There is a void within the soul of every man

A secret blind spot, so numb and callous, careless and cold

So far beyond all empathy



Worthless appendix of incarnation

Yet the gateway to poison questing minds

Casting upon you, the spell of segregation

Tear all love from you, in total desolation



Total incapacitation



Self-knowledge denied and all your dignity defiled

No matter the names they bear

No matter the saints they fear

Lying prophets, fallen hollows, untruth revelators

Your fear of hell will drag you into a godless abyss



There is no way to cure the human race

Forever abandoned to disgrace

Waiting for you to surrender at last

Suffocating in religious haze

Implanted image of a prudent god, so wise and gracious

So far above the plagues you fear



Self-knowledge denied and all your dignity defiled

No matter the names they bear

No matter the saints they fear

Lying prophets, fallen hollows, untruth revelators

Your fear of hell will drag you into a godless abyss



Fear of hell, prey to god, self-chosen hell, prey to god



Self-knowledge denied and all your dignity defiled

Momentary gods abhorred

But ancient demons adored
