The God in Ruins Lyrics by Opium Warlords

Taste My Sword of Understanding

2014

Oh grandeur of such destiny
To fall from the immeasurable heights
To fall and to become broken
I who have no end and no beginning
I who am not like any other
Without companion and comparison
Through the minds and tongues
Of lunatics
I spoke to men of might
They built statues and temples
To conciliate my anger
They wrote thousands of pages of studies
To construe my existence
They painted pictures
And constructed mandalas
To open the gates
To my enlightenment
And I was never there
I never revealed my mysteries to them
I was always away
Far away
In the hearts of those who
Covered with their own sick
Crawled in the gutters
With strong drugs burning in their veins
With faces branded with violence
With appearances of inner emptiness
With lust for love and comfort
But aptitude only for rape and murder
Like them
I have no tears
And no laughter
No joy
No sorrow
They are empty
And I am overwhelming
We balance each other
My ultimate light
Deepens their pitiful shadows
Together we create darkness
That lurks in the cold corners
Of candlelit temples
Weak is the human heart
And always longing to enter my kingdom
But the doors are closed
And the festivals have ended
Love was given
And love was lost
You are together in suffering
I am alone and out of your reach
Fallen into the pit
Inside the interiors of myself
Inside the creation of myself
And the apocalypse of your age
3-5-0-1-2-5
