Rooted deep in our captured shells
The ancient mind of all evil
Applying pressure to lock the doors
And taint the well of potential
With sickening genius and grand strategy
Our species fell into bewilderment
Then to awaken with vacant eyes
Lost in this dream of false embodiment
Suffer the rush of fear
Bury the threatening emptiness
Deify the perpetrators
Enthrone and crown their wretched crimes
Cradle acceptance and then forget
The majesty of greater times
The birthright of self-loathing
Spiraling strands of twisted charm
Inhaled breath, hallucinogens
Consumption of thought suppressants
Primal glory screams to be freed
But only heard as distant echoes
With sickening genius and grand strategy
Our species fell into bewilderment
Then to awake with vacant eyes
Lost in this dream of false embodiment
Hollow, cold, and devoid
Clinging to simply existing
Deify the perpetrators
Enthrone and crown their wretched crimes
Cradle acceptance and then forget
The majesty of greater times
The birthright of self-loathing
Spiraling strands of twisted charm
Usurpation of the experience
Supplanting “the-knowing” left disarmed
The hollow host unconscious
Awaits primal commands
Clawing for survival
The instinct it demands
Patterns of thought, strands of feeling
Harnessed with intent to harm
Feeding on pain, gorging on fear
Misery’s energy the goal collective
The hollow host unconscious
Awaits primal commands
Clawing for survival
The instinct it demands
Malignant notion and temptation
Deforms the treasure of the archetype
Each passing pulse a punishment
An ageless lie that never dies
With sickening genius and grand strategy
Our species fell into bewilderment
Then to awaken with vacant eyes
Lost in this dream of false embodiment
Ignore the fact that something’s wrong
Just suffer the beaten path
Deify the perpetrators
Enthrone and crown their wretched crimes
Cradle acceptance and then forget
The majesty of greater times
The birthright of self loathing
Spiraling strands of twisted charm
Usurpation of the experience
Supplanting “the-knowing” left disarmed
