
Shining bright, all knowing eyes
I'll find my way back home!

Shine for me now sweet cosmic eyes
I am singing to you from the shadows
I feel lost in this dark without your light
Oh cosmic eyes! Sing to me from the skies!
And guide my way!

Whoa!!
I am lost in the shadows, guide my way
