Atomizer - One Man's Failure lyrics

Paranoia filled his heart It was the prophecy that stood to tear his world apart The wise foresaw the birth of a son Who would teach of a life beyond this mortal one Through arrogance and a desire to remain you know It's like a beast that rises across the sky Paranoia declared that child must die Slay all the sons that are less than two And thus the cruelest campaign did ensue It did, despite his arrogance and a desire to remain well you know This was the moment in time, when all could have been reversed When those who did stand by, who allowed the ensuing madness to reign One moment in time, when all could have been reversed When paranoia's throne was usurped, when the flesh of your saviour should have burned Like a star, like that beacon in the night But paranoia was betrayed by the enlightened that lead the way And despite all the steel that carved through the young flesh Paranoia's authority was trampled on The flesh of your saviour should burn And from the day we're born until the day we die The shackles that bind us men and women of the west That would never have been, oh a f**ing nightmare Nightmare, the nightmare cometh, paranoia's failure set that faith aflame
