lyrics

His eyes scan the scenery
Desolation, starvation, mainly corpses remain
Attempting to find his enemy
To knife the heart of symbiosis
He has lost his family
Sacrifice of the will of the adversary
Now he searches for the cause of the struggle
To knife the heart of symbiosis
To beat to death the essence
Cleanse the collective mind
Purify loves conflagration
Reset all time
“If it burns you then it will burn me
It must leave for all eternity
Even though these things cycle back into place
I must see the future freely”
“I gave you everything, gave you brightness
Saved you from yourself and your blindness
You repaid me, betrayed me, plotted against me
All for fear of much needed slavery?”
“Now kneel!
Pray, beg for mercy at the expense of all who may ever live”
Now finding his creator
His knife first finds his throat
He has lost his everything
Sacrificed for self sufficiency
Now he searches for the life of the struggle
To knife the heart of symbiosis
To beat to death the essence
Cleanse the collective mind
Purify loves conflagration
Reset all time
