The Dominion - Lyrics - Painface

Painface formed in late 1997 after Andrew Rouw departed from Slipknot earlier that year. The band worked on an untitled demo EP between 1998-1999 for which fans adopted the name "On A Pale Horse", which later also included recordings from 2001. Later on in 1999 they recorded their first full-length album, FleshCraft. In 2001 the band significantly altered their line-up, changing name to "On A Pale Horse" and soon stopped being associated with Painface, being considered a different band.

Hey! I can hear them calling out through oceans of blackened skies. I see the pain in their eyes. Forced into submission. I’ll lay the offering at your feet, but before I do- I’ll take the bones out and let them bleach beneath the sun. There’s no one to lick my wounds. The dead can see my dreams. When will the lost be returned? When will there be concern? Where are the voices that guide? How come they’re not on my side? The seconds defy me. The light dies inside me. Crushed under the weight. Dead souls are hard to create. There‘s no one to hear my cries. The dead see through my eyes. I fill my cup so full of agony-it tastes like home. Screaming flesh now sings the song for me. Taking off the cloak that hides. Inner-self, my darker side. All the pieces are in place. Time to let the scales dry. Open your eyes and witness my millennium. Step into line and be part of my dominion. Fall to your knees and feel all the power come. Step out of line and be one with oblivion. Dominion.
