Torrefy - Blinding the Beholder lyrics

d**h of progress on display Smithsonian galaxy Beaten dogs of war chase their tails turning without purpose As is custom the maiden voyage will end in catastrophe Paternal castration sterilize that which birthed us Tragedy of commons ignorance reigns Seductive destruction encompa** all Blinding the Beholder Fact and beauty gouged from eyes Evil or otherwise people are sentient lies Tear off this disguise and people are scum Twisted premonitions of the fate of the Earth and its decline into dust Hate is a hot dagger twisting in my stomach Branded internally with a blade bej**eled by rust Is this how the world ends? No legacy no f**ing hope Is this how the world ends? Releasing its bowels swinging from a rope The stench fills the lungs and makes you choke Life is not an answer oh no it’s a goddamned joke In existence there have been countless lives Taken in the name of all powerful lies Vicious battle cries come from all sides Murder the heathen bleed for your god Sincerity decays the most efficient waste of carbon suffocates a world We lost focus An unnecessary soothsay These children of understanding’s mother’s milk has curdled We gave it up Never deal in absolutes Blinding the Beholder Don’t rely on words for truths they are formed with intention We are endless violence relentless silence A young girl smiles after her first kiss A sick boy lies by his lifeless mother crying out in grief and hunger Haunted eyes do not define the pain behind abandoned minds This is how the world ends
