I am a keeper but for the mantra of my deception
On these dead fields I stray throughout this earthly Hades
Pariah icon reflecting the core of decadence
Compelled by deathlike devotion, scum to some, nothing for the rest
The practice never seems to reach what could be preached
To comprehend the rot of reason you conduct this malady
Perceived by many but worthy only in the eyes of your own
What is man but to fall to the arms of his brothers?
"Race of Cain! Storm up the sky and cast God down the earth!"
Condemned and wandering
My blood cries out to be drawn
This mirage of forgiveness
Differs not from the crimes of mine
Mirage of forgiveness
Your divine delirium!
For forty nights I have walked, searhed with a feverish pace
The end you denied from me, but yet again you hide your face!
Condemned and wandering
My blood cries out to be drawn
This mirage of forgiveness
Differs not from the crimes of mine
