Look at my tortured body

With your needles plunged deep inside

The tattered Edge of my black-toothed grin

The life I live condemned to sin

Peel backs a fingernail and you will find a piece of me

The bible I burn

The cross I shun

Vanquish the light

Illumination undone

The rage inside is now a gaping hole

Black eye blind, a sinful soul

I am your religion, twisted perfection

Scream the pain inside, live the life I hide

Chained and tortured

But all in my head

Subconscious pain

Turned to physical awareness

Existential suffering

Manifesting madness

Coarse and rotten skin

Amiss blood vomit eyes

Broken wings shadowed by a tattered dawn

Empty eyes burn within a face silhouetted

Ominous visions

Of an inevitable fate

A viscous debt collected

The bible I burn

The cross I shun

Vanquish the light

Illumination undone

The bible I burn

The cross I shun

Vanquish the light

Illumination undone

Rapture of us all, stranger spoke in tongue

As he stole the light, left us all with none
