Quicksand

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I'm closer to the Golden DawnImmersed in Crowley's uniformOf imageryI'm living in a silent filmPortraying Himmler's sacred realmOf dream realityI'm frightened by the total goalDrawing to the ragged holeAnd I ain't got the power, anymoreNo I ain't got the power anymoreI'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyesLiving proof of Churchill's liesI'm destinyI'm torn between the light and darkWhere others see their targetsDivine symmetryShould I kiss the viper's fangOr herald loud the death of ManI'm sinking in the quicksand of my thoughtAnd I ain't got the power anymoreDon't believe in yourselfDon't deceive with beliefKnowledge comes with death's releaseI'm not a prophet or a stone age manJust a mortal with the potential of a supermanI'm living onI'm tethered to the logic of Homo SapienCan't take my eyes from the great salvationOf bullshit faithIf I don't explain what you ought to knowYou can tell me all about itOn the next BardoI'm sinking in the quicksand of my thoughtAnd I ain't got the power anymoreDon't believe in yourselfDon't deceive with beliefKnowledge comes with death's releaseDon't believe in yourselfDon't deceive with beliefKnowledge comes with death's release
