Alghazanth - Iconoblast lyrics

Profoundly punished am I Bound to bear witness to this global masquerade In which kings and fools may be the same Theatrical innocence and who*edom are abloom In the rotten hierarchy fundamentally deaf to all truths Narrow is the path of the compa**ionate Vain is the philanthropic approach Making haste from the womb to the stage To star an incoherrent martyrplay I bow to Osiris-Typhon And to the grandeur of His ascendancy Within, about and beyond me I extol the sun-outshining Mercury That steals the feeble's vision Consider me as a potential iconoblast As a gun pointed at your foreheads Without mercy and remorse I tread on the debris of benevolence And a**ault the most sacrosanct Corrupted to the core and, yet, so sinless Terminally short on dignity Just barely breathing in morality's stranglehold If self-delusion was a crime, You'd be taken straight to the gallows Narrow is the path of the compa**ionate Vain is the philanthropic approach Making haste from the womb to the stage To star an incoherrent martyrplay Profoundly rewarded am I Stripped of all humane amidst this global masquerade
