Fates Warning - Prelude To Ruin Lyrics
Prelude to Ruin" by Fates WarningLook to sunrise man tell me what you seeThe eagle has flown underground abandoned you abandoned meFifty two burning stars are burning up the skyBlazing torch falls to the ocean bottom where black predictions lieHave you faith in scripture visions of kingsReaper of reality your destiny the sisters singVultures scavenge the subconcious of your mindTheir ally is time for you to fall and yield your mind to the cynicThey should be held so high and not looked down uponThey are the root of the countrythe roots so firm and tranquilwhen will the spirits be welcomedlisten, the music is heard againwhen there are lofty high roof topscarved walls and yielding cropsWhen the palace is wild for lustingWhen the forest is wild for huntingExistence of any one thinghas never been but the prelude to ruinWars and temper tantrums are the makeshifts of ignoranceRegrets illuminate too late, Depth beyond sin is fathomedwandering through the devils field sowing his seedGuardian angel guide us through the nightwe compel his long constant fightThe moerea they call your destinythe sisters all of threeClotho she spun the web to livethe thread so tentativeLachesis she measured out the yearsAtropus cuts the thread with her shearsTime time time an imagery linemine not yours nor yours mineThey lead the blind back to the mothers wombtomb of the unborn childComing events cast their shadows before wintery windThe eye of the storm witness the past, the future holds more prelude to ruin
