Lyrics
OBSIDIAN & GOLD (DESDINOVA RETURNS)
(Schwartz)
Look to the sky
When Saturn looms
Exalted in the seventh sign
Listen for the call
When reality and dreamworld align
Faith will never die
Winter comes and leaves will fall
But roots grow stronger still
Unseen among you all
He will bring the trials
Some will rise and some will burn
So we bide our time
Until the traveler returns
The artifact is found
The call goes out on coded wire
To meet on sacred ground
The chosen few who now conspire
Unseal the chamber
Shake off the dust of centuries
The sign of Kronos burns
Reactivate the machinery
Hold the symbol high
None can deny the power
Ride into the night
When the starlight gleams
On chrome and steel
The four winds drive you on
To tropic lands
With tyranny at hand
The ancient from stories told
Reflected in obsidian and gold
The flaming telepaths
Indoctrinating with their minds
Project the aftermath
Of the mutation of all mankind
Restless angels are riding still
Above the cliffs at Dead Man’s Curve
Call back the red and the black
The spectral riders are bound to serve
Hold the symbol high
None can deny the power
Ride into the night
When the starlight gleams
On chrome and steel
The four winds drive you on
To tropic lands
With tyranny at hand
The ancient ones from stories told
Reflected in obsidian and gold
Listening for the voices
That we never hear
From lightyears away
Were they ever heard
Just a single word
Steadfast and hale
Time can’t assail
Those temples that live
In our hearts forever
From rivers of time
Bearing the sign
Desdinova returns
So close your eyes and surrender
To the tyranny of our certainty
Daughters and sons
We bring the reign
Of the invisible ones
Hold the symbol high
None can deny the power
Ride into the night
When starlight gleams
On chrome and steel
The four winds drive you on
To tropic lands
With tyranny at hand
The ancient ones from stories told
Reflected in obsidian and gold
