The List

There's still blood to be shed.
We've cast aside the meat and sinew,
No longer bounded by the shackles of our minds.
Of course our legacy continues,
And when you speak of us you better pick a side.

Dismiss? Negate? Contempt?
Acclaim that warrants envy.
Respect, support and bond,
Dedication unrivalled.

The ones who did us best, ascend with us to infamy,
The rest are left to rot, victims of their blasphemy.

Crawl to the back of the line, you've made the list, now grow a spine.
There is a place, there is a time, we will be one with the divine.

This could end tomorrow, try and take it I'll show no mercy.
And still you'd cry but with sorrow, as you drown in mediocrity.

This place was made for God, now tell me what you see.
Ignore these rival corpses, only truth will set you free.
Admit that you were wrong, rejoice in Man's swansong.
You'll never be our equal, but it's here where you belong.

Deep euphoria, accept, defect.
The legends are all true,
Intense, both love and fear.
Forgiveness is a privilege, atonement's why we let you in,
Oh what a gift we've given, born again without your sin.

Dismiss? Negate? Contempt?
Acclaim that warrants envy.
Respect, support and bond,
Dedication unrivalled.

The ones who did us best, ascend with us to infamy,
The rest are left to rot, victims of their blasphemy.

Crawl to the back of the line, you've made the list, now grow a spine.
There is a place, there is a time, we will be one with the divine.

This could end tomorrow, try and take it I'll show no mercy.
And still you'd cry but with sorrow, as you drown in mediocrity.

This is holy ground, now walk where only gods may tread.
Leap now if you're faithless, obey the words that were not said.

This place was made for God, now tell me what you see.
Ignore these rival corpses, only truth will set you free.
This place was made for God, but Hell is all you see.
Self-Impaled before false idols, and blinded by your jealousy.
