And When He Falleth Lyrics

[Female Voice:]
"Be my kin free fro carnal sin,
Bridle the thoughts of thy Master."

[Male Voice:]
"There hath past away a glore fro the Earth;
A glore that in the hearts and minds of men,
Men demented - blindfolded by light,
Hourisheth as weed in their well-groom'd garihs."

[Male Voice:]
"Might I too was blindfolded ere,
Tho' years have master'd me
A masque of this to fashion:
Seer blest, thou best philosopher!"
[Female Voice:]
"The quality of mercy and absolution,
Whence cometh such qualities?
Build thyself a mirror in which
Solely wanton images of thy desire appear!"

[Male Voice:]
"Tis the Divine Comedy -
The fool and the mocking court:
Fool, kneel now, and ring thy bells!:
We hold the Earth to heaven away."
[Female Voice:]
"Tis is Divine Tragedy -
The fool and the mocking court:
Fool, kneel now, and ring thy bells!:
Make us guffaw at thy futile follies,
Yet for our blunders - Oh, in shame;
Earth beareth no balm for mistakes -
We hold the Earth to Hell away."

***[Dialogue:]***

[Male Voice:]
That cross you wear around your neck;
is it only a decoration, or are you a
true Christian believer?

[Female Voice:]
Yes, I believe - truly.

[Male Voice:]
Then I want you to remove it at once!Theatre Of Tragedy - And When He Falleth - http://motolyrics.com/theatre-of-tragedy/and-when-he-falleth-lyrics.html
- and never to wear it within this castle
again! Do you know how a falcon is trained my
dear? Her eyes are sewn shut. Blinded temporarily
she suffers the whims of her God patiently, until
her will is submerged and she learns to serve -
as your God taught and blinded you with
crosses.

[Female Voice:]
You had me take off my cross because it
offended....

[Male Voice:]
It offended no-one. No - it simply appears
to me to be discourteous to... to wear
the symbol of a deity long dead.
My ancestors tried to find it. And to open
the door that seperates us from our Creator.

[Female Voice:]
But you need no doors to find God.
If you believe....

[Male Voice:]
Believe?! If you believe you are...gullible.
Can you look around this world and believe
in the goodness of a god who rules it?
Famine, Pestilence, War, Disease and Death!
They rule this world.

[Female Voice:]
There is also love and life and hope.

Very little hope I assure you. No. If a god
of love and life ever did exist...he is long
since dead. Someone...something rules in his
place.

***[End of Dialig]***

[sung:]

[Male Voice:]
"Believe? In a deity long dead? -
I would rather be a pagan suckléd in creeds outworn;
Whith faärytales fill'd up in head;
Thoughts of the Book stillborn."

[Female Voice:]
"Shadow of annoyance -
Ne'er come hither!
...And when He falleth, He falleth like Lucifer,
Ne'er to ascend again..."

Because there are many moments in which there are a simultaneous singing, I have rearranged the text in a way that it would be easier to follow the lyrics, not necessarily in the way it is sung. I'm talking about verses 3-4, and 5-6.

Just listen (the beautiful) song and you'll understand
