Cursed
Unveiling the Cursed Tapestry: Counterparts' Profound Reflections
Lyrics
We ache to be transparent. We run from the open arms
We desire honesty and openness. We avoid embracing welcoming gestures.
the facade of something greater than ourselves
We project an illusion of something more significant than ourselves.
And we're left to coexist with infestation
We have to live alongside a pervasive and harmful influence.
Our history is cursed through the past, present and future
Our history is plagued throughout time - past, present, and future.
If they're created in his image, then his image is disgusting
If humans are made in the image of a higher power, that image is repulsive. Even that higher power can't absolve you.
and even he can't wipe you clean
Questioning the ability of a higher power to cleanse individuals.
How can someone see so far ahead, while they're spending every day on their knees?
Critiquing those who claim foresight while engaging in submissive behavior.
Is the view from above really worth the judgement passed?
Is the perspective from above worth the judgment received?
The fear, the lies, and the manipulation?
Exploring themes of fear, lies, and manipulation.
A doctrine bathed in ignorance, and written in the blood of the enslaved
Criticizing a doctrine rooted in ignorance and the suffering of the enslaved.
And I have never lost my faith, I just never had any to begin with
Not having faith from the beginning, rather than losing it.
I would sooner die for my sins, then pray for my forgiveness
Preferably facing consequences for one's sins than seeking forgiveness through prayer.
Sew my palms together, and crucify the thoughts in my mind
Symbolic act of restraining thoughts and inner conflicts.
Awaiting Armageddon. Neglecting to exercise the demons in your head
Anticipating a catastrophic event while ignoring inner struggles.
You're born again, but you're better off dead
Being reborn but suggesting it might be better to be dead.
Conversion or a casualty, renounce and save yourself
Choosing between changing beliefs or facing dire consequences.
Is the view from Heaven really worth all of the judgement passed?
Questioning if a heavenly perspective justifies the judgment endured.
The pestilence that you've inflicted, and the souls of all the loved one's we've lost?
Reflecting on the harm caused and the loss of loved ones due to a perceived pestilence.
We are the sheep that rose against the shepherd, we are the ones you led astray
Rebelling against those who guided astray, asserting independence.
Embrace the light in your heart, not the one in the sky
Encouraging embracing inner goodness, not external influences.
Saints and sinners rejoice, we will all rot together
Both virtuous and sinful individuals will decay together.
