Shades Of Heavenly Death Lyrics - Fates Warning

By black we ride, or so they say 

Our need for reason, there greed is paid 

Powers rumble for spiritual sway 

Paths are laid then leaders stray 

It's right then left, witch way to turn 

Follow me or forever burn 

We evil blessed, bring your soul to sell 

All wish away into empty wells 

Fortunes found in holy halls 

Redeem your every fault 

When dogmas given are blindly held 

And treasures given caught 

Any wish can only last 

Until the spell's descried 

While subtle, wicked ways 

Fracture weakened minds 

Slaves of a different kind march to broken bells 

Freedom in a bind and make it all sound well 

Blackened blue etched in glass forming outer walls 

Tell clearly of the emptiness and mute distressful calls 

Lines lead to dead ends where 

Plays seen are never clear 

And those who ride never fare 

Crowned voids forever rule 

In worlds lived and learned of fools 

Conformity's the teachers' tool
