negative plane - three turns to the west lyrics
the holy man asked the angels for a miracle
and asked the lord above how to show his faith
in cloister walls, cloaked within the blessed silence
“do not put the lord your god to the test!
obey his law, kneel before the king of kings”
was it a voice heard from somewhere above?
or perhaps only a whisper from a dream (that said)
“the angels and saints are deaf to thoughts and prayers alone
but in the sanctum below, you will find the answers that you seek
follow the steps, the wait will not be long”
three turns to the west
another to the east
stand within a circle
by the altar of the penitent
it will be there
the light in the darkness
the dark in the light
as abraham offered up his only son
a test of faith, “the lord will surely stay your hand”
weathered robes and habit, wooden crucifix
trembling hands plunge the knife into the chest..
“i am deceived, now there can be no turning back”
three turns to the west
another to the east
blessed is the sacrifice
by the altar of the penitent
three turns towards the north
and another to the south
a black dog will appear to thee
to lead into the sanctuary
it will be there…
the light in the darkness
the dark in the light
what has just been done can never be undone
denied forever entry to the mansions above
but the entrance to the sanctuary lies just beyond…
“conceal all your actions and leave not a trace
quickly for your absence has already been noted!”
too late, they return
“at the hour of vespers
you were not amongst us”
the knife still in his hand
his habit stained with blood
and the deed is known
writhing in the agonies of the auto da fe
burned without the benefit of strangulation
the devil and saint peter cast lots for his remains
the secret below the chapel dies upon his lips
“there was another way inside”
