LYRICS:
(Saul to Stephen):
Took a walk all alone just the other day
Wishing words could wash your guilt away
All through this sun and rain there beats a black refrain
Falling ever calling out your name

Children hide the truth in games they play
An old man can’t find youth or so they say
Still they won’t say why but every time you try
You pay the price for lyin’ when you die

A thousand fallen angels set loose across the land
No longer lost beneath the Dead Sea sand
Now they’ve come to conquer man

(Demons to Saul):
Satan served a madman up to Galilee
Drank unholy water from the foaming sea
Wrestled with the seven scepters
Brought defeat to Eden’s vectors
Settled for a death watch
For all time

Open up, oh, open up the garden grave
(Voice of Satan): "Open up the grave"

Mark the rising prophet by the souls you save
(Voice of Satan): "Open up the grave"

Turn around the star behind you
Lights a long dark lonely shadow
Hides a hidden headstone as a sign

(Saul to Stephen):
A thousand fallen angels set loose across the land
No longer lost beneath the Dead Sea sand
Now they’ve come to conquer man

(Saul to Stephen):
Took a walk one holy holiday
Wishing words could wash your guilt away

Through all
This sun & rain
Still beats a black refrain
Falling – ever calling out your name

Children hide the truth in games they play
(Voice of Satan): "Open up the grave"

An old man can’t find youth or so they say
(Voice of Satan): "Open up the grave"

Still they
Won’t say why
But every time you try
You pay the price for livin’ when you die

(Simultaneous – Demons to Saul):
Satan served a madman up to Galilee
Drank unholy water from the foaming sea
Wrestled with the seven scepters
Brought defeat to Eden’s vectors
Settled for a death watch
For all time

Open up, oh, open up the garden grave
(Voice of Satan): "Open up the grave"

Mark the rising prophet by the souls you save
(Voice of Satan): "Open up the grave"

Turn around the star behind you
Casts a long dark lonely shadow
Hides a hidden headstone as a sign

(Saul to Stephen):
A thousand fallen angels set loose across the land
No longer lost beneath the Dead Sea sand
Now you’ve come to conquer man

Conquer man
Conquer man
Conquer man
