Vale Of Pnath Sightless
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
[Lead - Mikey]
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?
[Lead - Mikey]
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
