Orphalis - Gnosis in Self-Immolation lyrics

As liar to self, afflicted thought and action Restrained in chains, errors in refraction Impulse control, to the brink of inaction Or complete lack thereof Unleashed chain reaction Engorgement of the caustic Born to revel in the gnostic Capital "T" truth, reasoning's deflected The gnosis in, self-immolation rise Decepting the conscious Denial of the essence to seek Crawling down the lifer's path From awareness til d**h The will to ingest, what must be swallowed whole Is found beneath the pyre, ignited in unrest Reject the guise of abjection Misguided penance is born Through guilt and deprecation For sins that never were Rejecting misguided penance For sins that never were The only goal is acceptance Of a life that follows will The intrinsic ugliness (revelation) Of what may lay beneath it all (deprevation) No longer can it repulse the urge (indication) Acts of auto aggressive rage (determination) Reject the guise of abjection, misguided penance is born Of guilt and deprecation, for sins that never were To burn, to turn, a lesson almost learned As fire fuels fire, as skin peels away, lifeblood and bone turn to ash
