Carried on Lead Wings
Lyrics:
[English]
Sanctity, elevated, winged
Dealer of life and death
Transcendent manifestation of strength
Coercion in absolute silence stands
Godhead, winged nymph of Styx
Divider of life and death
Force, strength and emulations old
Golden feathers turned to lead
Demigod, source of strength and skill
Sold as tools of harm to the next one above
Primary enforcer, an extension of his will
Reason lost for the sole purpose of the decanter to refill
...
Heroine, in silence you stand
The only one strong enough
To bind in eternal rock and unbreakable chains
Your eagle to inflict vexation and unbearable pains
Impiety, lowered, un-winged
Beheaded, abandoned in debris
Demigod, source of envy and zeal
Sold as tools of jealousy, to the next one above
Secondary enforcer, another extension of his will
Reason lost for the sole purpose of their cups to refill
...
Sanctity, once more elevated, winged
Lead feathers turned golden
...
Cast in stone, upon high stairs
In awe of the many
Lift her up to influence the vastness of numbers
...
