The Evangelist - Memory Garden

From nowhere he came

No-one knew of his name

Indoctrinated those with ignorant minds

Righteous were his words, and calming his smile

Obscured though, his intentions…

Healed the sick, and craved nothing in return

Raised the dead

Cast the demons out of their heads

Just a hearsay, nothing true

But convinced them all

Gathered his army so well

Thought they were saved…

«Hear me when I’m calling»

Was he first commandment from the evangelist

«Sacrifice your lives for me

Receive a greater spiritual reward»

Turned them into marionettes of faith, so unaware

Their longed-for rise was their fall

There was no light, to offer guidance for those souls

Lost their sight, all blinded by authority

No water turned to wine

Miracles were never to be seen

The sky could have fallen

It wouldn’t have changed anything at all

They built his empire

Stone by stone, grave by grave

«Heresy must not prevail»
