Ascension (feat. Dean Lamb & Archspire)

I, no sage, no archetype
No mark to qualify
Unwarranted though it may be
Ascension into dominance is my eventuality

No limits to my selfish valiance
Their shattered skulls become my chalice
A shrine once sacred, now tainted and stained
I feel this vicious greed coursing through my veins

Synthesize the power
Spreading false dichotomy
Morals compromised, fabricated lies
Corruption forced on me
Synthesize the power
Conquer and devour
Allegiance to deceive

Allegiance to deceive

I'm a vessel
For compliance
Keep the masses hypnotized
Mechanized, weaponized
No free will in this fight

A new day of suffering
Collapse into coercion
Remove what's left of me
Nothing but destruction

Synthesize the power
Spreading false dichotomy
Morals compromised, fabricated lies
Corruption forced on me
Synthesize the power
Conquer and devour
Allegiance to deceive

Synthesize the power
Spreading false dichotomy
Morals compromised, fabricated lies
Corruption forced on me
Synthesize the power
Conquer and devour
Allegiance to deceive

This burden of enlightenment
Beneath this crushing weight
Gone is the bliss of ignorance
Inner war remains
