Endless rituals call to the void

Searching for hope through despair

Relentless persistance

Forever unanswered

Bold assumptions of a higher power

To even contemplate, empathy

Endless quest of fulfillment

Met with silence, cold and empty

Blinded by a faith

That tires of your existance

A muted transcendent

Envisioned out of ignorance

False prophets empty promises

Your deities of deception

Lust for the golden kingdom

But a figment of imagination

Vision of perfection, built on lies and ecstacy

Beholder of discontent, absolution in misanthropy

Prayers fall on deaf ears

Echoes in the halls of the divine

Absent within eternal slumber

Somnambulent of abstraction

Clinging to your precious relics

Worn down in pleas of desperation

Tear the flesh from your bending knee

As you beg into the nothingness
