lyrics

Acolyte began in a life of sin
Mysticism cloaked memories within
Hidden from the light of the soul again
Resurrection path to the left begins

Wolf among the sheep seeking those too weak
Kneel among the faithful the hunters pique
Hunger of a daemon the thirst oblique
Mark upon the target the blessed meek

Stalking in the night slip between the lights
Entering the house searching for the sight
Floating down the hall to the glow of white
Stop before the door of the Acolyte

Whispering a foul stench of foetid breath
Calling out a name to the soundless flesh
Creep into the dreams of the sleeping wreck
Sink your tendrils deep in the luminesce

Over the ground in empty pools
Swirling around the aimless fools
Cutting the ties of church-bound rules

Waiting to see the consequences
Surging beyond the nameless fences
Counting to mark the lifeless lenses
Among the never seen – Behind the Nazarene

As he taught the world to love
Not hidden below or high above
The half of the quarter sought the dove

Changing the wicked world to kind
Healing the sick, the lost, the blind
Showing the way, the path divine
Among the never seen – Beside the Nazarene

As an equal in his quest
Some thought their place above the rest
Jealousy formed to spoil the best

Judas would plot and act the friend
For pieces of silver he would send
Him onto a cross-bound bitter end
Among the never seen – Betrayed the Nazarene

Now the soul is taken the battle done
Acolyte in thrall to the daemon one
Exile on the earth walks another son
Preying on the flock ‘til they’re overrun

Converting the saved to a damned soul
Power of the dark on this plane doth grow
Innocence will fall with a quiet groan
Acolytes of light to the dark have flown
