A Vile Birthright

I have never been so content
As I am standing at the top of the world
Looking out
Ready to watch the whole thing set to burn
Pissing upon the gathered masses
Laughing wickedly
They know not the peril that awaits them

Through the panic they will find
This is is the end of their wretched lives
I am a machine of vengeance
Born of the dirt
Brought forth to cleanse this fucking earth
Laying waste to all who stand begging before me
I seek to prove once and for all
That a man's weight
In flesh and filth is
Truly all he's ever worth

Playing the role of a savior
This conscience is an insipid device
Each collective breath
Will become a struggle
As I put my foot to the throat of all mankind

There will be a reckoning
For this vile birthright
Cast down upon me
Bring forth the martyrs
With serpent tongues
Bring forth every charlatan
Severing this viral symbiosis
Searching for solace
In a sea of endless disembowelment

The fallen angel
The begotten son
Hallowed ground and empty lungs
Beckon astral chaos
Distance the divide
Bending fragile souls to my will, divine

All of their beliefs
A relic of ancient pain
Seven billion living mistakes
Seven billion worthless lives erased

I set them free

And in their wake
In the shadow of their hate
A planetary awakening
A solemn silence creates

Severing this viral symbiosis
Finding my solace
In this sea of hollow human corpses

Playing the role of a savior
This conscience is an insipid device
Each collective breath
Will become a struggle
As I put my foot
To the throat of all mankind
