cult of icons (live​@​mughall 1998)

from Alamoth's Demise (w​/​select lyrics) [2008] by Lackthrow

lyrics

cold stares
deified.
long & thin
fingers of gloomy saints
take them to war for you
fight your battles for you
love them to death
show them what they cannot show you
pieces of the principles
upon which they're pretended
idolize & defile
lie to begin the parade
silly puppets, begging another icon to help them
plead for eternal peace
love me, love me, love me, love me
the gloomy face of the holy
is ruined
destroyed by their affection
rigid characters
saints without life
performing miracles
only you want to see
so bad that you do
the extraordinary possibly impossible within this wood
divine certainty
you are blind
worship the created
neither the creator of the creator
there lies no magic here
no supernatural wonders
you want too much
you wish until you bleed
the spirit of your dead worship is all that lies here
in this tortured image of graven wood
material
objectified then sanctified
fall to your knees
weep & pray
shed most desperate tears
face down before the empty face
weeping with stench of incense
forgery of the one
fraud of the true
look into the highest sky
pseudo halo
look
it has been broken
look
it has been broken
