[Part I: The Vision]
[Part II: Cultural Gas-Lighting]
Operation of inefficiency
Insalubrious hierarchy
Of rape and abuse, submission and distrust
Existential incongruity
Systematic dilapidation
Authoritarian inferiority complex
A foundation that stands as pillars of sand
The ball and chain of command
This slavish code of misplaced honor
The projection of one's personal trials
We're going through the motions of the downward spiral
Life? Survival? Immortally suicidal
[Part III: Frog In A Boiling Pot]
Imperialism is composed by many layers
Pervaded with contaminated ideals
Conveyed flavorfully, affected with zest
Depersonalization: classic hegelian dialect
Depression portrayed with enthusiasm
Poverty portrayed as wealth
The ones who are the buyers
Are also the ones who purvey it the best

-Live at Behemoth Grove-
[Part I: For The 'Greater Good']
"Always trampling each other to achieve
Your illusory completions
You will never see what is right before you
If you never stop to look..."
[Part II: Not Merely A Lie, A Mistruth]
Stop the whalers as you celebrate
The abortion of your young
And much like everyone else, you speak
With a double-edged sword as your tongue
One side resembling a lie
And the other the truth
We are aging into
The petty squabble of our youth
-
We eat each other alive like cannibals
No conscience, just arrogance and selfishness
Forged into our hearts
Were we doomed from the very start?
-
Preach the words of Jesus Christ
As you invade the middle east
Fight for your right to own a gun
Whilst you illegalize homosexuality
Elitism: in the pursuit of amelioration
Live to "cleanse" the black from the white
With all your avid fixation on dominating others
How can you honestly say that you are "pro-life"?
[Part III: The Shadows Of The Valley]
So allow me to demonstrate
This fortune of fortunes
You will proceed your evils
But with good intentions
With your maker as your scapegoat
You breed hatred in Her name
All in vain...
Is this really what we have become?
Are we all but adumbrations - cast by the sun?
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil..."
But must we fear ourselves
For have we become
What we've walked through
In this valley
That we should both allow
And demonstrate it
Whether in broad daylight
Or in dark alleys
It is unfortunate
That we have become
...What we believed we were running from:
The shadows of the valley...
