Monasterium
So many souls, they cry from yore <br/> Numberless and woebegone <br/> They err in limbo, a futile toil <br/> Their bones are crumbling deep in the soil <br/> <br/> Still so far from firmament <br/> Wherein salvation is still to be dreamt <br/> <br/> Amid the thrones of heaven <br/> Their prayer wasn't heard <br/> A lost offering of life <br/> And blood of the saints <br/> <br/> Adorned in Scarlet, Babylon whore <br/> Is drunk with martyrs blood <br/> Their martyrdom has sanctified <br/> Altars made of gold <br/> <br/> Upon their mounds the beast was born <br/> Behold its filth and seven horns <br/> <br/> Amid the thrones of heaven <br/> Their prayer wasn't heard <br/> A lost offering of life <br/> And blood of the saints <br/> <br/> I pray for the eyes to see <br/> I beg for the wits to know <br/> To discern the rightful path <br/> And set myself upon <br/> <br/> I wash my soul with blood <br/> I wear the crown of thorns <br/> To consecrate my sacrifice <br/> To sit among the holy ones <br/> <br/> Upon their mounds the beast was born <br/> Behold its filth and seven horns <br/> <br/> Amid the thrones of heaven <br/> Their prayer wasn't heard <br/> A lost offering of life <br/> And blood of the saints <br/> <br/> Amid the thrones of heaven <br/> Their prayer wasn't heard <br/> A lost offering of life <br/> And blood of the saints

I look upon your lives so thwarted <br/> Greatness promised but never achieved <br/> Essence of being blemished with awe <br/> Besotted mob with grace foregone <br/> <br/> There will be no redemption <br/> No solace and no refuge <br/> Stars will not align for us <br/> We have paid obeisance to a foul phantasm <br/> <br/> I'm not a misbeliever <br/> Yet You want to see me burn <br/> You all are blinded in your zeal <br/> You are the devil's tool <br/> So benighted in your deeds <br/> So I'm a hundredfold cursed <br/> <br/> My hermitage, my harbour of otherness <br/> My asceticism, my heresy <br/> I fled from unendurable sophistry <br/> From bereft jesters wallowing in duplicity <br/> <br/> We are such indolent heirs <br/> Always deaf for prophet's words <br/> Burning pyre against the wisdom's torch <br/> Our ancestry traces from the void <br/> <br/> I'm not a misbeliever <br/> Yet You want to see me burn <br/> You all are blinded in your zeal <br/> You are the devil's tool <br/> So benighted in your deeds <br/> So I'm a hundredfold cursed

Still not appeased, still teaching his deceitful ways <br/> We're in procession of the golden calf <br/> The time is short and he is aware that he is lost <br/> He smashed the heel but he will lose his head and tongue <br/> <br/> We see the world is falling down, down into the fire <br/> The burning guts filled with putridity <br/> We're feeding Moloch's hunger, we broke all the commandments <br/> Can we atone, can we reverse our path? <br/> <br/> He masquerades himself, in order to fulfill his goal <br/> He is disguised as the angel of light <br/> Manifold ways to divert us from the narrow gate <br/> Straight to the wider road which leads to certain hell <br/> <br/> We see the world is falling down, down into the fire <br/> The burning guts filled with putridity <br/> We're feeding Moloch's hunger, we broke all the commandments <br/> Can we atone, can we reverse our path?
