Put in my place

Hands on my throat

sweat on my face

Cosmic embrace

Driven to feel

A certain kind of grace

What is this

My eyes behold

A bright and shining world

Glittering like gold

Where’s rationale

Mirage of fear

Is it even real

Screams in my ear

What’s the disease

Labyrinth of mystique

Feel my stomach rot

It’s looking pretty bleak

I’ll live for pleasure

I love the pain

The paradox of living

In the fast lane

Mankind makes up stories to justify his suffering

Where is my eagle

Feasting on my body

Piece by piece

No satisfaction

Where is my symbol

An icon to love

A sacrifice of flesh

Desire for divine

Beggars can’t be choosers

Children of the Earth

Stewards of imperfection

Conquering with mirth

Granting compassion

Clearing my vision

Or is it all a dream

Not what I envisioned

I want omnipotent destiny

Where is my eagle

Feasting on my body

Piece by piece

No satisfaction

Where is my symbol

An icon to love

A sacrifice of flesh

Desire for divine
