How wise the God who trades his son for lesser men
Who seek no temple, only avarice and permanence
Judge not the heart, but thy devotion
Keep those who remain
As close to salvation as to destitution

I can't explain what it means to be whole
You took that virtue away from me
A kingdom adorned with the thorns of thy idol
Who scorn the breath of truth and reason

We cannot pretend
That the rules are the same
For the blasphemer and the saint, the blasphemer and the saint
We cannot pretend
That the rules are the same
For the commoner and the priest, the commoner and the priest
The toils I've endured are so far beyond meaning
There is no greater voice, only tenets and blood-stained stones

Your archaism dies this day
You are but the shadow of a lie
Feeble and brittle like silence
Bending the fear of earnest held faith
You took the world from us
From cracked and sullen hands
As hope slipped through our fingers
And sank beneath the sands

Fire sows the fire
Wrath rends retribution
Effigies casting shadows
Likening tyrants to deities
Befelling monuments
To prove hence from this day
What's written in stone
Can crumble to dust

To what end was I made this way
If my nature is a transgression

I cannot build myself up again
To watch myself fall apart at the seams
I cannot walk if I'm destined to fall
Through trials by design of cruelty and hate

You are so frail
You hide behind your fear
Your faith is a mask for your insecurity
And you wield it like a sword

Summoning the flood, the call of the raging seas
Apollyon's wake before the world
We ache, we fear and we suffer for naught
Undue and unjust is the the folly of Christ
Transient echoes from a long lost era
Cannot conceive my fate

I suffer the want for a better world
And the need for compassion in terrible times
Great is my weakness to punish myself for
A love forbidden by those who bore me
Behind the weight of this cage of bones
Is a heart that sinks at the sights of greed
Of a Lord who damns his beloved creation
For sins he determined his sons to commit

I cannot pretend
That I am the same
As I once was
As I once was

If dreams lie in tatters
And a soul knows no purpose
What can I hope for
What can I live for

There was a time where
I could forgive
But I've lost so much
So fucking much

I hate that I hate
As it brings me closer to you
I am not what I am
I am not what I am

I am so lost in this place
These vast surroundings compel me to dread
As I sink within myself
Forging an irrepassable path
I can't regret what I feel is just
I am one with the sword you held to me
Reflection in the steel

I am not what I am
Forged and contorted
I am what I am
Forged and contorted
