Lyrics Greater Invocation of Disgust - Thou

Greater Invocation of Disgust

I give to you, I give to you
A brief assembly of ugly thoughts
A recitation of the barbarous names
A dark stain on righteous superiority
A bilious denouncement of uniqueness
We are no different than all of the beasts
Roaming in the wilds and roosting in the muck
That thoughtless, unknowing, lifeless offal
All the gauze of our complexities—
Morals and emotions, tortured inner dialogue—
An ethereal sheen to mask the prison of an existence
We’ve got nothing but hatred!
An ethereal sheen to mask the prison of an existence we will never understand
We will never understand
Let the rank tongue blossom
Recite the barbarous names
Feel a savage pleasure—perverse and cruel delight—
In widening the gulfs, in reinforcing the walls
Then die alone on the isle of Setebos
Our legacy adding up to a heap of meaninglessness
We thoughtless, unknowing, lifeless offal
