The worship of elements is equal to the worship of deities. Making distinctions between life, body, and soul is derived from the ego. A dissonant note is the product of substitutionary atonement. As we go down the wrong path there will be a warning to which we ought to pay heed. As it continues in the wrong direction, happiness will end. What follows is a legislated reality. This brings on power forces who siphon off the fat and steal what is left of culture. They replace it with fake culture or, in some cases, nothing.
lyrics
Culture scratching, urban instinct.
Pagan pagan. Crawling around, crawling around.
Will you concede again. Dream of body and soul.
Distorted dissonance contorted on a cross.
Culture beware this is a nightmare.
Culture diving further under.
Banshee banshee. Wailing around, wailing around.
Will you not sing again. Touch effeminate cry.
Tied to a beast with fire for its eyes.
Culture beware this is a nightmare.
Culture intake, power curbed on.
Demon demon. Robbing around, robbing around.
We'll sacrifice again. Burning out of control.
Spike for the fit ensures the blood to flow.
Culture beware this is a nightmare.
They torture you, they torture me.
