Naysayer

(album: Rituals Of Power - 2019)

Naysaying scum, betrayer of truth
You will never know, "the truth" of your... deceit
A scarecrow, that burns itself down
Naysaying scum, you interloping infiltrators

Vice and virtue, the same for a Naysayer
The Scorning Naysayer, the Swarming Naysayers
Quick to judge and run, a sadist on the prowl

The Icon grotesque, an eater of the dead
You feast on hope and world-weary flesh
On castaways, on masses dispossessed
You Naysaying beast, your vanity, an amulet of death

Vice and virtue, the same for a Naysayer
The Scorning Naysayer, the Swarming Naysayers
Quick to judge and run, a sadist on the prowl

A petulant child inept, and mired in punishment
You are the one that history will soon forget
Naysayer namenlos, like vermin swept from city streets
Agent provocateur
As you speak under the sands of time
Your spew and spite and spit all reeks of servitude

Vice and virtue, the same for a Naysayer
The Scorning Naysayer, the Swarming Naysayers
Quick to judge and run, a sadist on the prowl
