From the recording The Powers III (MONEY & FREEDOM CORRUPTS)
Lyrics
Bones become the bars that hold me down!
Every breath a chain around my throat!
Flesh has formed a fortress, walls of agony!
No escape from this cathedral of disease!
I am the architect of my damnation!
Built these walls with every way she thought!
Consciousness becomes the one that cuts me open!
Spilling out the poison I've become!
Can you hear the screaming from the void within my skull!
Can you taste it depleting as reality dissolves!
This temple made of torment, this prison made of bone
I fought against the inside, but the cage is unknown
Rip apart the fabric, tear down every wall!
But I'm shackled to existence by the weight of it all!
Every nerve awakens occupation!
As fierce the beast is rising!
The eternity of abominable cessation!
Mind becomes the executioner of self!
Behold the kings are crumbling from within!
Thrown off in a praying crowd of flesh!
This vessel is the crucible of madness!
Burning with the fire of colors!
(Can you hear the screaming from the void within my skull)
(Can you taste it depleting)
As reality dissolves!
This temple made of torment, this prison made of bone!
I fought against the inside, but the cage is unknown!
Rip apart the fabric, tear down every wall!
But I'm shackled to existence by the weight of it all!
I am the warden, I am the prisoner!
Locked in eternal conflict!
With the demon in the mirror!
Arise from this decay!
Arise
Destroy what holds you captive
Destroy
But how do you break free
When you are both the lock and key!
This temple made of torment, this prison made of bone!
I tear apart the inside till there's nothing left to own!
Obliterate the fabric, burn down every wall!
I'll shatter my existence to be free from it all!
Freedom through annihilation, liberation through the fall!
The cage is home to nothing when there's no one left at all!
I am the warden, I am the prisoner!
ARISE!
POISON IN MY ASS!
(ASS, ASS, ASS, ASS, A, A, A, A, A, ASS)
RISE!
UP MY ASS!
DONT REALLY CARE!
RISE!!!!!
HELP!!!
HELP!!!
REE!
