Elephant - Age of the Visionaries lyrics

In the madness of the tower of the seven orichalcum gates Glittering quintessence, realignment of the triple suns A planet returns from confusion, phantoms of annihilation A realm of destruction in chaotic rebirth Spectral knights in starlit plains chant the rhyme of the staves Darkling lords in swamplands drear cling to neon brilliance The benevolents and the miscreants in truce for another beginning We, the primitives, the dreamers seek the ways of creation Plowing through the soil of night in a sacred quest An apocalypse of thought, renaissance of imagining Revolting against thrones of order and stagnation From the rubble and silence we rise in a blaze We're still alive, our time has come The brave the strong and the foolish are one Control the magic, control destiny We are the leaders of the visionaries' age Survivors wear the crest of great ability and strength Wishes on the horizon and wonders in our hands Hear our laughter amongst the thunder We are the gods of myth, reveling in the storm Arete is forged in fires of the hermit's spells Pursue the virtuous traits of man and beast The knowledge is rampant, wisdom enacted Empowered by ability we become more than the heart Traverse the grim perils of the ancient wizard's castle Resisting the morbid that settle upon the hearth We leave the rites of fear at the offer of a new hope A divine opportunity to chase the sunrise Riding out on the wind of the aggressor At laser speed and through glowing mists unphased Sounding the horn from the wings of the rainbow A hypnotic chorus from angelic pantheons Once the navigator dares and steps toward the void From the highest window to the unfathomed Heavenscape Open my eyes and bless the dawn of utter zero The palace disappears forever To the open unknown we fly On the breath of the burning stars Following a whim of Icarian audacity Awakening as our will is wrought From the mountain of iron shadows Restoring the obscured truth from decay We understand and meet the challenge of our time This generation will set it right
