The Mortal Compass

All these people staring blind into deceit The liars at the door, and a demon where you sleep Raping the mind of the population Peel the parasite from your eye Castrating those who don't care to listen Then they'll never have to speak a word These flawed fallacies of existence Lobotomize the mindless cattle of man Eliminating intelligence through influence Our being is rotting with deception Sew their mouths shut, so they can't say a thing Expose the cloak of supremacy The power of a corrupt reign The power of a corrupt reign Believe everything And never ever question anything Control of reality Then we’ll never see the truth Don't heed to the perjurer Emancipate actuality within Cut off your ears, gauge your eyes Reveal the secret of a concealed authority Sew their mouths shut, so they can't say a thing Expose the cloak of supremacy The power of a corrupt reign Nothing is real Nothing is absolute

You bring new meaning to ignorance Convictions of a child and deceit of man Coiling downward into your darkest fear Too blind to see truth, to deaf to hear reason An arrogant display of substance abuse Wired comprehension from an artificial truth We look so insignificant Standing on your pedestal Wearing a mask of dignity While inside it eats you alive You think we don't hear the whispers Or does it mean that little to you Years of favor left to the ashes Revel new found wisdom alone You think we don't hear the whispers Or does it mean that little to you A construct of fantasy and fiction Save your judgement, we're all sinners here Tired excuses and a obstinate mind We're all sinners here The hallowed one has come And the foolish will burn in the sun

So many lines have been clouded Losing comprehension of right and wrong To see heroes become oppressors Security comes at a fatal cost They have abandoned us all Leaving any last chance of promise The chosen savior has forsaken mankind We've become the villain We've become the perversion In this place hope is a fantasy A colossal return of virtue But who chooses the road we take? One self appointed emancipator Control flowing blue and red When the end is near We have no faith in one another To save us from our transgressions We all pray till kingdom come Our dream is dead Replaced with fear instead In the end we're just fading away Waiting in hope for another day When the end is near We have no faith in one another To save us from our transgressions We all pray till kingdom come

The gears of war keep turning As modest blood fuels the machine The beast of greed take hold Ever churning for the fortune Senseless pieces in a aimless endeavor Who succeeds in the games they play Vile intent composed with suffering Living the prophecy We have been losing an endless battle, fighting our flesh and blood The foolish pride of narcissistic minds These maggots feeding on the lower man Nursing the motives of a sickening plan They eat the riches, we eat the fucking infection Materialistic theories of a lethargic collection Assembling their throne of gluttony and filth If this it and the world is at is seems What will be left for those we leave? The history will speak in magnitudes of our demise This is the mutiny Ignite the revolution

This, the land of captivity Nothing but puppets to corrupt intent No care for the mortals, no remorse for consequence Distraction is a weapon And rule the design The blood that spills decay While wealth for few The time to dethrone is at hand Stand to be something of worth If we're living blind, then we're not living at all They murder for progress Over indulgent worthless parasite Reckoning upon the judged Reality is never definite Alter the blueprint of purity Perfection is a distorted invention The delusion of safety

From nothing to a spark The futures seed is planted Yet you're rotting from within A disease of desire and greed Created so pure, infected with filth The fiber of purity burns no more Strains of immeasurable failure The few who stain our failed integrity The precipice of existence Open your eyes to the force of origin Darkness bringing forth light And the light brings shadows Their minds are naive, but their souls are corrupt You had potential, you had purpose Now you have nothing but a mouth of ashes This fucking world is eating you alive

So few years and so many faces What happened to the old days? All the memories of the past cast aside and forgotten Nothing has changed but the people around me Disappearing into obscurity Momentum taking hold of everything Then you lost what you had Your passion is now a fleeting thought, a faded illusion of sanity Becoming the incarnation of animosity Who the fuck have you become? In another time, in another place We will reclaim what once was there As for now the void will swallow us whole So few years and so many faces What happened to the old days? All the memories of the past cast aside and forgotten

Remember my name This disease eats at me from the inside A pathetic hero of my meaningless existence Life is an extended void of opportunity I was a good man, now I'm the one they fear Blood is thick, but control is forever My conscience slowly wearing thin Shedding the virtues of yesterday The mind of a savage is a corrupt nothingness Once free I am now it's prisoner Embrace what we all will become I am the one who knocks I am the fucking monster This is my empire, this is my legacy I will be the end of everything All hail the new king They say my time has come, but I've only just begun My kingdom of blood and gold, they'll never forget The hero has fallen Everyone I love will suffer at these hands This is my empire

Shape the minds of the young and the free Break them into conforming Numb the will from their consciousness Expression conforms to compliance We forgot our dreams, now we're living the nightmare Generations of mindless machines Raised in a world that never wants you to think Follow the mold of the one that came before They tell you what to think Tell you what to feel, and who to be We are slaves to our distortion of life Walking the lines of society's expectancy Brainwashed into an infinite crisis Mass genocide of universal knowledge Break the sequence And mend the rupture Become the embodiment of forever If everything we are is everything we will be Why bother to carry on? Revert the fiber of every being Wasting every breath we receive Break the sequence And mend the rupture Become the embodiment of forever

The balance is torn We've been dying for so long Eating the shit that they feed us Birthing decay, nurturing disease The earth is weeping, as we cut the flesh Three entities at war Shifting the symmetry Restore the equilibrium Wait, can you hear the screams calling? Whispers in your ear calling out They can hear your purpose, and they smell your fear Tell me, what have we left for those to come? Why don't you heed the warnings? Will you stand in the coming bloodshed? We’re all just rotting flesh Go forth to the scarlet kingdom Feel the embrace of the essence of flesh As the parliament chooses their fate We return to the swamp from where we came

Bow to the eternal pain The mortal compass on which we adhere Living our lives searching Yearning to hear the voices Seeking that which we will not find I thought I had it all worked out Seeing the vale of mystic presence Believing what was spoken to me But I never heard a god damn thing We're all sinking, but we're not dead yet Realize we have the influence Break down the barriers to reveal true animation We are the conquerors of fate The endless unknowing Bow to the eternal pain The endless unknowing A drop in an infinite ocean To questions that will never be answered The insignificant truth Thanks to szerjphoto for sending these lyrics.
