Carnal Grief: Nine Shades Of Pain Lyrics

I've seen your hearts - I've seen your mind
Within your presence I go blind
I've seen your souls - I've seen your cries
Eye for an eye and I hope to die
I've seen your emblems - I've seen your signs
I've seen your passions, cross over lines
I've seen your fears - I've seen your hate
In blissful ignorance you seal your fate.

[Chorus:]
What's your excuse, are you confused?
On what grounds, oh, I just don't get it
Can you explain why you're causing pain, is this what's sane?
How do you rationalize your wicked manners?

I've seen your anger – I've seen your lust
I've seen blood and guts – I'm so disgusted
I've seen your hopes – I've seen your dreams
Refined malice, they're worse than greed.
I've seen your heroes – I've seen your foes.
You're all insane, so.
I've seen your present repeat your past
I see no future, nothing learned, nothing lasts!

[Chorus:]
What's your excuse, are you confused?
On what grounds, don't know why, but I just don't get it
Can you explain why you're causing pain?
How do you rationalize your wicked manners?
I'll make you bleed.

Oh, what's in your mind?
How can you smile?
Is it your lack of remorse?
Or your will to perish?

I see a presence of meekness in the horizon.
Coming closer I feel the eyes on.
Me are grim and possessive torches
Lightening and encircling forces

Remorseful, filled with anxiety
Unwilling to see the inevitably
Omissioned mind oh so blind
With fear of separation you bind

[Chorus:]
Oh, my tin-winged angel how you heed.
With gluttonous envy you feed.
Upon your liars chair you bleed.
Envy your malicious dreed.

Frail and hollow you crumble at my feet.
Attributing the frailty to your meet.
Unable and unwilling to make commence.
Forcing your frailty on everyone else.

Repent or be forever in debt
Unworthy tears you have wept
Hark to the chant of the contempt
Embodied in flesh this is the end

[Chorus:]
Oh, my tin-winged angel how you heed.
With gluttonous envy you feed.
Upon your liars chair you bleed.
Envy your malicious dreed.

On a pedestal built on the backs of others
A marionette rules, irreproachable and inviolable
The base of power inherited unequal and unjust.
Remnants from a bygone past, still supported by the backs of others

[Chorus:]
Nepotism in absurdum - living on merits long gone
Might and influence - from a feudal society bygone
Nepotism in absurdum - living on merits long gone
Might and influence - gone since long.

An undeserved respect and obedience from their subjects
Originating from oppression and cohesion.
Realize that they're obsolete figures, they're hindering our progress
Let's evolve from these remnants and move on.

[Chorus:]
Nepotism in absurdum - living on merits long gone
Might and influence - from a feudal society bygone
Nepotism in absurdum - living on merits long gone
Might and influence - gone since long.
