Lyrics:

[English]

Into steep stairs leading above

The pawn is moved

Wearing his reverence as an adornment

Forged from manuscripts

Adorned in flowers

The apostle gives birth to the skies

For the obedient

Golden pillars as pediments will rise

...

Into deep waters flowing below

The venturer is thrown

Wearing his insurgency as a weight

Cast in heresy

Iconoclastic, the zealot is drowned

Orgiastic, the libertine is scorned

Adored in flowers

The apostle gives birth to the skies

For the obedient

Golden pillars as pediments will rise

...

There in shrines, under signs

By dogma paralyze

In between golden walls

Of the collector and His construct

Minds grow stems to the sky

Under the promise of eternal fire

In abundance in golden halls

Of the collector and His construct

...

Upheave the philanthropist

The believer dressed in gold

Contributor to the greater good

Cleansed in honey and milk

Cast down the recipient

The apostate that umbra dressed

Malefactor to the greater good

By the ankle, weighed down

Iconoclastic, the zealot is drowned

Orgiastic, the libertine is scorned

Adored in flowers

The apostle gives birth to the skies

For the obedient

Golden pillars as pediments will rise

There in shrines, under signs

By dogma paralyze

In between golden walls

Of the collector and His construct

Minds grow stems to the sky

Under the promise of eternal fire

In abundance in golden halls

Of the collector and His construct
