The Clerical Conspiracy - Sabbat[00:00:00]

I have wealth beyond measure[00:00:03]

My treasures are words[00:00:05]

Forged by time in a tale of[00:00:08]

Such beauty they cry to be heard [00:00:10]

Still a young fool was I as[00:00:12]

My story begins[00:00:15]

Yet like all fools considered[00:00:16]

Myself to be wise[00:00:17]

A match for all things [00:00:21]

But the lessons I've learned[00:00:23]

I will never forget[00:00:24]

When your teacher is life then[00:00:27]

Success is survival and[00:00:28]

Failure is death [00:00:29]

From early years I saw the world[00:00:32]

Through tunnel-vision eyes[00:00:34]

My cloistered mind philosophized[00:00:34]

And fossilized[00:00:36]

Secure in my belief was I[00:00:36]

Assured throughout my life the[00:00:39]

Only things that could sustain me[00:00:40]

Were the words of Jesus Christ [00:00:41]

There is no way to fight a foe[00:00:42]

Who strikes from the inside[00:00:44]

And once within we can begin to[00:00:45]

Smite this pagan pride [00:00:47]

We shall take their graven images[00:00:48]

And grind them in the dirt[00:00:49]

For that men can live in paradise[00:00:51]

Must be the Devils work [00:00:52]

The clerical conspiracy begins[00:00:54]

We shall wash away your sins[00:00:55]

We have come to purify[00:00:57]

To purge you of your liberty[00:00:59]

Absolve you of all sanity[00:01:02]

The 'truth' you want to hear[00:01:04]

We shall provide [00:01:06]

How can we hope to save these[00:01:07]

Heathen when we know not of[00:01:10]

Their ways[00:01:11]

One of us must journey southward[00:01:12]

Infiltrate and then assuage [00:01:14]

Only when we have this knowledge[00:01:15]

Can we finalise our plans[00:01:17]

Greet them with a velvet glove[00:01:19]

Then crush them 'neath an iron hand [00:01:21]

Christian soldiers armed with virtue[00:01:50]

Hearts afire with blind obsession[00:01:52]

Cannot see the difference 'twixt[00:01:53]

Compassion and oppression[00:01:54]

These were the days I believed that[00:01:54]

Salvation was mine[00:01:56]

When I worshipped apostles[00:01:57]

Believing their gospels to be divine[00:01:58]

My life drifted by in a warm summer haze[00:02:00]

And I thought I would bath in the light[00:02:02]

Of our lord 'till the end of my days [00:02:05]

But destiny mocked me[00:02:09]

And fate did bequest[00:02:13]

That the strength of my faith in[00:02:14]

The Lord God Almighty be put to the test [00:02:18]

My son your word is matchless as[00:02:20]

A scribe you have been blessed[00:02:21]

Your skill and faith in God doth[00:02:23]

Qualify you for our quest [00:02:25]

You will sail to Southern England[00:02:26]

And recount their blasphemies [00:02:29]

For the first step in their cure[00:02:30]

Must be to learn of theit disease [00:02:33]

For one so young so great an honour[00:02:34]

To be chosen for this task[00:02:36]

Have I the stength[00:02:37]

Would I be worthy [00:02:38]

Questions that I dared not ask [00:02:39]

Was I to be a missionary searching[00:02:41]

For lost souls to save[00:02:42]

Or just another pawn in their[00:02:44]

Monastic power games [00:02:45]

The clerical conspiracy begins[00:02:46]

We shall wash away your sins[00:02:47]

We have come to purify[00:02:48]

To purge you of your liberty[00:02:50]

Absolve you of all sanity[00:02:51]

The 'truth' you want to hear[00:02:52]

We shall provide [00:02:53]

How can we hope to save these[00:02:55]

Heathen when we know not of[00:02:56]

Their ways[00:02:57]

You Wat Brand must journey southward[00:02:58]

Infiltrate and then assuage [00:02:59]

Only when we have this knowledge[00:03:00]

Can we finalise our plans[00:03:02]

Greet them with a velvet glove[00:03:03]

Then crush them 'neath an iron hand [00:03:05]

Christian soldiers armed with virtue[00:03:06]

Hearts afire with blind obsession[00:03:08]

Cannot see the difference 'twixt[00:03:09]

Compassion and oppression [00:03:10]

And so with terror in my heart[00:03:11]

I learned what had to be[00:03:13]

That I must tour these foriegn shores[00:03:14]

My cross for company [00:03:16]

Those who had preceded me[00:03:17]

Of pagan devils warned[00:03:18]

With fearful tales of christian souls[00:03:19]

Since martyred on their horns [00:03:20]

In my tale I will tell how we[00:04:06]

All were decieved[00:04:08]

For in truth I was hunted not[00:04:08]

Hunter as I had believed [00:04:10]

How could I have known that the[00:04:11]

Guide they'd provide was to[00:04:13]

Show me far more than I'd ever[00:04:14]

Imagined I could have desired [00:04:16]

So soon would I learn[00:05:03]

What a fool I had been[00:05:04]

There is more than one side to a coin[00:05:06]

Life is not what it seems[00:05:07]

It's no more than a dream[00:05:09]
