self proclaimed messiah's fallen
only to make the way for the countless more
the disciples of a truth outdated
shed their skin and their creed
another prophet is born
though the path seems straight and narrow
with each novelty the directions change
the more you reconcile the more you wallow
before you start to accept
you lost all track of the way
you follow a creed
ever changing
struggle and bleed
ever more
the balance of fate
ever fading
for a new breed
ever wrong
you can't change the nature
of a species
that is hellbent
on demise
the promise it brings
is forged in the mind
and fueled by betrayal
struggle in vain and die
abide the way of the damned
prepare for the end
embracing the lie
struggle in vain and die
past and present merge in chaos
the reflections of the abuse it bore
have been erased by a brain debilitated
liberation of guilt
but on the children the scorn
aberration mandatory
when conformity has the upper hand
all the wretched idols here before me
no resemblance to god
they're a delusion of man
you follow a creed
ever changing
struggle and bleed
ever more
the balance of fate
ever fading
for a new breed
ever wrong
you can't change the nature
of a species
that is hellbent
on demise
the promise it brings
is forged in the mind
and fueled by betrayal
struggle in vain and die
abide the way of the damned
prepare for the end
embracing the lie
struggle in vain and die
until the very last day of your life
you'll struggle in vain and die
the more you struggle
the harder they pick up the stride
it goes on forever
struggle in vain
'til the very last day of your life
and it's all the same
a life outworn
by failure, conceit and despair
while the soul is severed
fail to indulge
to a spirit left hollow and bare
still you cry it's name
fragments of serenity shatter
as your certainty blows up in your face
but the downfall of one truth doesn't matter
whatever smells of green you would praise
hungry eyes bulge out of their sockets
when the new messiah arrives at the gates
devastation in his words when he talks
sure that only heaven awaits
the more you struggle
the harder they pick up the stride
it goes on forever
struggle in vain
'til the very last day of your life
and it's all the same
a life outworn
by failure, conceit and despair
while the soul is severed
fail to indulge
to a spirit left hollow and bare
still you cry it's name
and still you cry it's name
when in the end
it's all the same
