Year of the Goat
Ira
[Verse 1]
Slowly it's awakened
Silent this time
A growing rage like a serpent
With a cunning grin, I took a bite
Blinded by fury
Who knows evil from good
I hear him laughing, that old serpent
It echoes through the night

[Chorus 1]
Some say it's over now
The days when we were glorious
A sharp sword from my mouth
Will strike their nations down

[Verse 2]
Those gentle answers
Humbly given by wise
Turns to a steel edge sharpened
At the end of a fool's knife
I'll be the righteous judge
No calm when I'm reborn
For those fallen short of the glory
I'll be the tempest, I'll be the storm

[Chorus 2]
A fool says it's over now
The days of my father's wrath
The hate dwelling in the soul
Merge with the returning son

[Bridge]
I'm cleansing the dirt from the evils of man
But a foul taste of sour grapes lingers on
My words like a blade and my teeth are set on edge
A fire grows a thunderstorm over the world
(Fire)
(Like a thunderstorm)
(Like a thunderstorm)

[Verse 3]
Regenerate yourself through my blood
A dark red poison through your veins
Now drink it all
For this is my blood (This is my body)
Like glancing through a window melted by the sunlight
(Praise the morning star)
The stories of the father turns to vapor as a new sunrise
(All is gone)

[Refrain]
The ruler of the dolorous
On the throne before us
His light will never find you
Through the ice around you

[Verse 4]
A longing for the coldness far away from sunlight
(Praise the morning star)
The memory of the father
Shattered in this new sunrise
(All is gone)

[Refrain]
The ruler of dolorous
On the throne before us
His light will never find you
Through the ice around you
No one there to guide you

[Outro]
I'm cleansing the dirt from the evils of man
But a foul taste of sour grapes lingers on
My words like a blade and my teeth are set on edge
A fire grows a thunderstorm over the world
