The List - Ingested

There’s still blood to be shed

We’ve cast aside the meat and sinew

No longer bounded by the shackles of our minds

Of course our legacy continues

And when you speak of us you better pick a side

Dismiss?

Negate?

Contempt?

Acclaim that warrants envy

Respect, support and bond

Dedication unrivalled

The ones who did us best, ascend with us to infamy

The rest are left to rot, victims of their blasphemy

Crawl to the back of the line, you’ve made the list, now grow a spine

There is a place, there is a time, we will be one with the divine

This could end tomorrow, try and take it I’ll show no mercy

And still you’d cry but with sorrow, as you drown in mediocrity

This place was made for God, now tell me what you see

Ignore these rival corpses, only truth will set you free

Admit that you were wrong, rejoice in Man’s swansong

You’ll never be our equal, but it’s here where you belong

Deep euphoria, accept, defect

The legends are all true

Intense, both love and fear

Forgiveness is a privilege, atonement’s why we let you in

Oh what a gift we’ve given, born again without your sin

Dismiss?

Negate?

Contempt?

Acclaim that warrants envy

Respect, support and bond

Dedication unrivalled

The ones who did us best, ascend with us to infamy

The rest are left to rot, victims of their blasphemy

Crawl to the back of the line, you’ve made the list, now grow a spine

There is a place, there is a time, we will be one with the divine

This could end tomorrow, try and take it I’ll show no mercy

And still you’d cry but with sorrow, as you drown in mediocrity

This is holy ground, now walk where only gods may tread

Leap now if you’re faithless, obey the words that were not said

This place was made for God, now tell me what you see

Ignore these rival corpses, only truth will set you free

This place was made for God, but Hell is all you see

Self-Impaled before false idols, and blinded by your jealousy
