So should I return?
From the remnants of the ashes you have burned
Will all my efforts just fall through?
As a reflecting mirror of words I've sought within you

Departure

Toss my mask and cloak away
I'm not getting any younger
Summon me from the depths
Of my former slumber
Dated aspirations left behind in dust
Maturity in hindsight with blindness in trust
Cast away the thoughts and feelings of bygone days
Clutching at the shortest straw dealt by the hand at play
I see the hearses roll on by
Someday soon they'll call my name
And if I get there early
Am I really one to blame?
My age is catching up to me, I can feel it in my bones
I'm letting out more feelings than what the surface shows
Trying to seek comfort from the answers you receive
Facing my mortality with the web of words I've weaved
And will I submit myself to eternity in Hell?
Or will I repent at the tolling of the final bell?
With eyes as pale as skin, forgive me of my sins
Repenting for my past, but am I really free at last?
Only in the face of death do we know just who we are

Mass Illusion

When will we break free of all expectations?
Lucid in our dreams, we abate our foundations
Progressing through our infancy
We hold ourselves accountable
Though we can't see the highest peak
We're sure its insurmountable
Believing in that which is not there
Coexisting in our delusions
A faith misplaced in grandiose ways
While masking the sight of the mass illusion

From whence these dire portents around
That Earth and Heaven amaze?
Wherefore do earthquakes cleave the ground?
Why hides the Sun in shame?
Let sin no more my soul inslave!
Break now the tyrant's chain!
O save me, whom thou cam'st to save
Nor bleed nor die in vain!
This is where the vermin of the world go
To sing their psalms
And lament for all their sins
Here is where the seeds of hypocrisy begin
And if I'm referred to as "sinner"
I'll refer to you as "saint"
Amongst these accusations
How does one equate?
You've distilled the lines held
Between your faith and fraud
Is it too late now
To get right with God?
Time to get right with God
You're too fucking stupid to see through the charade
Come one, come all, and join the masquerade!
You're just like a virus infecting all of mankind
Did you enjoy your reign while leading all the blind?
How many invested in the church for their belief?
Is this conglomerate we call on just a den of thieves?
You revel in your ways no matter how flawed
The confessional you hide in; time to atone with God
Swaying back and forth between religious hypocrisy
Questioning the prophets of a false theocracy
Must I be the harbinger against the falsehoods you illustrate?
A veil of lies hides your image in this world that we create
A principle of penitence cannot save one's soul
From eternal damnation in a faith that you control
And what is faith if not fear laid down upon the weak?
A charlatan of power who's lies are what he speaks
From whence these dire portents around
That Earth and Heaven amaze?
Wherefore do earthquakes cleave the ground?
Why hides the Sun in shame?
Let sin no more my soul inslave!
Break now the tyrant's chain!
O save me, whom thou cam'st to save
Nor bleed nor die in vain!
