My ego swells
As time fortells
My every last contrivance.
So self-aware
My inner stare
It lends to me a silence.
Oh, what a toll
To feel my soul
Scrape against the hollow.
And so alone
With piercing tone
With no god left to follow.
As moral sense
Constructs a fence
That soon becomes a wall.
To keep away
The social fray
And bring growth to a stall.
We need the fight
To bring to light
The darkness of our hearts.
To fill the hole
Left in our soul
When we let myth depart.
We don't evolve
When left to solve
A fiction erred as fact.
A book of lies
To close our eyes
As common sense is sacked.
The demon priest
Not yet deceased
Still holds most in his grasp.
But he shall see.
There's no more need
For clinging to the past.
We shall rise against your lies.
We shall open up our eyes.
And see the truth.

We need the fight

To fill the hole

Still holds most in his grasp.
But he shall see.
There's no more need

We shall rise against your lies.
