Lyrics Hubris - Portraits

Hubris

Lie awake
Shadows fill the room above him, dominate his mind
Tangible measurements will certify that ghostly skulls don’t lie
The mind reveals itself in shape and measure
Singular harmony in shape and measure
Inherent quality in shape and measure
And human origin untold!
A truth and a lie intertwined
Lucid thought undermined
Bias left behind
I’m left behind
Caught up in paradigm
Reconcile with design
Bias left behind
I’m left behind!
Nevermore
Hatred would be tolerated, then he swore to find
He would find a pedestal to teach the masses
Self assured hindsight
Look back with certainty and change the story
Set out to demonise and change the story
Shout down and ostracise and change the story
Persuade the weak at any cost!
The able led by the blind
Lucid thought undermined
Bias left behind
I’m left behind
Caught up in paradigm
Reconcile with design
Bias left behind
We’re left behind
My belief will come to blind me
Blind me, blind me
Use the power you hold wisely
Let the truth free
My belief will come to blind me
Blind me, blind me
Pride will lead us all to folly
Fact or falsely
My belief will come to blind me
Blind me, blind me
Who will find their courage lonely?
With no decree
My belief will come to blind me
Blind me, blind me!
My beliefs have come to blind me
Blind me, blind me!
My convictions set will blind me
Blind me, blind me!
This is eye for an eye
Lucid thought undermined
Bias left behind
And left behind
Two mistakes make a right
Single goal through a fight
Bias left behind
We’re left behind
My beliefs will come to blind me
Blind me, blind me!
Use the power you hold wisely
Let the truth free!
Pride will lead us all to folly
Fact or falsely!
My beliefs are here to blind me
Blind me, blind me!
