Unattained

(앨범: Empire Of The Obscene - 2008)

Righteousness reaching out cunning hands
Molding minds of the meek
Mind-fucked by the hope of a promised land
Unattained; reward not received

A pious purpose, automated response
A synthetic, sympathetic reaction
In sheltered simplicity emotions are lost
To dispassionate stupefaction

An innocent indoctrination, numbing mind-conversion
Thoughts beaten down while spirit drowns in ignorance immersion

Abandon all hope, see, feel, hear and taste nothing
Within and without, surrounded by suffering
Deliver me from my senses

Spurn the consolation of religion
And illusions of immortality
When your savor eternal suffering
Purged, purified, you'll be set free

Desperately I seek truth
From thoughts running through my mind
Striving forward with baited breath
I reach for what it hides

An innocent indoctrination, numbing mind-conversion
Thoughts beaten down while spirit drowns in ignorance immersion

Abandon all hope, see, feel, hear and taste nothing
Within and without, surrounded by suffering
Deliver me from my senses
