Goat of Mendes - The Enigma Within Lyrics

My life lies torn and shattered
By what I just have seen
My faith in divine mercy
Has turned to misery

Take my hand and let me be your guidance
The truth lies 'neath a fake reality
For my people I'm the lantern in the night
Let my light also shine for thee

Jealousy and greed
What is left, when just power is divine?
Pride and vanity
I just can't treat the world as mine

Violence and strife
Can't teach salvation by the sword
Death preferred to life
Can't call a mangled corpse my Lord

From my mind's sanctuary, the outside world seems wrong to me
The wheel of life and death seems twisted to necromancy
Cannot comply much longer to the way my life had been
For once I know the truth, an Enigma within

For a gypsies' eyes a track was lain in secret
Disguised to those who're blinded by their zeal
Follow the Black Madonna's northbound trail
Beneath the dark soil secrets will unveil

Soon our time will come
Beneath the surface there's a stir
You're not the only one
Soon faint ripples will occur
Those who follow me
Until the rising of the tide
Hold faith in secrecy
When all deceit is swept aside

What you can't beat in strength, you slowly have to infiltrate
Like it was done before, their symbols you assimilate
A mask of piety well conceals an ancient origin
A silent Enigma, the Enigma within

From deepest solitude her voice roused me to wake
They might oppress me, but what's in my mind they cannot take
There's still a way to keep alive the truth what once had been
For my still beating heart now keeps the Enigma within

A secret to reveal
I leave my lonely hermitage
The death throes of a god
Shall dawn the coming age

What you can't beat in strength, you slowly have to infiltrate
Like it was done before, their symbols you assimilate
A mask of piety well conceals an ancient origin
A silent Enigma, the Enigma within
