Samaritan

from Obliviora by Devine Defilement

lyrics

They say that

Once upon the cross
there hung a herald of despair
A liar promising
the keys to the kingdom

A deuteragonist
to an envisioned emperor
A preacher to the
choir of traitors

A sight unseen
A sound unheard
He beckoned to his side
And to him came the
fools of twelve
And a congregation
of idiots

The fools have found
Sanctity in denial

Endless rituals
Obeisance
To the master of sin
Prostration
Forgiveness
Get on your knees

Tell me now
of your good word
Tell me of your charity
Samaritan, your love

Tell me now
of your greatness
Tell me of your power,
Shepherd, your herd

Oh, can you not feel it?
A sneaking suspicion
A crawling chaos of doubt
At the edge of your thoughts
You feel it coming
You feel it coming


The doom comes for us all
We all walk the same path
The path of all flesh
Nothing awaits us but the
endless dark
The hope for something more
is nothing but

Speak now of atrocity
Speak now of your violence
Conqueror, your hate

Speak now of divinity
Speak now of your silence
Traitor, your lies
