Lyrics:
“A species marked by coarseness and natural effrontery”, Stendhal

Your disdain can only nourish me
You keep telling them, who face your stare
Crystallising your imagination
Reality conveys a mission
A hierarchy of values you’re building up
Was it worth to spill so much blood?

Fingers carving the course of
HISTORY (YOU)
The Red of choices unforgotten piling up your
GREED (YOU)
Red ambition resting in the arms of
PURE (YOU)
Deceit
Tainted wings are torn apart and burnt by
TRUTH
—
Forever wandering your soul must be
The mirror of your deeds stares back at you
Red eyes of fire carving your abuse
Enslaved to a tyrant neither Death may kill
Take on the burden, for history and the records of
HUMANITY (YOU)
Enter The halls of immortality through
VANITY (YOU)
Facing the crossroad of demise, beliefs and
LIES (YOU)
Resentment burning when Ambition fills your
PRIDE (YOU)
The fear of failing / while nothing has to fail
