Mystic Prophecy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Comes over you this night my son
The power of angels and
The heresy of Christ
Can never save you again
Living shadows dance around in a circle
And bathing with your blood
Burning bridges burns in my eyes
My kingdom burns down and falling
Burning bridges burns in my eyes
My soul has left me tonight
I'm coming from the center of
Damnation to the outskirts of hell
I'm the maze of god
I lead you in another heaven
And I am the true face of evil
Now that the skies are painted with
The blood of the angels
The last eclipse of the sun has begun
