lyrics

manifest destiny
dogmatic fantasy
7 trumpets fall on 12 deaf ears
moral constructs of one bad day
fall to ambiguity
futility of human existence
fictionalized morality

the punishment for truth
is what gives impunity
to those that lie
to forge the will of those who dwell above

new sights of torment
new sights beneath
behold unsightly beast
oh have i been here before?

mid-scorned and nightmares
self induced propelled
seeking out unsightly lairs
where truth and torment were once held
father appear in vengeful form
as we sought devotion
creating wind and storm

sharp tongues were severed
renounce verses took his toll
drunk with desire to feast on their control
a glance above the abyss
sought a challenge, he’d remiss
like calmed whore, seated in front row
branded, abhorred

i need to you to tell me what paradise is like
for i'm starting to forget
without the tools to sense abstract truths
objectively defined and cultural absolutes
seeded thought of what was real
how i yearn what it is to feel
without structure in this kneel
with his tongue now estranged
from their prayers, in a rage
left his bitter clout unassuaged

and yet, his demise drew near
as he held no fear
stood his ground up to his peers
and he slayed whom they revered
he slayed whom they revered

ever fading creative, baited without sin
where true colors blight and jagged from within
wherein first dawn cried, when she burned alive
held out my disdain for prophet’s name in vain

without the tools to sense abstract truths
objectively defined and cultural absolutes
seeded thought of what was real
how i yearn what it is to feel
without structure in this kneel
with his tongue now estranged
from their prayers, in a rage left his bitter clout unassuaged
unsightly beast, sleep

collateral dissonance of a thriving society
or of a dying empire?
of a dying empire

the tell on their face says all goodness spent
deprive the beast from the least innocent
dusk in cold and cloudless skies
self eject where tender fruit denies
they explain
his hearts they are to drain in pain

now who’s to blame?
oh thriving shepherd
release those you contort
distort my senses misreport
unsound lost fury’s
for those extort
trying to figure out
what you stood for

ever fading creative, baited without sin
where true colors blight and jagged from within
wherein first dawn cried, when she burned alive
held out my disdain for prophet’s name in vain

abhorred re-torn
in beauty where malice wept
entwined in storms
whose throne benights across these shores

abhorred re-torn
frail beauty where malice crept entwined in storms
whose throne obliged to demon form have i been here before?
i have
