Liston Church Lyrics

Liston church now stands forlorn,
silhouetted against the skies
Its dwindling congregation,
has left the church to die
The dogma that spans a thousand years is
coming to an end
And a force much greater than their faith,
has returned to wreak revenge

The Church is now a lifeless form,
For echo of the past
When its authority was unquestioned,
An ideology they thought would last

God is the power it wielded,
through churches countrywide
Once all knew the pious grandeur, hide
hypocrisy inside

The Sanctuary of the buttress wall, now
offers no rest bite
Gives them no protection,
from the wraths that rule the night

Shadowy forms now embrace the dark,
To roam the land once more
Yew trees circle the crumbling walls, to
keep the witches from the door

Control the masses,
Control their minds,
Control what they think and you
Control their lives

Control their fears
From birth to the grave
Follow the gospels
if you want to be saved

But the fear of the coven rules the land
Now smitten down by a mighty hand

The teachings of the old ways
within the ring of stone
Which for centuries have lain sleeping, now
rise to take the throne

Man, and earth are now as one, the way it
was meant to be,
What was once called superstition, has
finally set them free
