Unattained

Revocation

Righteousness reaching out cunning hands,
Molding minds of the meek
Mind-fucked by the hope of a promised land,
Unattained reward not received

A pious purpose, automated response,
A synthetic, sympathetic reaction
In sheltered simplicity emotions are lost,
To dispassionate stupefaction

An innocent indoctrination, numbing mind-conversion,
Thoughts beaten down while spirit drowns in ignorance immersion

(Abandon all hope) see, feel, hear and taste nothing,
(Within and without) surrounded by suffering,
(Deliver) me from my senses

Spurn the consolation of religion,
And illusions of immortality
When your savor eternal suffering,
Purged, purified, you'll be set free

Desperately I seek truth
From thoughts running through my mind
Striving forward with baited breath
I reach for what it hides

An innocent indoctrination, numbing mind-conversion
Thoughts beaten down while spirit drowns in ignorance immersion

(Abandon all hope) see, feel, hear and taste nothing
(Within and without) surrounded by suffering
(Deliver) me from my senses
