The Burden Ov Faith

Come forth destruction Pull down the pillars ov theocracy A system ov hated traditions Spewed forth from crooked smiles Demanding atop unscrupulous towers Preaching servitude The tyrant powers that be are the enemy Lay waste to the faithful flock Purge the world ov pietism Excorticate the husk Unshroud, display the symphony ov ruin Bonds ov enslavement must be broken All the years spent in a grand phantasm (Ascend and eclipse the light) Ascend and eclipse the light Hand in hand, rupture the divine Lay bare, unearth all the shame Hidden in plain sight Ascend and eclipse the light Hand in hand, rupture the divine Lay bare, unearth all the shame Hidden in plain sight Ascend and eclipse the light Dig up the foundations stained in rot Nullify and obliterate Swallow up all that’s left ov the cultus (Rise) (Rise) Rise Defy the vade mecum Ascend and eclipse the light Hand in hand, rupture the divine Lay bare, unearth all the shame Hidden in plain sight Ascend and eclipse the light Hand in hand, rupture the design Lay bare, unearth all the shame Hidden in plain sight Ascend and eclipse the light Procure the bones ov the christ Incite the desecration Let them bare witness to The end ov everything They’ve known for their lives And now they see it die For every persecuted heretic Vengeance Ill will Hatred Eye for an eye

Surrounded by those forever untrue It’s so easy to get lost in the crowd ov deceit These hands constantly reaching towards you Knives hidden within, hate behind praise The voice that lifts you up hungers for eternal damnation They long to see you fail They crave your undoing Those eyes set upon ruin With each step pulling ground from under your feet Sifting through, lost in a sea ov contempt I find myself surrounded by this false front Oppugners inept Faces ov malice eclipsed in adoration Uplifting flock yearning devourment With each word ov praise they covet devolution Behold thyne deceit They long to see you fail They crave your undoing Those eyes set up ruin With each step pulling ground from under your feet Sifting through, lost in a sea ov contempt I find myself surrounded by this false front Oppungers inept Sifting through, lost in a sea ov contempt I find myself surrounded by this false front Oppungers inept Sifting through, lost in a sea ov contempt I find myself surrounded by this false front Oppungers inept Sifting through, lost in a sea ov contempt I find myself surrounded by this false front Oppungers inept They long to see me fail Fakes line the path The liars’ sweet deceit Unfolds the envy Dead hollow eyes No sign ov virtue Fakes line the path The liars’ sweet deceit Unfolds the envy Dead hollow eyes No sign ov virtue

Die Die Die Die I stood at the end ov it all and drank from the cup ov truth The infinite appeared to me This understanding that's shaken everything I knew Unraveling the illusion ov importance Anything you fought for All the things you've lived through Everything you'll die for It's all meaningless Anything you fought for All the things you've lived through Everything you'll die for It's all meaningless I take solace in knowing the darkness before us will be unchanged By the fires ov our death Faith is ignorance ov man That is not a gift It's worthless in the end It's worthless in the end Anything you fought for All the things you've lived through Everything you'll die for It's all meaningless Anything you fought for All the things you've lived through Everything you'll die for It's all meaningless Insignificant existence Arrogance, we thought life meant more But we can't handle truth, into the void Into the void Crawl into the hole I know it's not inevitable We fester in a vat ov filth We sink away I can sense the bastards moving with uncertainty Helplessly here suffering Searching for some vacancy Swallow me whole and die Anything you fought for All the things you've lived through Everything you'll die for It's all meaningless Anything you fought for All the things you've lived through Everything you'll die for It's all meaningless Anything you fought for All the things you've lived through Everything you'll die for It's all meaningless It's all meaningless It's all meaningless (Meaningless) (It's all meaningless)

The sky above is cloaked in endless dark Ashes, once life, coat the lungs ov all those in sight What a foul stench—that ov charred innocence Calamitous This jealousy, this rage personified in accusers Envious eyes Lay blame Vilify Every breath that leaves their lips condemns another life So much loss All those that witnessed the suffering Horrid torture spawned from jealousy A plague ov those with god in their eyes All those that witnessed the suffering Horrid torture spawned from jealousy A plague ov those with god in their eyes Tied atop the pyre convicted without a sense ov reason Falsely judged and purified they set them all ablaze The ground littered with remains The ground littered with remains All wrongfully taken in vain They’re thought to serve the higher But all they care for is themselves Narcissistic prophet Hellbent on torturous obedience The flesh burnt from their bones As they cried out in agony Century brought century This plethora ov inconceivable horror Complete families destroyed in the wake ov orthodoxy Obliteration from hate Hate from fear Fear from difference All those that witnessed the suffering Horrid torture spawned from jealousy A plague ov those with god in their eyes All those that witnessed the suffering Horrid torture spawned from jealousy A plague ov those with god in their eyes They watched them burn They watched them die They watched the burn They watched them die The ground is soiled (soiled) With the death ov circumstance They watched them burn They watched them die They watched them burn They watched them die

What kind ov god would test a child? I’ve witnessed them die far too young to suffer Seen the skin turn gray as the life leaves their eyes I’ve begged and pleaded above and below To take the place ov those in tribulation This feeling has birthed my disbelief There’s nothing to provide any comfort Liars continue preaching with stained tongues We’re told it’s all part ov the plan Blinded by this forced loyalty This forced loyalty I’ve searched this life for answers I’ve waited for a miracle I’ve prayed and prayed Constantly fallen to my knees Begging for divine intervention But nothing responds to me What kind ov god would test a child? I’ve watched them wither away Far too young Body and mind wide awake Slipping into decay Why would they be forced to endure such pain? I see now I have nothing to give For no one’s in control And god and faith mean nothing What kind ov god would test a child? I’ve witnessed them die far too young to suffer See the skin turn gray as the life leaves their eyes I’ve witnessed them die far too young to suffer Deus Est Mendacium
