Alghazanth

Horns And Feathers

Alghazanth


In the aftermath of another escape from reality 
Exhausted you lay, circled by nothingness 
You sank so deep... lacking the strength to surface again 

Miracles and revelations, or just hallusinations? 
God tends to speak only at the moments of weakness 
As ruins are easier to conquer 

Guilt batters with a killer's fist 
Forcing you to confess your supposed sins 
Hoping for heaven, afraid of hell 
You sealed your decay with a shallow prayer 

How real can this revival be 
When it's merely compensating your low self-esteem? 
Life-long submission seems to be the price of faith 
So, will the bleeding hearts give more than they take? 

Drifting with the winds out at the sea of deceit 
The fear of god is all you have 
No sign of the promised salvation 
An addict to punishment and restrain 
Paints horns and feathers within the same frames 

Helped up from the pit 
And thrown down into a deeper one
