Aim Not At The Kingdom High Lyrics
From the horizons of GodThe angel beholds our world in flamesAnd the crowds who rejoiceIn both pleasure and painHer heart is filled with tearsHeavy as wings of the raven darkFor her father the lod forbade herTo taste the appleThat fell to the groundFor all the pleasures of heaven are shallowThough eternalI would trade this for a dayAmong the mortalsFor just a dayI would sacrifice all that was given to meMy whitest wings, my faithAnd my virginity, so take my soulBlacken my wings and let the gatesof light be forever closedMortals - open your armsAnd greet me with what never wasGiven to meInitiate me into all that wasHidden from meMy hunger is insatiable, my wish for fireIs deeper than the skiesAnd like with fallen angels we will ruinAll that is trying to hold us backVirgin maidens are to be engagedIn the obligations to those of the damnedAnd the angel prayedTo ascend in our worldAs she was given to the flamesFor we are not the children of GodAnd we aim not at the kingdom highAll that is divine is to be deadAnd all that ever was is in declineFor shallow are the pleasures of GodAnd I aim not at the kingdom high"So give me painTeach me to know myself againFor self-denial is the normOn which all my thoughtsAnd indentity was formedSo show me painFulfill all my dreamsThat have been veiled in vainFor my blood and my veins are of sinAnd my soul has been sold so show me pain"
