4. Shrouded Divinity (6:36)
Seething at the boundaries of time
Held captive to this transient state
Longing for release
From this temporal prison
Where serpents lie in wait at the gates
I long for freedom
From this delusion
There is no power in
Mere resolutions
Dogmatic cures
For the eternal disease
Their religion is as bloodied
As the scars on their knees
Few are the faithful casting shadows
Exposing their deceitful thrones
Payed the price in martyrs blood
Beneath their sacred stones
Kingdom of transgressive harlots
Deceptively enslaved
Submerged in darkness - clothed in light
Entirely depraved
I long for freedom
From this delusion
Behold the wayward falsely hallowed
Exalting self to feed the beast
Cursed from conception without rebirth
To feed the flames that will not cease
Slaves to sin that still remains
No human flesh removes the stain
Tightly bound by inner pride
While ignorance remains....
Concealed in mystery
Shrouded Divinity
Source of reality
True light of tranquility
Behold the ancient sacrifice
The face of God in flesh
Nailed to a bloodied cross
That souls may find their rest
Held captive to this transient state
Longing for release
From this temporal prison
Where serpents lie in wait at the gates
I long for freedom
From this delusion
There is no power in
Mere resolutions
Dogmatic cures
For the eternal disease
Their religion is as bloodied
As the scars on their knees
Few are the faithful casting shadows
Exposing their deceitful thrones
Payed the price in martyrs blood
Beneath their sacred stones
Kingdom of transgressive harlots
Deceptively enslaved
Submerged in darkness - clothed in light
Entirely depraved
I long for freedom
From this delusion
Behold the wayward falsely hallowed
Exalting self to feed the beast
Cursed from conception without rebirth
To feed the flames that will not cease
Slaves to sin that still remains
No human flesh removes the stain
Tightly bound by inner pride
While ignorance remains....
Concealed in mystery
Shrouded Divinity
Source of reality
True light of tranquility
Behold the ancient sacrifice
The face of God in flesh
Nailed to a bloodied cross
That souls may find their rest
