A Leap of Faith

from Consort Of The Dying God by Goat Of Mendes

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Entitled "CONSORT OF THE DYING GOD", Goat Of Mendes present their first complete concept album with a playing time of nearly 70 minutes.
    Inspired by the annual Gypsy celebration for their saint Sara la Kali in Saintes Maries de la Mer, GOM have woven a fascinating story around ancient gypsy faith and legends, dark secrets of early Christianity and the very essence of being a Pagan.

    GOM have enriched their already unique style by integrating elements of hungarian and romanian folklore and haunting gypsy scales.
    Apart from this, the new record of course still features crunching, yet melodic twin guitar work, thunderous drumming, awesome leads and variable, charismatic vocals.

lyrics

A Leap of Faith

I cut off my roots, leave my past life behind
And pack all my bags to wander
Just like Hans in Luck, a lump of gold on my back
Which like the weight of the world drags me under

A small figure of wood changed my ideals for good
It’s not always the truth what is written
What majorities say might encapsulate a lie
One must dig deep to unearth what was hidden

Refrain
A leap of faith is all it takes to leave your past life far behind
To jump the cliff might break your back, and pain and suffering you’d find
But still a soft spot down below might save you from an early grave
Sometimes it’s worth to be a fool and bold and happily take the leap of faith!

Men of wealth, might and power in their sky-soaring towers
Mock their slave creatures begging to suffer and serve
If it’s true that Satan presides life here on Earth
Then he had certainly proven a great manager’s worth

What is real might be black, what they fear for god’s sake
They won’t change it, if they just paint it up white
The plain truth remains real, despite of bolt, lock and seal
You might not see it, but it still exists in your mind

Refrain
A leap of faith is all it takes to find the truth for which you crave
Tread on the Fool’s path to the unknown, use your mind and take the leap of faith!

Solo


You poor, little dreamer, you desperate fool
In your gambling you forfeit your immortal soul
You decline father’s arms for the feminine kin
Who, as the holy book cites, are the Mothers of Sin!

Give up luxury and mirth for Him of virginal birth
To draw your ticket for the Halls of Hereafter
Just a strong Father’s arm helps in this world of harm
Women cannot be gods, just your servant and mother!

Refrain
A leap of faith is all it takes to find the truth for which you crave
Tread on the Fool’s path to the unknown, use your mind and take the leap of faith!

I’ve decided my fate, the Fool’s path has been laid
I choose the way of Moon Mother and Sun
To understand what is sacred, I have to strip my mind naked
Start anew, make my past life undone

On my quest for the grail, I’ll follow Black Sara’s trail
For the black earth, fertile and nutritious
I’ll rediscover the sun, which for millennia was gone
And there’s no Lord to cross my ambitions!

I cut off my roots, left my past life behind
On the path of Old Faith I now follow
The Fool’s Gold on my back, I trade for wisdom and luck
What means wealth, if your life is just hollow?

A small figure of wood changed my ideals for good
I will track down the truth that is hidden
Of the consort, not servant, of the Dying God
That still hides, by the Father forbidden

Refrain
A leap of faith is all it takes to find the truth for which you crave
Tread on the Fool’s path to the unknown, use your mind and take the leap of faith!
