Dereliction

Your lore was sold to me As the fulcrum of all strength Fairytales to brighten up A mostly bleak and dreary life Uncertainties astride the path They reap your soul and namesake As grand as they are fleeting A dead landscape seamless blend Try as you might You cannot deny The white dove only thrives For those you can not buy How long can you play this role How many lies can you overlook How long can you sell this faith in A vicious god, designed to kill Faith is thrown into a bonfire No discernment from the weakened soul Expensive tickets about to sell out For an army of oblivious oafs False path Vultures leading to a blinded oath The wicked one comes to bury your soul Biding time to hide as he claims to enlight Your lies will be judged And life will be taken False revelations pouring from Freshly cut wounds Shackled bond in fear Lonely rolling tear Down the face of an impious prophet Slowly growing sheer Tapestry of sneers Faceless grins taken over by shadows Shackled bond in war Slowly burning stars No enlightenment without dereliction No enlightenment without dereliction No enlightenment without dereliction No enlightenment without Commandments For most to behold Breeding ire, wandering souls Commandments For some to control Breathing fire, ecstasy of gold Internment Stranglehold A chain of thoughts, delayed, afloat Bereavement For none to oppose Fearing god, for they shall repose No enlightenment without dereliction Everything built to keep you inside No enlightenment without dereliction No enlightenment All aspects of life interpreted by A gaping maw who feeds on raw Icons to weave infinities Where lies are sired and in white, baptized As you close The curtains On your mind's Eye You may feel Safe As the icons Sediment The universe Speaks In a tongue Unknown They will claim To know Hypocrisy's Abode
