Lord of Light Lyrics
There are secrets that you keep
There are secrets that you keep
There are secrets that you tell to me alone
I can't reach things I can't see
You don't see this strange world
quite the same as me
Don't deny me what I am
Nothing hidden still you fail to see the truth
These are things you can't reveal
These are things you can't reveal
We are part of some strange plan
Why the slaughter of the brotherhood of man
Infernal sacrifice of hell
Fire breathing lead the way
Mounds of bodies as they all burn into one
Revenge is living in the past
Time to look into a new millennium
Spiral path leads through the maze
Down into the fiery underworld below
Fire breathing lead the way
Lucifer was just an angel led astray
Free your soul and let it fly
Give your life to the Lord of Light
Keep your secrets and rain on me
All I see are mysteries
Free your soul and let it fly
Give your life to the Lord of Light
Keep your secrets and rain on me
All I see are mysteries
We are not worthy in your black
and blazing eyes
We gather demons in the mirror every day
The bridge of darkness casts a
shadow on us all
And all our sins to you we give this day
Others wait their turn
their lives were meant to last
Use yours wisely as the light is fading fast
Free your soul and let it fly
Mine was caught I couldn't try
Time returns again to punish all of us
We are cast out by our bloody father's hand
We are strangers in this lonely promised land
We are the shadows of the one unholy ghost
In our nightmare world the only one we trust
SOLO
Free your soul and let it fly
Give your life to the Lord of Light
Keep your secrets and rain on me
All I see are mysteries
Free your soul and let it fly
Give your life to the Lord of Light
Keep your secrets and rain on me
All I see are mysteries
There are secrets that you keep
There are secrets that you tell to me alone
I can't reach things I can't see
You don't see this strange world
quite the same as me
Don't deny me what I am
Nothing hidden still you fail to see the truth
These are things you can't reveal
Why the slaughter of the brotherhood of man
Infernal sacrifice of hell
Fire breathing lead the way
Mounds of bodies as they all burn into one
Revenge is living in the past
Time to look into a new millennium
Down into the fiery underworld below
Fire breathing lead the way
Lucifer was just an angel led astray
Give your life to the Lord of Light
Keep your secrets and rain on me
All I see are mysteries
Give your life to the Lord of Light
Keep your secrets and rain on me
All I see are mysteries
and blazing eyes
We gather demons in the mirror every day
The bridge of darkness casts a
shadow on us all
And all our sins to you we give this day
their lives were meant to last
Use yours wisely as the light is fading fast
Free your soul and let it fly
Mine was caught I couldn't try
Time returns again to punish all of us
We are strangers in this lonely promised land
We are the shadows of the one unholy ghost
In our nightmare world the only one we trust
Give your life to the Lord of Light
Keep your secrets and rain on me
All I see are mysteries
Give your life to the Lord of Light
Keep your secrets and rain on me
All I see are mysteries

"Lord of Light" is a collection of related short stories by Roger Zelazny, telling a larger story focusing on a messiah/god-figure called Mahasamatman.
Mahasamatman (or 'Sam') leads a campaign against the established gods of the world.
About Lucifer and how, maybe, he's not such a bad guy and God could have given him a bad deal... Anyway fantastic song!
''Lucifer'' literally means ''the Light-Bringer''. It was a word that was used on Venus, and was a name of hope, wamrth and light. However, during the Middle-Ages, the Catholic Church made all pegan, heathen and folk religions ''satanism'' in order to control the people.
Just a fun fact^
Great song anway, a classic Maiden-Gallop!
So Catholics are bad and Lucifer is good...wow, now I get it - thanks reumeren you make it all so simple to understand
childrenofthenight has got it. its about the lord of light, Lucifer.
I agree that this song is about the Devil but it also deals with revalations. Where it says"Time to look into a new millennium." In the bible it says the god will live on earth for a thousand years and the devil and all the evil people will be in hell. So it talks about what the underworld will loook like. Like bodies burning into one and the stairway to hell and stuff.
I agree more with IronBlack. It definetly sounds like that more than the other theory.
Doesn't matter WHAT it's about. It's badass. Simple as that. Reminds me a bit of Caught Somewhere in Time, can't deny that, right?

@ reumeren, I wouldn't put it like that :P The roman church is pretty much the same as the old religion of babylon, same leaders, same stories, but with other names, but same astrological symbolics lying underneath. And the bible is not in favor of those dark religions. The followers of those religions were often the enemies of Gods people. Like the legacy of Kain and so, which were often referred to as Giants or reptilians.
Watch the making of 'a matter of life and death', which came with most of the cds. Bruce explains that the song is about the life and intensions of Lucifer.
Lucifer literally meanings 'The Light-Bringer'.
The Lord of Light is one of many names that Lucifer is known by.
