I lead them astray, mankind has always functioned this way.

Somethings you won't ever understand, still you want to be dead as I am.

Allthings are not to be understood, so you imitate as much as you can.

I hope you realize that there is nothing for you here.

Purposes change rapidly, I will never kneel
