Live: Into Distant Fears

I am an alien from another world Sent to communicate a message Of wisdom I speak but no one hears me Deaf ears, dull eyes leave me behind Encased inside blooded flesh I communicate my message of truth But you are senseless To what should never have been forgotten The walls are built higher and stronger Word by word, the walls of ignorance And the worm procreates in my belly Begat of spite and hate I must pay the wage of sin Delusions of grandeur Until my birth starts again Contractions warm this beating heart Umbilically chained to the machine Re-emergence of a second coming Deliverance into the barren world Infanticidal process of regurgitation And the chrisom's tears cannot dry Realization hits like a hammer As societal stillbirth machine rolls on Rusty gears feeding itself confusion I choke and gasp on this poisoned world And see myself and other human wreckage If I had just one wish it would be To crawl back into the womb Hope is the lie that gropes towards doom Blind leading blind What we were, we are, and forever will be Thy will be done Ignorant worms White blind and deaf And forever doomed Groping futility in the sunlight And machinations of the truth Breaths of pollutants spout from the lips Protective measures gas mask welds with flesh Adaptation mutation self preservation The curse of wisdom I see with my eyes plucked out I hear with my ears crushed Plead for freedom Taste the salt (tears for humanity) Tears plow furrows down my cheeks What have I done Now I know that ignorance is bliss When I did crawl from the blighted womb Childlike spawn of diseased ovum Warmth of pain is gone My message is clear We are like them - You and I are one Stunted embryonic forms No wisdom unintelligible products of the Stillbirth machine Why did I ever think I was not We are like them And I grope blindly in the light You and I are one Truth sears flesh withers (can't read this bit) I was wrong I am nothingness I am dust Begone

Hear unto my voice this prophetic sound Retreat into sacred solitude Symbols and signs bear fruit to the wind Horizons yield seething towers of hate Insular strength- Invincible Pay homage to the coming fall I am the bringer of fire to the people A sacred entity against mass Journey the ways that soon be followed The rebel titan Prometheus Plunging into distant fears Incandescent and alone Crowning myself with bloodied hands Standing out amongst the fallen In defiance I shout a caustic cry Invoke invisible power invincible The star shattered dawn The beholden spirit of destiny I am he... One is strength and one is wisdom One thwarts the bleak collapsing fall One attains the gifts of reason Empowered with the bitter truth Through suffering perseverance to the end One strength emerges frozen in steel Dark brooding ways come close at hand Bearing the light of a new day Tribulate occupy the decayed thrones As sweet as fire Glorious dawn upon the plateau of might Now burns Straining laughter forth from my mouth A peal of chimes crowning death I will bear the children of the world Carry the wise on the shoulders of fools Spite and spit guide sight to the rest Who in the distance wither and die Bolts of fear (of pain, of disease) Father struggle awaits in ambush Winds buffet with no known recourse A challenge in glory and force...
