lyrics

Drenched in invisible blood and begging for freedom of self
Just another victim of commodity with no reason to fear nature
Absorbed in a nurturing abyss, one where pain cannot persist
Constant defensiveness of a moral revisionist
He who gave light to the future-less
Seeing things that cannot be seen
Allowed fear to turn to belief
And ask for forgiveness of deeds
That cannot be obscene.
Ripe fruit for the malnourished
Something else to consume
Yet even there, where most were starving
A new tree with new seeds would bloom
He who would resist the light
Adversarial knowledge in the mind of the man
Who once sought to be led by the brightness
Embraced pain, stopped begging for freedom of self
And gave birth to a darkened self likeness
Birth of a shadow took place on a mountain
Where the enlightened man lived in secrecy
Forsaking the future-less, he turned his back
Realized their need for obedience
