Dereliction Lyrics

Your lore was sold to me

As the fulcrum of all strength

Fairytales to brighten up

A mostly bleak and dreary life

Uncertainties astride the path

They reap your soul and namesake

As grand as they are fleeting

A dead landscape seamless blend

Try as you might

You cannot deny

The white dove only thrives

For those you can not buy

How long can you play this role?

How many lies can you overlook?

How long can you sell this faith in

A vicious god, designed to kill

Faith is thrown into a bonfire

No discernment from the weakened soul

Expensive tickets about to sell out

For an army of oblivious oafs

False path

Vultures leading to a blinded oath

The wicked one comes to bury your soul

Biding time to hide as he claims to enlight

Your lies will be judged

And life will be taken

False revelations pouring from

Freshly cut wounds

Shackled bond in fear

Lonely rolling tear

Down the face of an impious prophet

Slowly growing sheer

Tapestry of sneers

Faceless grins taken over by shadows

Shackled bond in war

Slowly burning stars

No enlightenment without dereliction

No enlightenment without dereliction

No enlightenment without dereliction

No enlightenment without

Commandments

For most to behold

Breeding ire, wandering souls

Commandments

For some to control

Breathing fire, ecstasy of gold

Internment

Stranglehold

A chain of thoughts, delayed, afloat

Bereavement

For none to oppose

Fearing god, for they shall repose

No enlightenment without dereliction

Everything built to keep you inside

No enlightenment without dereliction

No enlightenment

All aspects of life interpreted by

A gaping maw who feeds on raw

Icons to weave infinities

Where lies are sired and in white, baptized

As you close

The curtains

On your mind's

Eye

You may feel

Safe

As the icons

Sediment

The universe

Speaks

In a tongue

Unknown

They will claim

To know

Hypocrisy's

Abode
