Profoundly punished am I
Bound to bear witness to this global masquerade
In which kings and fools may be the
same
Theatrical innocence and whoredom are abloom
In the rotten hierarchy fundamentally deaf to all truths
Narrow is the
path of the compassionate
Vain is the philanthropic approach
Making haste from the womb to the stage
To star an incoherrent
martyrplay
I bow to Osiris-Typhon
And to the grandeur of His ascendancy
Within, about and beyond me
I extol the
sun-outshining Mercury
That steals the feeble's vision
Consider me as a potential iconoblast
As a gun pointed at your
foreheads
Without mercy and remorse
I tread on the debris of benevolence
And assault the most sacrosanct
Corrupted to the
core and, yet, so sinless
Terminally short on dignity
Just barely breathing in morality's stranglehold
If self-delusion was a
crime,
You'd be taken straight to the gallows
Narrow is the path of the compassionate
Vain is the philanthropic
approach
Making haste from the womb to the stage
To star an incoherrent martyrplay
Profoundly rewarded am I
Stripped of
all humane amidst this global masquerade
