Framing Armageddon lyrics

I must believe that what's a memory now
Was the only way
To know that all of those you love
Were just stripped away
And now, if I'm the one to lead us
Into a brand new day
At peace I must be with the brutal truth
To truly lead the way

Please God give me the strength to lead
It's my charge to keep
Make the sorrow the fuel I need
It's my charge to keep

Please God give me the strength to lead

Centuries pass step by step
Revelations coming threat
Sand of time dark intent
Divise creeds breeds discontent
Prophecy, stars collide
Born is he who turns the tide
Ancient rage, vehemence
Indignation and torment

Dark equation, astrology
Armageddon, the reckoning
Revelation, astral beast
Armageddon, the reckoning

Shallow views, intolerance
Jewish, Muslim, Protestant
The root of man's insolence

We must be swift
Integrating with man
Instating the vision of the Master Plan
We'll placate the humans in need

Their form we have taken
Their tongue we can speak
Plotting and planing, total secrecy
We'll infiltrate and take the lead

Misery unfolding for the rest of time
A world that they created for their vicious crimes

This is the start of
What is meant to be

Instrumental

...at last we will claim
What is rightfully ours
Absolute power, absolute knowledge
All the galaxies and the subjects therin
Will kneel before the human race
Unlimited power
Unlimited knowledge
Mankind will be one
with architect of the universe

At last within my grasp
We are one step closer to cleansing
We claim the universe
Causing galaxies to cower
Unlimited power

Passed down through centuries
The Order lives and feeds upon them
A global fraternity
Philanthropy, tactical deception
In plain sight throughout all time
Contriving human decline
Instilling those who lead
Seizing opportunities

Rise of Setian Evocation
And the Order thrives
So the day arrives of His birth
Rise of Setian Evocation
And the Order lives for the day
Of Man's Coming Curse

Instrumental

As I reflect on the situation
A heavy heart for the task at hand
I witnessed savagery
Hands tied to destiny

The exodus of the chosen
As foreseen in the prophecy
Hiding until it's time
To cloud all the human minds

When they spoke of the invasion
We were chosen from ties that bind
Bloodlines through centuries
Destined to be the ones to lead

The twelve and I, a new high council

Time, thousands of years pass by
But with the ancient rites intact
Man, mankind has multiplied
Spreading worldwide as planned
Kings and their armies preen
Draw lines in the sand
Fight for their so called rights
To God, gold and land

And through the ages we hand them their fate
Marionettes on a string
Phased retribution precise and exact
'Till the birth of The One sets us free

Screaming in agony
Cries fill the air
Eyes once full of hope
Shedding tears of despair
All that they've ever known is dead

Fire reigns from above
Iron birds of dread
All that they ever loved is dead
All that they ever dreamt is dead

Yet there's a glint of hope
If the chosen can survive
In secret the ten thousand hide
East in the mountains
The chosen bide their time

I can see clearly now
A painful vision indeed
An attempt at genocide, 12

A gathering summoned by the Elder
A consequence of what's imminent
A prophecy dark and foreboding
Forces them to face human intent

The chosen seek refuge in the mountains
Reluctantly the loved ones recognize
The sacrifice they must adhere to
The only hope for future Setian life
Like a martyr sacrificed

Await the days of Clouding
Earth Mother's sharing in our pain
Erase the human memory

Instrumental

As I awake I have no memory of this
Who I am, where I'm from, why do I exist?
This strange beauty surrounds me
But where I am confounds me
I see others who appear the same as me
A look of loss in their eyes, adrift aimlessly
What's the point? What does it all mean?
Who am I? Show me a purpose please

Take this sense of wonder
Make it go away
Please tell me I am not alone and lost here

Cause, this is the creed that brings effect
That of which of mankind's besieged
By our plans devised infect
Kings and empires rise and fall
By the Rose and our decree
Of the Elder's prophecy
That rids us of the human threat
And frees the hand of destiny

Fate by our dominion
In their sovereign states
Fall like dominos
Framing mankind's fate

Kill! Assassinate the ones that lead

Look unto the days of warning
A night that the sky is burning
When stars collide
Pure mathematical perfection
Ancient pain feeds resurrection
When stars collide

Forged in flames, sacred fire
Born in eastern sands of guile

Born is he, ten millennia
After the Clouding of man
Sincerest veneration
For he that vindicates the end of man
Sworn are we, ten millennia
After the Clouding of man
