Provocations

I saw a demon rise
I saw the martyr carry affliction
Enter the great demise
The burden in the grievous conflict

The word that could provoke
The word that rallied all the people
Enter the dogs of war
The first of many great deceptions

As we've surmised there's nothing
That could not revive the hosts of Riders
So realize there's nothing
To stop the old lies, they'll reach the surface

For all the world to see
And all the world to hear
There's nothing to stop
Calamities that bring the end
For all the world to know
And all the lambs ask"why"?
Did all our hopes come crashing down
Through provocations

The raven's fatal knock"Nevermore", the forbidden mantra
The hidden mystery
At the heart of vicious battles

Enter the herald of great tribulation
Who has welcomed transcendence through burden
In the sky, falls the flame without honor
In the sea, lies the tomb of the dead

As we've surmised there's nothing
That could not revive the hosts of Riders
So realize there's nothing
To stop the old lies, they'll reach the surface

For all the world to see
And all the world to hear
There's nothing to stop
Calamities that bring the end
For all the world to know
And all the lambs ask"why"?
Did all our hopes come crashing down
Through provocations

Don't try to cross me now for all is gone
The Riders bear wounds of a weighted world
Don't try to cross me now for all is lost
The stars fall on the hope of the passion's high

The end of the world renews a falling earth
From the flashpoint's light of original sin
The fall of the wicked renews the young
To steward the land in the way it should
