Sympathy - In Mine Own Image lyrics

rate me

with anthropomorphic certainty

I enthrone my deity

inevitable reality

raised within mine own mind

in the resemblance of me

god is my will's extrusion

it is I who has created him

and my will shall be done

should I not worship him

and so honor myself

and when I bow

I praise the one

to whom I give

life

the pleasure that I feel in worship is my own

the prayers of my heart are offered to myself

how could I not

create myself as god

the substance of my faith is grounded in desire

the essence of my faith is the form of myself

how can I escape

this emotive state

I adorned myself with jewels

with gold and finery

clothe myself in purple

I raise myself an altar

petition my desires

there is no god unless I am he
