Lyrics

Sacred absurdities stumble down the catwalk

Sacred things that make no sense are displayed prominently

Silky fabrics of fraud conceal the ugliness

Fabricated materials hide the unpleasant truth

Their sanctity is fiction, their milk is poison

Their holiness is false, what they offer is harmful

And still admiration weighs upon their shoulders

Despite this, they receive admiration and praise


Never dare to question the unnatural

Don't challenge what's unnatural

Never dare to doubt the illogical

Don't question what's illogical

The agonies of faith you must endure

Endure the pain of belief

Seeking to suffer until no longer impure

Seek suffering to cleanse oneself


To nothingness you recite your odes

You praise nothingness

To emptiness you paint your fresco's

You create art that represents emptiness

The two-edged sword of loyalty sways

Remaining loyal hurts from conflicting loyalties

Tearing your limbs by cutting both ways

Being torn apart by contradictory beliefs


Mere submissive and inert minds

Passive and unthinking individuals

Pursuing for bliss by casting sense aside

Chasing happiness by ignoring logic

In a monochrome reality you feel security

Feeling safe in a dull, predictable world

Strapped down by dogmas and infirmity

Restricted by rigid beliefs and weakness


In non-existent prospect of redemption

Hopeless pursuit of salvation that doesn't exist

You kneel down before the cruciform icon

Submitting to religious symbols

Bite the body in an ecstatic frenzy

Consuming in a frenzied state

Swallow the blood to cleanse your heart

Drinking to purify the soul
