Sightless

Vale Of Pnath

Live as he lived, suffer as he did
 Feast upon these lies like a peasant fed ambrosia
 A leech on the wound, verminous knowledge unfiltered yet still consumed
 Persecute those who have denied, escaped, exposed this divine prison
 Worship he who embraced the wrongdoers; become an arbiter of the noble
 Teach humility and practice arrogance

 Praise peace and annihilate the wicked
 A sheltered life insured by blind faith
 This policy defined by the interpretations of your clergy
 Bringers of truth or a deceitful disease?
 Construct this your pedestal-- high upon it you rest
 Deluded from the moniker "sinner"
 The blind lead the blind into the depths of an exit-less pit

 Suffer as he did
 Suffer for your god

 Shunned from the diversity of the light
 Cast down to be shackled by vague prophecies
 You've taken false hope and enforced it on the free

 Suffer as he did
 Suffer for your god

 You've sheltered your eyes from the sun and become blind
 Saved from your sins by your effortless conviction

 Ask for forgiveness so thou can be cleansed, now able to look down upon the miscreants

 Praise your idol, praise your church, praise your priest
 You will always be sightless
 You believe he died for you, but would you suffer for him?

 Through the centuries you have fallen from your grace
 Created senseless violence from a prophecy of peace
 Forged a cult religion with a focus on true greed
 Become so diseased you can never be freed

 Hierarchies of insolence control the flock of sheep
 Sinners turn to preachers then to spreaders of disease
 The bodies of the dead build your towers to the sky
 A good word turned to poison by your infinite lies

 Sightless
