The Great Pandemonium
Kamelot · Poetry For The Poisoned [2010]
On a silent shore
I spoke to God
The sun is down
Assemble the great pandemonium
War
One more down by the brook of Babylon
One more down in accordance with my fate
One long drift across the lake of Avalon
One more trip that I must create
And my eyes sweep a shore
that was always there
A blood red line
Through the sonisphere
I can't resolve where it's coming from
I sense it's the great pandemonium
One more, Just one more
Just one, Just one more day
One more day by the pits of hell
Just one more when even yesterday was too late
One more thought that i have to sow
One last trick that you can't debate
War
On a silent shore
I confronted fear
I spoke to God
But he wasn't there
The sun is down
And the war begun
Assemble the great pandemonium
[Growls:]
Break down
Got to break down
Break down
And my eyes sweep a shore
That was always there
A blood red line
Through the sonisphere
I can't resolve where it's coming from
I sense it's the great pandemonium
On a silent shore
I confronted fear
I spoke to God
But he wasn't there
The sun is down
And the war begun
Assemble the great pandemonium
Just one, Just one, Just one more day
Just one, Just one, Just one more day
Just one, Just one more
WAR
The Great Pandemonium
