[Verse 1]

No more ifs, no bias, no ambiguity

No wondering whether this is it

Clarity, so brightly shining

The image so painfully absolute


[Verse 2]

No edges blurred on this awareness

No unknown weight to tip the knowledge scales

Eyes dilated to grasp it all

As every illusion of what we are fails


[Verse 3]

An unquestionable picture, determined, complete

Its crystalline lines untouched by doubt

So vivid, so deprived of hesitation

Shining in its evil splendor


[Verse 4]

The burning hatred of man

A million degrees on display

Human voracity delineated

The demons in us all by fumes portrayed


[Bridge]

Stare

See

Take in

Grasp;

Comprehend

Assimilate

Behold your reflection


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 5]

The framing, gold plated lies

The canvas, hurting souls caught and weaved

The artist, the human dream

Incinerated, devoured, deceived
