Myopic Empire

Diseased, the inner sanctum dies
Rhapsodized, before your sightless eyes
Demise, tartarus in disguise
Your words, all but stigmatized

Like a body without a soul
And a sacrifice of faith
The desire to be flesh
Yet forced to abdicate

Pain
Pain, myopic empire
Pain
Pain, myopic empire

Shelter to a venal mind
Subsistence within your own decline

You betrayed me to my face
Though professing to seek the truth
Nowhere near a fleshless decay
Your relinquished purity of youth

Pain
Pain, myopic empire
Pain
Pain, myopic empire

Pain
Pain, myopic empire
Pain
Pain, myopic empire

And in all incessant bitterness
A lack of comprehension
Intoxicated by my suffering
Thou shall suffer too

Pain
Pain, myopic empire
Pain
Pain, myopic empire

Pain
Pain, myopic empire
Pain
Pain, myopic empire

Pain (like a body without a soul)
Pain, myopic empire (and a sacrifice of faith)
Pain (the desire to be flesh)
Pain, myopic empire (yet forced to abdicate)

Pain (Like a body without a soul)
Pain, myopic empire (and a sacrifice of faith)
Pain (The desire to be flesh)
Pain, myopic empire (yet forced to abdicate)
