Sages and Sadducees Lyrics


Thus fulfills the sky-bound wish

of which the prophets told

Bereft of the fallen creature

confounding saints of old

Bled forth in its shadowed state

and scapegoats cloaked in veil

For the whom the seekers toil unleashed

where no flesh shall prevail

Carcasses where vultures gather

The season and its signs

Serpents dwell in fruitless vineyards

Venom consumed as wine

Like devils perched on angels wings

breaching Heaven's gates

The soulish feed on forked-tongue lies

and reap a devil's fate

Ancient wisdom - Euphemisms

Mystic shadows - Crypticism

Fools perish for their folly

to vomit dogs return

Deceivers stroke the cheeks of harlots

for whom their senses yearn

Discernment cast like pearls to swine

and bears the weight of scorn

While swine are slaughtered on the altar

in vain is sackcloth torn

Scorning wisdom for syncretism

Compelling the wise to forge division

Woe to those who call evil good

Woe to those who call good evil
