ALGHAZANTH

ALGHAZANTH - ICONOBLAST lyrics

rate me

Profoundly punished am I

Bound to bear witness to this global masquerade

In which kings and fools may be the same

Theatrical innocence and whoredom are abloom

In the rotten hierarchy fundamentally deaf to all truths

Narrow is the path of the compassionate

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 assault 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 compassionate

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
