Demo version of Visions Under a Full Moon, from From Beyond the Grave.
lyrics
Deep in the caves of eternal shame
A lost soul lies here in the wake
Voices calling, like wolves, they howl
Into the night from whence they came
Predators looking for their next fix
A classified crusade
The ire reigns from the highest peaks
Witness its rule across the charade
This is the calm before the storm
Without hesitation, the swords are clashing
The guns are blazing ahead
A crushing formation, the wounds are gashing
A field made from the dead
In this realm of my home, I call back to past times
Where peace was killed by dread
The endless fighting is ravaging millions
Who don't choose where they rest
This is the calm before the storm
The visions stay in my head
I see as if it's real
Snapping out, in my eyes it's there
Under the full moon
Reaching further into the depths
We hear the voice that screams from within
Inside we witness the abomination
The catalyst for all destruction
Crack it open, dissect the nation
Inquiring has been complete
The king will fall and a new lord steps in
The savior of all the sheep
In all of the carnage, no one can stop it
The gods look down and they laugh
Not one soul wasted, just pawns for our deeds
Like moths they fly toward the flame
More fuel for fire, a great catastrophe
Distract them from the corrupt
Take them out now, one by one
Watch the empire erupt
The visions stay in my head
I see as if it's real
Snapping out, in my eyes it's there
Under the full moon
