Martyrdom in Vain

from Cages and Calamities by Invitations Lament

/

lyrics

The abyss before birth
The abyss that follows death
Too much knowledge leads to
Isolation
Too much wealth produces
Madness
Abominations exist
Because corporeality is cruel

Let them grovel beneath this pedestal
Their descendants shielded by the grave
From the cemetery of history
They exhume their corpses to revere

Let reason absolve the blame
To wisdom they are blind
Feed on the carrion
Immortalized in name
My heartfelt damnation
My sincere contempt
Readied for martyrdom
A martyrdom in vain

Let them grovel beneath this pedestal
Their descendants shielded by the grave
From the cemetery of history
They exhume their corpses to revere

Dead from an overload of
Bile, crash upon the floor
Bestow upon them nothing
But loathing and condemnation

Epithet of the future
Dawn of a new day
Epithet of the future
Dawn of a new day
Epithet of the future
Dawn of a new day
Epithet of the future
Dawn of a new day

Hide your truths too bitter for
This world
Hide your truths too bitter for
This world
