Mourning of the Wicked
In this shell of existence we wait
Confronted by lies our thoughts become dormant
Blind to ourselves we are guided by the feces of prophets
We swallow greed and lust until we have a false sense of life
Bathing in a stream of decay
Content in our blackened glory
Like a insect plague we destroy in an endless cycle
Our vanity is reflected in our demonic church state
This yellow metallic god worthless in it's grace
Without self-questioning we follow like slaves
