Profoundly punished am I
|
Bound to bear witness to this global masquerade
|
In which kings and fools may be the same
|
Theatrical innocence and whoredom are abloom
|
In the rotten hierarchy fundamentally deaf to all truths
|
|
Narrow is the path of the compassionate
|
Vain is the philanthropic approach
|
Making haste from the womb to the stage
|
To star an incoherrent martyrplay
|
|
I bow to Osiris-Typhon
|
And to the grandeur of His ascendancy
|
Within, about and beyond me
|
I extol the sun-outshining Mercury
|
That steals the feeble's vision
|
|
Consider me as a potential iconoblast
|
As a gun pointed at your foreheads
|
Without mercy and remorse
|
I tread on the debris of benevolence
|
And assault the most sacrosanct
|
|
Corrupted to the core and, yet, so sinless
|
Terminally short on dignity
|
Just barely breathing in morality's stranglehold
|
If self-delusion was a crime,
|
You'd be taken straight to the gallows
|
|
Narrow is the path of the compassionate
|
Vain is the philanthropic approach
|
Making haste from the womb to the stage
|
To star an incoherrent martyrplay
|
|
Profoundly rewarded am I
|
Stripped of all humane amidst this global masquerade
