manticora - the twilight shadow lyrics

dawn of time, the first-born am i
i will be the last one to die
guardian of the earth, protector of the sea
to it all i hold the master key

i can tell the faith of mortal men
i can tell you how you die and when
when i'm looking deep into your mind
i can see you're ignorant and blind

dressed in all colours, called by all names
i disguise as water, earth or flames
i've shown you every dream, shown you every nightmare
even though you still don't seem to care

i can tell the faith of mortal men
i can tell you how you die and when
when i'm looking deep into your mind
i can see you're ignorant and blind

i am the twilight shadow
i'll enlighten your darkest sins
when forever ends
i'll stop the cause for living

i've seen the way to paradise, i know the road to hell
where you're going i for sure can tell
the end is closer, your maker you will meet
destruction of the earth has been complete

i can tell the faith of mortal men
i can tell you how you die and when
when i'm looking deep into your mind
i can see you're ignorant and blind
