Dark ages swallow
The fires of Rome
Empty and hollow
Your mind aches to roam
Long shadows follow
The lone pilgrim's march back home

Marching round in circles
Down the paths of yesterday
Chasing his old footprints
For the millionth time today
Locked into an orbit
Of eternal deja vu
Same old calculation
Dervish numbers whirl askew

You're the pariah
An outcast of man
Challenged Jehovah
To show you his hand
Number messiah
That no one can understand

Listen to the darkness
For the secrets that were lost
Thought you tuned the answer
But the signals did get crossed
Dialing for the secret
Lying on your bed of nails
Tune to revelation's
Idiot wind and fill your sails

The words of Deuteronomy
Losing war with entropy
The demons of infinity
Your secret numerology

Ply your abacus
Fly like Icarus
The harlot in your bed
Stained the walls in red
The crucible sublimes
The music of the primes
The voices in your head
The laughter of the dead

The words of Deuteronomy
Losing war with entropy
The demons of infinity
Your secret numerology

Hidden in these walls
Where the darkness calls
A creature void of form
Sought shelter from the storm
Buried in the hail
Bleeding on the trail
Lost in the unknown
The ashen bird has flown

All you touch
All you feel
All you hear
All you see
Tainted by heresy

Leave your soul
Hanging by the door
You won't need
That traitor no more...
