Iced Earth

Band: Iced Earth

Song: Order of the Rose

Album: Framing Armageddon

Lyrics:

Passed down through centuries

The order lives and feeds upon them

A global fraternity

Philanthropy, tactical deception

In plain sight throughout all time

Contriving human decline

Instilling those who lead

Seizing opportunities

Rise of Setian Evocation

And the order thrives

So the day arrives of his birth

Rise of Setian Evocation

And the order lives for the day

Of mans coming curse

Create divisive creeds

Embrace the fact man needs religion

Prophets, saviors and priests

All convinced they have the answers

The truth is they'll never know

Behind faith, they'll hide and hope

We'll build them a martyr son

Sacrificial lamb, the holy one

Rise of Setian Evocation

And the order thrives

So the day arrives of his birth

Rise of Setian Evocation

And the order lives for the day

Of mans coming curse

The object of their divide

So convinced their way is right

The narrow view of all mankind

In the name of God, they will divide

Rise of Setian Evocation

And the order thrives

So the day arrives of his birth

Rise of Setian Evocation

And the order lives for the day

Of mans coming curse

@METAL4TheWORLD666 That race still exists. They've kept their bloodlines very pure. They have throughout the ages found many ways to control people and religion was by far the most successful.

@s0cietysreject Its about a race who created religion to break up Humans and make them weak

A song about the ancient mystery schools that have survived in elite tradition and culminated the Illuminati that rules from the shadows today. I love how this song highlights the role of religion in it all.
