Paranoia filled his heart
It was the prophecy that stood to tear his world apart
The wise foresaw the birth of a son
That would teach of a life beyond this mortal one
And like a beast that rises across the sky
Paranoia declared that child must die
Slay all the sons that are less than two
And thus the cruelest campaign did ensue
Despite his arrogance and desire to reign well you know...
This was the moment in time
When all could have been reversed
When those who did stand by
Who allowed the ensuing madness to reign
One moment in time
When all could have been reversed
When paranoia's throne was usurped
When the flesh of your saviour should have burned
Like a star like a beacon in the night
But paranoia was betrayed by the enlightened that led the way
And despite all the steel that cleaved through the young flesh
Paranoia's authority was trampled on
The flesh of your saviour should burn
And from the day we'er born till the hour we die
Those chains that bind us men and women of the west
That would never have been
A fucking nightmare!
The nightmare cometh
Paranoia's failure
Set that faith aflame
