lyrics

I have sought to understand
Your contempt for Man,
Your dissent from the truth lies in

This rejection of your
Deepest cravings
Has distorted your idea of me,

The ways we adapt
Don't conform to the shapes
Imagined by our flawed logic,
Reality perceived through shades,

In our imaginary conception
Of an external yet flawless
Structure above the material
The ends justify the means,

The truth lies before our very eyes,
The material reality, the base that builds
The superstructure of mystic rules
That deceives and blinds our stranded will,

A longing for meaning doesn't mean anything
As long as your fears dictate what you cling
To in order to satisfy your anguish and grief,
Since ideas alone shall provide no relief,

Too much self-hatred can twist your own image
As well as the idea of our race,
The things that you find in common with us
Lie buried beneath a pessimistic heart.

Long have I walked
Alone in vast crowds,
Left out from life,
Unable to cry out,

I saw through these regrets,
Refused to let them
Carve their essence
Upon my conscience,

The loss that I felt
Now seems so distant,
My own will to help
Now needs no reason.

I leave this vessel,
My soul clean and light,
My mind now at ease,
No more grief to fight.

Your obsession with laws
Made you deny new truths,
Scrambling to find distinction from fools,

Yet we are all the same,
Peasant and king,
Killer and saint,
Brief human beings.
