Godless
Embrace the Abyss: Defiance Against an Omniscient Cancer
Lyrics
Ensnared by your reach, Enslaved by your word
Feeling trapped and controlled by someone's influence and words.
Enraged, I remain. With hate I sustain
Despite anger, the speaker remains and sustains hatred.
Sustain the belief that we shall endure
Commitment to the belief that they will endure despite challenges.
You are a cancer
Describing the oppressive force as a destructive influence, like cancer.
Omniscient you claim to be
Criticizing the claim of omniscience by the oppressive force.
You cannot see that I am the cure
Asserting that the speaker is the solution to the problems caused by the oppressor.
I don't doubt your existence, I doubt your grace
Expressing doubt not in the existence but in the benevolence of the oppressive force.
You may have granted me wisdom, but I return with hate
Acknowledging the wisdom granted but returning with hatred.
You've invested a lifetime, I've waited for eternity
Highlighting the asymmetry in the investment of time and patience.
You've awakened your ending, and it begins with me
Declaring the beginning of the oppressor's downfall, initiated by the speaker.
You are a cancer
Reiterating the oppressive force's destructive nature.
Omniscient you claim to be
Repeating criticism of the claim of omniscience.
You cannot see that I am the cure
Reasserting the speaker as the solution to the problems caused by the oppressor.
So many freethinking brethren, with stories to tell
Referring to others who think freely, with untold stories.
You've hidden your selfish ways, disguised them well
Accusing the oppressive force of hiding selfish intentions behind a facade.
Observe and question your current decay
Encouraging introspection and questioning of the deteriorating situation.
Look deeper within and you'll see why I say
Suggesting that self-reflection reveals the true reasons for the speaker's claims.
I've been absolved of my faith
Declaring freedom from faith.
I've been absolved of my faith
Reiterating the absolution of faith.
Now. To the masses, I speak
Shifting to addressing a larger audience.
Count to infinity, then you'll be saved
Proposing salvation through counting to infinity.
These thoughts of absolution die off
Rejecting thoughts of absolution as they fade away.
Your existence waived
Declaring the nullification of the oppressive force's existence.
You can die a martyr, for a hopeless cause
Advising against becoming a martyr for a futile cause.
Remember that in the end, all you'll have is loss
Warning that, in the end, there will be only loss.
There was a time, A time I prayed
Recalling a past time of prayer and hope.
I hoped for happiness, and in veneration I gave
Expressing the desire for happiness through veneration.
I gave myself to this Harbinger of Pain
Offering oneself to a bringer of pain.
Then realized the Creator and Lord of Darkness were one in the same
Realizing the equivalence of the Creator and Lord of Darkness.
Purge yourself of these thoughts
Advocating for the purging of negative thoughts.
We'll soon share the fate of passing through these ethereal gates
Anticipating a shared fate of passing through ethereal gates.
Ethereal Gates
Referencing an ethereal destination, possibly afterlife.
