Greg Anderson - The Smiler lyrics

Harvester of d**h behind a marble altar s**ing your last breath- smiling A gibbering wreck, rope of love around your neck Life a crucifixion- keep smiling Sinking into depths, hands are tied behind your back Strangled by devotion- smiling Abandonment of self, depression is your ecstasy In misfortune engrossed- smiling Destruction is wealth- punishment your luxury Elation through pain- Still smiling Slave of bleak desire- in vacuum void of pity Exotic isolation- Smiling Barren emotion cuts like a blunt knife Against the hatred of your blackened heart Brewing through states in search of joy They spit out rejection, you worship the same Annihilation of your inner-self Breeds gratification in your hunger for wealth All that was beauty you've smashed wide apart With the fist of envy, for nothing that's smart Servants to emptiness fall onto their knees Entranced by the smiler they crave his disease Frailty drives them as nothingness breeds In cartoons of virtue their observance bleeds In lakes of fire- they yearn to be blessed Slaves to perfection- baptised unto d**h King of lost feelings, in pain he is crowned Within love's inferno, the smiler he stands
