Our bodies are prisons for our souls Our flesh and blood The iron bars of confinement

Insignificant one Your life Your life A single brush stroke In the great unfinished work Your life Your life A single brush stroke Humanity is a phase And fuck for all we know She's seen it all before The toad and the whore Blind to their end Our mother will spin Let her lack of a voice be heard Our winter sparks the spring Life for the rest We came And left ruin and waste All withering in our wake Now we pass A return to the natural order Wasted time will be consumed Our "achievements" undone She will reclaim what is hers There will be nothing left to dig for

Taken in by the great one Indoctrinated from day one Chosen and made to believe Testimonies and actions unseen Soak it all in Eager acolyte with a grin Accepting word as law Never thinking beyond the wall History is written by the victor Texts deemed holy Fallacies made true One may see beyond the veil Bear witness to what lies below Years of service Some pleasing Some foul More and more as time goes on Revealing the beast beneath the cowl A day comes the beast is seen Cry out to spread the truth But the blissful ignorant think it mean Alone in hate Alone in the real Surrounded by vermin who refuse to feel It cannot be conquered It cannot be changed It cannot be conquered It cannot be changed It will not be changed It will not be conquered It will not be changed Reality is perception And perception is to blame
