Lyrics
As you surrender to the Virgin born
Submission to the Virgin birth
And as you bow in faithful devotion
Expressing devotion through bowing
To the golden laws of man made instinct
Obedience to societal instincts
We take [a long good] look in the crystal ball
Examining the future with a crystal ball
And we see nothing but clouds
Seeing uncertainty and confusion
In that rotten kaleidoscope reflection
Distorted reflection in a corrupted kaleidoscope
The planet's own cradle of worms
Earth depicted as the cradle of decay
How can anyone ever triumph?
Doubting the possibility of triumph
What were you, what will you be?
Questioning identity and future
We can no longer tell
Uncertainty about the past and future
If you ceased to exist
Contemplating the non-existence of the self
Would we mourn or remember you?
Speculating on the impact of one's absence
Would we mourn?
Contemplating mourning for the absent
Could we remember?
Reflecting on the ability to remember
You lose now
Experiencing loss despite previous victories
As if winning
Failure despite the appearance of success
Was your game
Questioning the purpose of winning
He who knows
Emphasizing knowledge and experience
Who have seen
Those who comprehend and have witnessed
And have made
Creators of deceitful realities
Playground deceit
Manipulative and deceptive playground
Imaginary love
Love depicted as imaginary or illusory
Shameless joy
Unrestrained and shameless joy
Ravishing grin
Intense and captivating grin
Pointed finger
Accusatory and judgmental gesture
Disdainful might
Powerful and scornful authority
We turn away
Turning away and disengaging
No longer caring
Lack of concern or interest
