This is a revelation
I am waiting here to die
Hanging and bloodied
The apple of my Father's eye
An ample carnal offering to forever sate his ire
The emaciation of the soul, the evisceration of desire
But my children mourn not my battered flesh
Cover thine eyes from the blood of reality
In harmony and agony, my grace will guide you through
To comfort you, within you
To punish you, become you
My eyes peel open, I'm met with a mirror of black
This lack of divine, no light shining back
Withering image of flesh and bone, earth and stone
The cave has been opened, can I step outside?
The sun illuminates truth
I close my eyes
My children gather now around
Bear witness to this martyrdom
The lamb of god
Slaughtered on this maternal ground
Stakes pierce the flesh, my blood is freed
She drinks my blood for you
"The acorns fell on the roof then too
Kept falling, and falling, and dying, and dying
And I understood that everything that used to be beautiful about Eden was perhaps hideous
Now I could hear what I couldn't hear before
The cry of all the things that are to die"
"That's all very touching
If it was a children's book
Acorns don't grow
You know that as well as I do
That's what fear is
Your thoughts distort reality
Not the other way around"
"Satan's church
Nature is Satan's church
Why there you have it
That was his will"
Why?
Show me reason why my loving Father, so benevolent
Requires the sacrifice of his only son
What father desires the pain of his own spawn?
What love warrants the suffering of anyone?
I look to the crowd to seek their approval
But they bark and they snarl and lust at my removal
They condemn like Gods
Yet they wield no power
And such is humanity
Why embrace, when we can devour?
I now am helpless, nothing, free
Sunlight pours in
Cosmic vastness, revelation
Death, the only end
Now that I can see, I close my eyes forever
I feel that void
Feel hysterical laughter
I hear the voices of the dead, and the irony in their calls
Now that they can see, there's nothing to see at all
My Father, my father, progenitor you cannot be
This flesh is the summation of all that I am, all I shall ever be
My Father, my God
Why have you forsaken me?
I am waiting here to die
Hanging and bloodied
The apple of my Father's eye
An ample carnal offering to forever sate his ire
The emaciation of the soul, the evisceration of desire
But my children mourn not my battered flesh
Cover thine eyes from the blood of reality
In harmony and agony, my grace will guide you through
To comfort you, within you
To punish you, become you
My eyes peel open, I'm met with a mirror of black
This lack of divine, no light shining back
Withering image of flesh and bone, earth and stone
The cave has been opened, can I step outside?

Slaughtered on this maternal ground
