Synergy

Opposer of the one you claim to serve
Your self-righteousness
Breeding arrogance and pride
Justifying legalism with a distorted
Perception of submission
Salvation by grace,
Christianity by performance

Lust for power, desire to rule,
The beauty of life
The feeling of guilt, your weapon of choice
To control the hearts and thoughts
Of the ones you say you love
They are but shadows
In the periphery of your ego
You are the super-Christian,
Empowered and installed by God
No sin. No mistakes

Psychopath - blinded by hypocrisy
Psychopath - actions of inadequacy

Your moral rearmament of others
Developing shallow minds
With a total lack of identity
Stealing their freedom, the one that was
Bought at a high price
No compassion - No love
The intoxication of power feeding your ego
While your 150 are going to hell
Oblivious to the masquerade,
The idyllic facade
Pulled over their eyes
To blind them from the truth

Man - born with the nature of evil
All inherited the sin from Adam
No man escaped
The commandments - the law
No one were able to fulfil
No man was pure
Everyone's share was death
All was dark - hopelessness ruled

Light intervened
Annihilating darkness
The path of salvation made clear
For the prodigal human race

Given to mankind
For all to receive
The sacrifice of life
For all to believe

This unnatural act of love
A model for succession
The act of forgiveness
A supernatural force

The Plague threatening the status quo
Imposed afflictions between
Leviathan and the divine
Who's to blame
And who's to say it isn't so?

Emancipation
Beyond the bare bone
Liberation
Of spirit and soul

The unclear course of nature
Violations, separations
For every action and reaction
A matter of consequence
Ways of changing the score

But the Lord comforts me more
Than the riches of the earth
The cares of the world
For the purse is a dead cause
Far worse than woe
And carries the stamp of human vanity

The worship of creation
Seeming endless
But it will end
And every knee shall bow

Thoughts of a coincidental existence
And a futureless world corrodes into the
Spinal chord of the narcissistic man
A paradigm shift for worse
My ego is my god
Given authority by the enlightenment
Of science,
The enlightenment of the age of freedom
Freedom - the name in which we legalize all
The name in which we tolerate all

Credibility for truth, image for substance
Weakness and failure
- unbearable elements in life
Subtly opposed through an endless flow of
Constantly replaced trends, neither allowed
To mature nor to fade
The surroundings,
A mirror reflecting the signals
Of admiration that makes my identity
A constant egocentricity providing a
Purging of anything threatening popularity

The peak of this shallowness
Displayed by the so-called stars
In their quest for self-actualisation
This beautiful people experiencing
The illusion of narcissistic prosperity,
Uncritically and boundlessly admired,
Simply for their own sake

And so it's the end
The hollow end
So speed the process
Again and again
Move as fast as you can
Like the wind
On no end

Horizontal flickering
Like flash before my eyes
Recurring pictures
The holocaust
Over and over
Burnt into my mind
Like bright stars

I will deliver
Your work shall be forever
I will endure
Keep my strength in you

Memories fade
Cease to pause
To measure time
To treasure day
But when I see it
The way I see it

I swear the scissors have moved
At a distance - in space
The constellations have changed
