SET TO STUN - STARIA III: THE ACOLYTES OF AMADEUS (Official Audio)

"STARIA III: THE ACOLYTES OF AMADEUS" from SET TO STUN’s newly-released album, VALKYRIE ONE, out NOW via Tragic Hero Records. LYRICS:c “All I want from you is just to leave me alone” There’s something I’ve got to do I tried to call you but you couldn’t even pick up the phone So I’ll leave you with the memory Of my last words on a machine, So you can hear my voice when you think of me When every part of me is falling to pieces, And every piece of the puzzle is so inherently greedy, As they clamor for their benefits, A bullet at the end of it, I struggle to discover any poetry within this pain And the more I think about the death, the more I feel the same But it’s here in the dark With every beat of my heart That I can hear the darkness sing (Kill) “Sweet child of mine, you were born of the night And you will rise in the east, Like my father before me Now take the knife, and by your blood swear to me Lay waste the sons of Adam and Your precious daughters of Eve!” (Out from the covenant and into a blood curse) What were we thinking when we traded love for lust? (Out from the covenant and into a blood curse) I lost everything when I lost your trust “After careful consideration and much deliberation I have come to the decision that death is not our enemy but a rather misinterpreted solution to the systematic issues at the heart of our humanity. Where life is a catalyst for panic and pain, death can be remedy. Wouldn/t you agree?” To find a heart of gold in a hero is easier said than done I’ve seen the way that you look at me That quiver in your eye I taste the fever in your appetite For my gypsy lips and lies The shaman raped me in the blood on the battlefield, Where the bodies built a temple they were stacked so high They took my daughter as an offer to the altar of the shadow maiden Moon and in the ruins burned her body as a sacrifice “From the safety of you citadels Your preachers speak false hope to sons of a man Whilst your precious ALyson burns” And in that moment when the sky split in half All the blood on the ground kissed the clouds like a tainted rain And in the lighting I could see the angels fighting And the world was on fire and my soul was in flames And I screamed I don’t know if I can carry this I don’t know if I can find the strength (We will fight) I will clothe you in righteousness And I will lift you up and I will call you my son And this groovy number… The humans like to call “The Death Rattle” Thinner! Thinner! Thinner and thinner until he withers away! Fuck you Scream all you want little man, You’re a maggot in a fly fight, Folly fathered acolyte, A callus in the hive mind of time Holding holy to the lines left behind by a dead man Go Bad men make their own rules And only dead men can tell no tales, But a good man follows his heart into hell And he’ll incessantly suffer ‘til the truth is found We’re all lost souls trying to set the sails and go home What the fuck was I thinking? Who the hell have I become? ANother bastard song to the horned one They’re banging on the war drums Marching to the orders of a blind man When every broken dream I ever had is in a body bag It’s hopeless to resist me now I am the beginning and the end And you will bow to me With your descendants final breath Your fabled staria will fall The war-pigs scream for “revolution” While the lion roars “revelation” Upon my returning, the world will be burning As people are preparing for war, You presume in your doom that I came to bring peace, WhenI came carrying a sword There’ll be weeping and a gnashing of teeth, All the innocent blood unavenged, Wicked men and pretenders you’ll answer to me So take your legion, return to the flame Your dominion of darkness was broken In the moment my people found the power in my name I alone have conquered the grave Here we go… What was I think? Who had I become? So bide your time and keep waiting, All the vapid prayers you’ve been praying, Are you finding comfort in others who share the faith you’ve been faking? Are you high when they’re hanging on every word that you’re saying? These boys and girls are just puppets tethered to the strings that you’re playing And I watch them line up in chains At a chance to be entertained, I bartered blodd for your freedom Just to watch you give it away So we’ll take it back from these bastards Who branded you as a slave With a little passion and madness Every time I step on the on the stage And if I have to, I would tale all your pain If it gave me half the chance to say The world never gave a shit about me, And it’ll give you every reason why you shouldn’t believe, But if you’d only have the courage to trust me And love me like I love you To all the women I’ve hurt, Who took my name when they took off And then ran it through the dirt, I’m sorry I couldn’t measure up to the man you thought of me To all the boys on the battlegrounds, Looking to claw their way up out
