lyrics

O serpentine void of hysteria
Of incestuous hunger untamed
Ushering notions of poisoned elation
With no connation of truth or shame

We are a dissonant harmony
Anathematized in antagonic creeds
Blind is your refusal to see
Deformities in conformity

It all comes down to belief
A fear of all apart from the norm
There is an art to your blindness, and its motif?
The scythe of faith in a different form

Who are we if not me versus you
Truth unhollowed be told, if only you knew
The ease in slaying the beasts of beliefs inhumane
When all four winds storm against the grain

We are a dissonant harmony
Anathematized in antagonic creeds
Blind is your refusal to see
Deformities in conformity

Critical surrealism
Tolerance unbound as the eye of the storm
In the sempiternal schism
Of autotocratic elitism and true reform

The heart wants what it wants,
Thus in mutual hatred, they waltz through the storm
Obscurantism and Renaissance
Dismembering Descartes in odium’s maelstrom

Let us determine, first and foremost
Which one of us can hate the most
As the nooses of both fear and nous, in fray,
Intertwine, misaligned, ‘midst bleak nights where no star shines

Beware of fantasizing in forevers,
For coups d'œil with ghosts induce tremors

Scaring empty oaths into shattered spines
So march on, towards oblivion if you must
I trust your absence is thoroughly unmissed
May all standard-bearers of totalitarian errors
March on, edging towards the abyss
‘Tis my endeavour
To offer you as tribute to bereavement’s kiss
In blissful terror

We are a dissonant harmony
Anathematized in antagonic creeds
Blind is your refusal to see
Deformities in conformity

It all comes down to belief
The heart wants what it wants
It all comes down to belief
Obscurantism and Renaissance

The heart wants what it wants,
Thus, in mutual hatred, we will waltz through the storm
Obscurantism and Renaissance
Dismembering Descartes in odium’s vile storm

Thus am well aware of possessing hate to spare
And just barely enough compassion championing reason over despair
