Lyrics Degradation - Denominate

Degradation

In a material world, we undervalue ourselves
Distorted worship, identified as life
Forgotten, natural beauty, and death
Unilateral falsity, polarity
Contrasting between the shades
Friction caused by our relentless
Dependance of control
Whipped ever onward
By the masters scourge
Carnal pleasures linked impurely
To a supposed higher purpose
Commanded by an iron grip of fear
To make us unable to see what we’ve become
And what is meant to be
Become
Can’t I take a step back?
From the edge of this pit of hopeless recoil
Or leap over the abyss
To purify sins committed?
Virtues omitted, divinity castrated
No shortcuts in the hedge maze
Only thorns in the spirit
Forgotten, natural beauty, and death
Unilateral falsity, polarity
Contrasting between the shades
And therein we nurture
That insatiable ego
That rends deep and wounds
Not only the flesh
But the soul
