Extol - Emancipation lyrics

[Music: O. Brrud/C. Espevoll, Lyrics: J.R. Mjlland] The Plague threatening the status quo Imposed afflictions between Leviathan and the divine Who's to blame And who's to say it isn't so? Emancipation Beyond the bare bone Liberation Of spirit and soul The unclear course of nature Violations, separations For every action and reaction A matter of consequence Ways of changing the score But the Lord comforts me more Than the riches of the earth The cares of the world For the purse is a dead cause Far worse than woe And carries the stamp of human vanity
