Golgotha compendium: fifth temple

Now we've reached the final call where I will break you down to nothing

Suffocate, left behind to stagnate 'till we see the end of days
Timeless pain and endless weight, now I am anchored in effusion
Paradox of mortal man, I can't refrain my desperate hand
Deal the fated cards again, defy the odds as we begin to mend

Most civilized people are out of touch with reality because they confuse the world as it with the world as they think about it and talk about it and describe it. For on the one hand there is the real world and on the other there is a whole system of symbols about that world which we have in our minds. These are very, very useful symbols, all civilization depends on them, but like all good things they have their disadvantages, and the principle disadvantage of symbols is that we confuse them with reality, just as we confuse money with actual wealth.

Om mani padme hum

It's time to pick a side
Will your legacy fold under
The countless hoards of reprobates gnawing at your spine?
If you could give the world a savior, would you crucify yourself?
Or would you cower with the rest of them and earn your place in Hell?

I hear the desert call my name again for the seventh time
I fear our reach exceeds our grasp
So remind me where this ends
Hide behind the mask
Conflagrate inside a void of silence
Speak now at last
And pray to God this only ends in violence

I know that you can't save me
After all, I'm dead inside
From all that I've become
Rebuilding patterns to survive
Erasure, erasure (Erasure)

I forget just how we're supposed to live down here
I forget just how we're supposed to live down here

When you eviscerate my soul, I need a brand new body, no control
I want to store my memories in the sands
I want to see the things that no man can
And with all this light I consecrate
When the balance of the world is at stake
Will I learn from my mistakes?
Over and over again

Yeah
And now the Earth screams back at me for the final time
Soothsayer
Hold your head underwater
I don't need another breath
Hide behind the mass
Congregate and be devoid of conscience
Remain aghast when all the world can see is their own likeness
Pray to God this only ends in violence

Om mani padme hum

Well I've made up my mind
I know that you can't save me
And every step that I retrace reminds me I'm a fake
Maybe next time I won't forget all I've learned
And I won't be the one who fails
The one who always burns
I'm losing my shine
Was I ever enough?
And after all your heroes die, their souls begin to rust
No, I'll never find another person to trust
And in the end, we all were made, we all return to dust

Ocular congruity
I'm fucking done with this illusion
Myopic fantasy
Your God is a wolf within sheep's clothing
Search yourself for every righteous thought
Cling to life but don't rewrite the plot
I will burn every bridge in the world until my final day
I'll kill myself and see what God has to say
