Shadow Covenant (feat. Dave Simonich of Improvidence)

from The Return by Civortep

/

lyrics

oh how forsaken have we become
from our own wrong.
this consistent trajectory
it speaks to me
sarcastically insinuating
that this vessel ceases to contain
a genuine being

so take it away
it cant remain
this pain
and release me from my slumber
a shadow cast
wants to last
but its existence
remains dependent on our light

in this way our hearts are tied
such connections fleeing the senses
of this waking world
yet some perpetuate this divorce
with haste and vigilance
a false flag of the soul

infiltrating our home
the heart
to resume the fiend
so complacent and so weak
with no means of expressing
the joys and pain we seek
the joys and pain we receive

these lies
lay embedded deep within our function
these lies
steer minds, they slay lives and break ties
these lies
yield hatred and self managed complacency
these lies
wither away your vision, hopes,dreams and self-belief

do you believe you exist

is it all we know
or just all we've been shown
a perspective truth
serving whom
this infrastructure of doom

deceitful masters hide
while the children die
no remorse no soul
completely lacking control
fiat minded trolls
just trekking on
there's no alarm
they don't beat on drums
while dropping bombs
on quiet homes,
the screaming moms
please make it stop
her child's forever gone

we've latched onto this schism
but now we need an exorcism
from the demons that blur our vision
feasting on our collectivism
we enact the highest treason
when forfeiting our inner reason
unseen bars built this prison
yet the key remains within our prism

look within
and have no fear
return to the darkness from which we
came from as an idea

displace yourself
wash away this worldly stench
bearing down your being
from being complete

purge perspective truth with sanctity

look within
and have no fear
return to the darkness which we
came from as an idea

displace yourself
wash away this worldly stench
bearing down your being
from being complete
