Ceremonial Lies

by Ghost Town   Apr 3, 2006


Plagued by this burden
These things I behold
World in shambles
Life as it's told
Watching the death
Of the dear things I hold

But clear I see now
It comes back to you
For all your power
See you not what you do?
For all your false hopes
Where are your truths?

As I stand here alone
As walls fall by my side
Now I see what you are
Now I see what you hide

You are......vengeance
You are......silence
You are.......pain
You are......death

For all that you've caused
I would silence your breath

As I grew older
I saw your false side
The merciful image
Behind which you hide
You the creator
Of all homicide
Wishing and waiting
Growing up in your fiction
I began to see
Our dreadful addiction
To your pill of religion
Completely restricted

As I look at your world
And your role as its tailor
It all becomes clear
You've created a failure
And each time I look
It just makes me paler

You bask in your worship
You gloat of your crimes
But this isn't over
For now is the time
For me to take your world
And make it mine

Laying in bed
I reach for the stars
I wish this would end
That your world would part
Laying alone
At the end of my rope

I wish I could feel
My hands on your throat
Here in the dark
I'm going insane
But don't treat me different
You made me this way
