Haggard - Chapter I The Day As Heaven Wept lyrics

One of man's darkest chapter, it has just begun

In the sign of the cross they rise

It's the epoch of the inquisition

Too many brothers and sisters have died...

-

..left with no life inside to be awakened

They will never see the morning sun again

Hypocrisy killed the forsakened

Who thought, faith would be their only friend

Faith would be their only friend

-

The scenery shows the ashes of some who tried to refuse

Rising smoke becomes one with the dim light of the pale and lurid moon

Can dark clouds hide the hidden from the mighty eye of god?

Using his name on the pretext of deciding who's allowed to live... and

who's not!

(It's a very dark night, nobody outside...

Silence wrapps up the land, as suddenly

Hoof beats destroy all sleep

In a very dark night...)

-

Who's allowed to live... and who's not!

-

From high above the Lord silently watches and grieves

And sadness rises from his inner deep

"For thou, my son hath been crucified..."

All the angels laid down their trumpets and cried

-

"One shalt be sent to foresee mankind's death!

Rain shalt be my tears and thunder my wrath!"

Sitting on his throne, left of all hope he once kept

On the day, as heaven wept

-

As heaven wept
