Close to a World Below
Album - 1 novembre 2000 - Debaser id 121224

Cowards, with your empty hearts
And narrow minds...So bitter
our confusion is overwhelming
So aimless and misguided
Your search for a higher power
Something better than yourselves
In a perfect world, your perfect god
Is a coward just like you
Watch them gather, they flock together
For in numbers they feel strength
Will you find your way to paradise,
Through the darkness within your light
To the children, they feed his body
Peel his flesh from off the cross
In his blood they'll wash away
All the dirt from their souls
Obedient young, they'll join the flock
With minds like clay and hearts so pure
Fill them with his words and fears
And feed them to the waiting beast
His open arms and splendid brilliance
Devours those who can not see
The dimming light from high above
Vanquished by their higher coward
How can you glorify and praise
One so weak, imperfect and insane
The magnitude of his madness is so clear
In the eyes of the herd that he keeps
Look what you have become
Just another like all the rest

Bless me father For you've sinned against me It's been one week since you've raped me holy Father, your spirit inside me Holy Father, robbed my virtue Holy Mary, mother of Christ The fruit of thy womb has poisoned me Father, you're not a father Rapist, selfish taker of youth The fires you cast out I promise you for eternity Our father who aren't in heaven Inside of me, my soul is lost My manhood, so miniscule, was stolen The Rosary has gripped tight around my neck I hailed Mary...Over and over again You've failed Mary You've raped Mary...Over and over again You've walked beside me, but I was alone You've walked on top of me, crushing me My innocence and my emotions Were wiped away and you didn't care You just hid behind your collar The hardest time, I was helpless And it was too late, much too late Touch me I'm warm, but not alive Feel my hot breath, but I'm not living Dead inside, Alone forever Father why...Father why Father, you're not a father Rapist, selfish taker of youth The fires you cast out I promise you for eternity

Son of highest
You are falling
You are falling
Not floating from out of the sky
You deceive us
You betray us
You will not lift our hearts to eternity
But leave a hole with despair
We waited and waited
Our crosses born
And still you did not come
And how does it feel
As life passes by
We will not know until we pass
that you are a lie
Will we receive the mark
Of those who did not believe
The temptations that are burning us alive
But you tell us that there's sin in what we think
For forgiveness we'll believe your every word
but will you show us what our souls cry out to see
No...No...No...
Son of man, are you the son of God
No...No...No...
did you die to cleanse this world of sin
No...No...No...
Will you return from the dead to
save the world again
No...No...No...
Has the blood you shed turned the darkness into light...No
Son of highest You are falling
You are falling
not floating from out of the sky
We waited and waited
Our crosses born
And still you did not come

Take your heaven
And your hell
And leave them for the children
I refuse to believe these lies
Show me you're real
Prove your greatness
Can you show me that you really loved us
That you really died to save us from damnation
I don't think you can, I don't think you will
Divine illumination sees no path to forgiveness
When the one who defies the lord i
s cast out forever
Banishment from the house of
God is not what I fear
For his kingdom is divided
and his people shall stray
I commend myself for this unpardonable sin
For now more than ever I see clearer than before
One above, how mighty are your wonders
Your kingdom is everlasting, yet so empty
Your saints have chosen sin over glory
Your strength has diminished...My fallen one
The misery that surrounds me,
I'm repulsed by your name
Your images has brought despair
to the ones you've forsaken
Your death I'll rejoice as you sickness disappears
Lament in your own failure,
for in death there is rebirth
I commend myself for this unpardonable sin
For now more than ever I see clearer than before
