lyrics

The River of Illusion

Hearing the cries of disparity
Summoned to the lies of severity
Surrounded in this desolation
Subjected to live in total isolation


Waiting in the cull of trepidation
Misleading us through false interpretation
Looking through the wrong end of the telescope
Distance miscalculated
they lost all hope

Falling alliance
Stunning compliance
Observed in silence
Questing science

False teachings fell upon closed ears and minds
Stunning to those who scarcely find
The myths led to stories that led to words
Simple minds felt reassured

All things remain in a state of flux
Removed from the current status
Subjected to the erosiveness of
time
Their status of punishment and crime

Falling alliance
Stunning compliance
Observed in silence
Questing science

In the name of the shadow and
of the Holy Ghost
Instilling powers in wooden objects to host
Worshiping in the majestic halls of time
Transfixing on figures ever so sublime

Merging philosophies
Perpetual atrocities
Transcending history
Outliving misery

Thought is the enemy of flow
Scarcely heard In overtones
Cries of disparity are often heard
Ignored by the masses
And unfavorably unturned
:
Accelerated and magnified
Extraordinary stigmatized
Panoramic transformations
Essential disintegration

Philosophy concerns itself about death
While society breaths its last breath
The blankness of nothingness
Floating on a river of emptiness and illusion
