Lyrics
Two alone in a sack of skin
Two individuals encapsulated in human bodies
Playing the role of slave master of war
Acting as both oppressor and victim in the cycle of warfare
That is my lot
Accepting this as one's fate
Separated but still united
Though separated physically, there's a connection
Bound to emptiness, bound to flesh
Constrained by emptiness and physical existence
That is my hell
Experiencing this state as a personal torment
Penitent rebel
A person seeking forgiveness but challenging established norms
Riding the ether or grovelling in the mud
Choosing between spiritual elevation and degradation
I know how little is the value of that which has a price
Awareness of the insignificance of things that can be bought and sold
Rebellion!
Revolt against the accepted order
Instinct is not the path of man
Impulse doesn’t define humanity's true path
Rebellion!
Challenging established norms and beliefs
Renunciation is not the divine way
Rejecting renunciation as the sole divine path
Two alone in a sack of skin
Reiteration of two individuals within human forms
Playing the role of slave master of war
Participating in the dual roles of oppressor and victim in conflict
That is my lot
Accepting this reality as one's destiny
Separated but still united
Despite separation, there's a connection between individuals
Bound to emptiness, bound to flesh
Constrained by the limitations of existence and physical form
Captured and tortured
Feeling trapped and tormented
I don't want this, I want to leave
Expressing a desire to break free from this condition
How can one go when one has already arrived?
Questioning the possibility of leaving once arrived at this state
Flight is an illusion
Flight or escape seems unattainable
And even triumph is bitter
Even achieving victory feels bitter and unrewarding
When only the battle is counted
Only the struggle in life seems to hold significance
I know how little is the value of that which has a price
Understanding the minimal worth of things that can be quantified
Rebellion!
Uprising against societal norms and constraints
Instinct is not the path of man
Asserting that human direction isn't solely guided by instinct
Rebellion!
Defiance against the notion that renunciation is the only divine path
Renunciation is not the divine way
Challenging the accepted spiritual or moral path
Rebellion!
Reaffirmation of the call to rebel against established norms
