Plague Bearer
Plague Bearer's Battle: Confronting Life's Infections
Lyrics
Every morning born
Reflecting on the beginning of each day
Into a sea of enemies
Facing numerous adversaries
All buzzing voices
Hearing constant, chaotic voices
All twisted faces
Encountering distorted and contorted faces
And all senses under siege
Feeling overwhelmed as all senses are under attack
The pedantic and plodding rhythms of everyday
Experiencing the monotonous and slow beats of daily life
The invasion of cheapness
Facing the infiltration of shallowness
Subversion of meaning
Undergoing the subversion of meaningful experiences
To kill or be killed
Confronting a situation where one must either kill or be killed
No threatening fist could solve it
Realizing that violence cannot resolve the underlying issues
Its presence since the dawn of time
Acknowledging the enduring nature of the problem
The roiling masses infected with disgust
Observing a society filled with people disgusted by their surroundings
All of us destroyed and debating reaction
Everyone being affected and debating how to react
Revenge or removal
Considering whether to seek revenge or remove oneself from the situation
To a life washed over
Aspiring to live a life untouched by external influences
And free of question
Yearning for a life without constant questioning
Or a life under siege by
Alternatively, living a life besieged by soul-sucking entities
Those leaches of the soul
Dealing with parasites that drain one's essence
Another day hoping to eliminate the need
Facing another day with the hope of eliminating necessity
The plague born of living
Contemplating the plague that arises from merely existing
The symptoms of the dead
Experiencing the symptoms of spiritual death
To kill or be killed
Reiterating the choice between killing or being killed
The only impedance
Stating that this is the only obstacle
The creation out of the recurrent funeral hours
Creating something new amid repetitive, funereal moments
Of something new
Emerging with a creation that is alive, not dead
And not dead
Accumulating strength to retaliate against the looming dread
To amass revenge against the dread
Seeking an equal response to counteract decay
An equal response
Striving for a response that matches the impending decline
To rival the decay set upon us
Working towards a reason to persist despite challenges
To create a reason to continue
Attempting to find purpose and eliminate the urge to die
And eliminate the need to die
Desiring an end to the inevitability of death
