Revelator 2 : Revelator vs. Lies

by Revelator

/
1.
From the mouths of babes come the words That will make or break my world A flag unfurled And the sunlight slanting through the tree. A dragonfly on a rock Of a distant flowing stream A lucid dream And everything seems out of touch to me. As I hold on to the light of the stars in the night The darkness takes hold of me And I rip and I tear And all that was right is left asunder Beneath me In the mind of babes, In the heart of destroyers, I’ll search for the vein As the brightness takes me over I’ll die to the world In a blood-drenched inferno As the world falters around me And the darkness begets itself. As I hold on to the light of the stars in the night The darkness takes hold of me And I rip and I tear And all that was right is left asunder Beneath me

Taken Aback 03:49
As she strode across the floor The steam and sex rose like fog in the night She walked right up to me And lifted my head to look her in the eye she said: Have you Met my savior He created these milky thighs If you accept him he'll forgive you For not looking me in the eyes I was taken aback By the hypocrisy Of this angel in demon tights She sucked me in with The lust and the sin While her intentions were pure and white Have you Met my savior He created this perfect ass If you accept him Then I'll fuck you And if you won't then I'll have to pass I was taken aback By the hypocrisy Of this demon between my thighs She sucked me in with The lust and the sin While her intentions were pure and white And I will never forgive her For what she did to me that night She dragged me in to puritanical rules That were built on pain and lies I was taken aback By the hypocrisy Of this angel in demon tights She sucked me in with The lust and the sin While her intentions were pure and white I was taken aback By the hypocrisy Of this demon between my thighs She sucked me in with The lust and the sin While her intentions were pure and white

Flummöxed 03:15
Here we go again, we're not angry but we're fighting Your once and future king's six feet under you I can see it in your eyes, your faith in him is fading You're coming to the side of reason now Here we go again, you stare at me in silence You weren't prepared for this, where's your Father now In the darkness and the rain you're left alone with violence No one to soothe your pain, where's your savior now Here we go again, the sadness builds inside you There's no one overhead, looking out for you Your world comes tumbling down as you weep in silence The walls are closing in and your world is too Here we go again, there's light here on the other side Your knowledge and your pain can save you too Forget about the lies they've fed you all your life The light of happiness is inside of you Here we go again, another laughing Jesus Has found the truth within and spurned all of you Seeing through the lies, you used to build your empire Will lead to your demise, as we uphold Truth Here we go again, the cycle's never ending Here we go again, blindness can't see Truth...

On Deaf Ears 04:09
Everything I say falls on deaf ears The love we used to have just disappears Where we go from here I do not know Just look into the dark, and here we go. Another night, Another show What comes next, I'll never know Another night, Though dark and cold Is all that's left of our growing old. I've said it all before, with distant tears And where we end up next, has been the same for years I'll look into your eyes and stay the flow We fall onto the floor, and here we go. Another night, Another show What comes next, I'll never know Another night, Though dark and cold Is all that's left of our growing old. Another fight, And we make up We bite and claw and we're out of luck While in the moment it all disappears When it's over we're left with tears Everything I say falls on deaf ears The love we used to have just disappears Where we go from here I do not know Just look into the dark, and here we go. Another night, Another show What comes next, I'll never know Another night, Though dark and cold Is all that's left of our growing old.

Lost 04:18
Years are gone With memories all tracing back to Thoughts and I Have no way of knowing what to do And the rhythm of the boots are marching on Marching as the rain comes down on me Nevermind who I am And Nevermind who you are I've lost the times and lives And now I'm gone... Reaching out To the thoughts I've had before Never grasped The fleeting nature of it all And the days keep moving on Wherever I have been And the darkness of the past tearing me apart Nevermind who I am And Nevermind where you are I've lost the times and lives And now I'm gone... I'm lost in the past Still looking for the door I've lost the times and lives Now I'm looking for some more I'm grounded in the abyss In the darkness of futility What comes before this Where the fuck are we.... Nevermind who I am And Nevermind where you are I've lost the times and lives And now I'm gone... I'm lost in the past Still looking for the door I've lost the times and lives Now I'm looking for some more Nevermind who I am And Nevermind who you are I've lost the times and lives And now I'm gone...

From childhood's hour I have not been On a path that You think is Comforting We walked in The moonlight And every chance you had You whispered Into Me and told me life is grand Oh, but it was all a lie In the end Even you stopped walking with me you stopped playing pretend. The lies that you told to me Still sting to this day And you won't walk with me You only walk away But what did I expect? It certainly wasn't your love And it certainly wasn't compassion In my head. There never was a seed for the feelings that I felt Never was a seed for the pain that took me over... Oh,oh Where did you go? Oh, oh Where'd the pain come from And where did I come from And where did you come from And why don't we belong And where did we come from Oh, where'd this pain come from Yeh, where'd this pain come from Where'd it go

You Go 03:32
I don't know where you are when you go... I don't know where you are when you go... You've taken my heart and torn it apart And you go Another night I'll spend it alone Cuz I don't know where you are when you go... No I don't know where you are when you go... Night after night you lay next to me But your heart isn't there I hold it inside, it just isn't right I long for your touch and the smell of your hair And I don't know where you are when you go... I don't know where you are when you go... I don't know where you are when you go... I don't know where you are when you go... I don't know where you are when you go... I don't know where you are when you go...

The last scion lay in slumber Unaware it seems That scenarios unfolding Threatened all humanity A pillar of flame beholden Chemicals set free The prophets will come forth now After Mexican cuisine The fallen angels crumbled to the Earth Down on bended knee. Their only chance of salvation Indulgence plenary God let us out God set us free God let us out Or it will all cease to be. A stripper muse before them The prophets fail to see A darker plot unfolding A demon born of suffering A killing spree behind them The angels heading east But they underestimate The drawing power of Jersey. The fallen angels crumbled to the Earth Into the land of cheese. Their only chance for getting out Indulgence plenary No pleasure, no rapture No exquisite sin greater Than central air Azrael Azrael Pick that up Azrael bring us home The fallen angels crumbled to the Earth Into the land of cheese. Their only chance for getting out Indulgence plenary The fallen angels crumbled to the Earth We're going home now Into the land of cheese. You can't stop us now Their only chance for getting out Everything must end now Indulgence plenary All of you, on your knees

Time Lies 04:13
(Say, do you hear the drums?) I returned From the end of the universe Humanity in tow To save them all With mastery And spread our empire Across space and time itself And I can hear the drums And I can hear the drums My plan was thwarted By the champion of humanity As she traveled across the earth She raised an army of voices against me And sent the sons of her progeny Screaming into the flames of the end of the universe. And I can hear the drums And I can hear the drums The fathers of my homeland returned through cracks in time Intent on killing all mankind I stood before them I cast my ego aside I saved you all just like a Doctor would And I can hear the drums And I can hear the drums Time lies.

My friend marched into death in the fall of naught and five Victor or victim, you know, I could not surmise But I know that nothing could ever be the same My life and my friend were forever changed ‘It’s for the best’ they preach to us But will the world survive our guns The devil lies asleep in bed Relying on the efforts of our friends I lost my friend on a cold, dark night in Babylon One shot, one kill, or so they said, and he was gone It was a matter of life or death, kill or be killed A piece of my life died that night up on that fucking hill ‘It’s for the best’ they preach to us But will the world survive our guns The devil lies asleep in bed Relying on the efforts of our friends A ghost of a man came unto me With tainted hopes and nightmare dreams I wanted to greet him with open arms But the pain and the anger and the fire in his eyes…wo, oh, oh! ‘It’s for the best’ they preach to us But will the world survive our guns The devil lies asleep in bed Relying on the efforts of our friends My friend marched into death in the fall of naught and five Victor or victim, you know, I could not surmise But I know that nothing could ever be the same My life and my friend were forever changed

Say you don't want it And say you don't need it Say you condemn it Refusing to feed it Vultures feast on carrion Show them that you're battle worn Scarred and torn we must go on Take back power from the storm Feel like turning Feel like burning Say you don't want it And say you don't need it Say you condemn it Refusing to feed it Lies consuming It's all breaking Filled with lies Try to deny No truth inside The power hungry will go on Refuse their pathos and hold strong In your chest your armor's worn Lies deflected, truth is born Filled with lies But truth won't die Say you don't want it And say you don't need it Say you condemn it Refusing to feed it Vultures feast on carrion Show them that you're battle worn Scarred and torn we must go on Take back power from the storm The power hungry will go on Refuse their pathos and hold strong In your chest your armor's worn Lies deflected, truth is born Filled with lies But truth won't die

How? 04:35
A bonfire flickered in the distance I never had a chance Rhythmic beats repeated nothing Bodies thrashed around as we danced Silhouetted in the darkness As the jumpers burned and bled The world in its frenzied fervor As never before and never again How in the world will I ever forget you This sting in my heart says I'm not really meant to How in the world will I ever forget you This sting in my heart says I'm not really meant to And where am I supposed to be? What did you want from me? And where am I supposed to be? What did you want from me? How in the world will I ever forget you This sting in my heart says I'm not really meant to How in the world will I ever forget you This sting in my heart says I'm not really meant to And, oh, the sound of that door The sound of my heart The sound of my soul And, oh, the sound of a crash The sound of my heart The sound of my soul And, oh, the end of that bliss The end of my heart The end of my soul. And, oh, the end of that bliss The end of my heart The end of my soul.

I was a boy once,too Lost in the innocence of my existence I believed what they told me to A benevolent beast watched over me And we prayed To God And you took that away From Me Your vengeful God Exacted his wrath on me He took me from my innocence To a world that's empty But there's no way to unlearn what I know There's no way back To the simple pleasure Of ignorance I grew into the knowledge That man begot God And lost the faith That Jesus was coming That there was someone who cared That was looking out for me And I prayed to nothing And nothing answered me Your vengeful God Exacted his wrath on me He took me from my innocence To a world that's empty But there's no way to unlearn what I know There's no way back To the simple pleasure Of ignorance Sure, I was a man once, too Lost in the turmoil of my existence I never believed.. no never A malevolent beast glared out from me And they prayed To God And I took that away from them Your vengeful God Exacted his wrath on me He took me from my innocence To a world that's empty But there's no way to unlearn what I know There's no way back To the simple pleasure Of ignorance

about

Our sophomore effort took a little longer than anticipated, but the results were well worth it. We present a nod to '90s rock that stands on its own, and has life. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we've enjoyed making it.
