Lyrics Poema Arcanus

Poema Arcanus

And Thou Shall Obey

Lyrics: Claudio Botarro / Music: Michel Leroy & Igor Leiva

Can't understand love through fear,

And life without the blessing

Of my birthright

So from thy heavens, built of mothers

who can't feed their own sons

I'll fall again... to drown in ecstasy...

Into this burning place

Stage of anxious flesh

Innocence and disgrace... are alive

My child releases my hand

And wondered, he runs to the sweet fountain

Quenching his thirst,

Pure child

Nailed to a well learned ignorance,

You cannot touch paradise

Your child releases your hand

And faraway he runs from the sweet fountain

Ashamed of himself,

Poor child

Living your life in this maze

Like an echo or a slave

Inside your soul you refuse to see

Misery is disguised as salvation

Omnipotent sadism, life and death in fear

... And thou shall obey

Omnipresent voyeurism, extinct privacy

... And thou shall obey

Omniscient tyranny, the bonfire of all dreams

... And thou shall obey
