lyrics

Tear down your martyrs and fall
For absolution in grievance
Acquittal, reprieve
Forsaking cultures unknown
With zealotry unrepentant
Imperium dei crucifixion

Credo ex nihilo
Spawned the plagues that torture the soul
With benediction
The chains fall into place

ODIN! ARES! POSEIDON!
ROMA! PARI! ATHENA!
THOR! OSIRIS! FREYA!

This false empire
The pantheon of lies
This false empire
Bleeds into me
Arise from thy slumber
From whence didst thou bow?
This false empire
legatum manet in aeternum

Reading perceptions of reality
Through the pupils of the blind
Nailed down
Between the realm
Of physical and mental machinations
Behold the monolith of existence

This cage of mine
It's yours too
It holds no truth
Wildness thunders, feels the stinging whip
Clawing hands reach from incarceration
Domesticated
The mask of docility slips
I relish in your ugliness
Can you relish in mine?
Face your freedom with a willing smile?
Or bow
Bone framed bars
They caterwaul
Higher, higher raise
This false empire

In the halls of the oppressors
I bow to disobedience
And coil with trepidation
Forever cast and reside in shadow

Ignorance is what we feed the mind
While the body blindly pursues
Depravity of the flesh
A broken mechanism of feudal cognition

In a perpetual mental quest
through an abyss of mirrors
If only reflections held answers
If only introspection brought joy

Instead of knives in the dark
Constellations shift with every blink
While every stare stares back empty

The aether withers
And aeons fade
Until the void in between the stars
Enlightens the last

Enforcing perceptions of reality
Through the pupils of the blind
Nailed down
Between the realms
Behold the monolith of existence
Held with the feeble hands of beggars
