Golden Idol

Going in blind in a high

Hands are tied

Can you find

The northern star behind this nihilism

Fatalist lies

Still benign

Show a sign

Would you pry?

Enshrined and streamline

Under your eyes

Do you find sick joy in acting all coy?

As the lights entwine to classify and reignite

Idolistic prayers echo with an empty stare

A false prophet's nightmare

Underneath Epione's eyes

You made your vow 'neath

Gethsemane's light

Through a pious veil and a reverent gaze

Your face stayed blank as you soared into a haze

God plays everything in our sights

O virtuoso

Weaving the night

God plays everything in our sights

Would you bless my wilted feathers?

Set them alight

Kisses minted in silver

Love

No wine left untasted

No song left unsung

Trick the styx through a sinful minuet

And

Watch the sunlight melt right through you

Golden idol split in two

Angels drawn by the break of dawn

Take gentle faith and a cryptic wraith

Their stakes are played in a ricochet

And when they break it's too little

Too late

Angels drawn by the break of dawn

Take desperate faith and a wicked wraith

With feathers robbed from a rotting God

You write your wrongs with your bloodied maw

Yet

Underneath Epione's eyes

You made your vow 'neath

Gethsemane's light

Through a pious veil and a reverent gaze

Your face stayed blank as you soared into a haze

Underneath Apate's guise

You changed your vow 'neath

Gethsemane's knife

With a bloodlet dove in a wired bouquet

Your face stayed blank as you tore into your prey

God plays everything in our sights

O virtuoso

Weaving the night

God plays everything in our sights

Would you pluck my wilted feathers?

Make them divine

Kisses minted in silver

Love

No wine left untasted

No song left unsung

Unrepentant

A cruel Iscariot

And

Watch the sunlight melt right through you

Golden idol split in two

Laugh from dusk to dawn

Play your disconcerted pawn

A sick display of awe

While you thing you're

Higher than a God

Weld your wings just like a fraud

Embracing your façade

God plays everything in our sights

O virtuoso

Weaving the night

God plays everything in our sights

Would you bless my wilted feathers

Set them alight

A divination leaves me in candlelight

Maybe it's ire

Maybe it's spite

I wanna fuck your vanity

Fuck my pride

As my rotten set of feathers

Melds to your spine

Kisses tainted with venom

Love

Voices soft as thunder

Compulsions cruel as God

Burst asunder

A vain Iscariot

And

Watch the sunlight melt right through you

Golden idol split in two

Hey

Watch the moon

It's midnight soon

So

I think it's time we bid adieu
