Arcane Wisdom

Misanthropic Horror Magnified

Arcane Wisdom


Senseless oblivious towers 
monuments to absurdity 
oceans of ignorance 
Humanity at its cruel best! 

Oh…let me breathe, 
leave me to escape to my dwellings 
take off this blunt masque & 
sail to ice-clad mountains 
where bottomless wells and impenetrable 
forests majestically rule! 

Man…what an awesome creation! 
So eager to destroy his own genesis 
- this dying planet 
unconsciously hungry for infernal damnation 

For myriad aeons past I have travelled this galaxy 
ages ago I´ve ceased to be human 
for I am no longer, lest a mere shadow 
a dying ray of Sun at twilight or 
the terminal drop of water in Fate´s fountain 

Chorus: 

When all noble values are (shamelessly) inverted 
and brainwashed minds endure 
when animal essence is forgotten 
Misanthropic horror…magnified 

Decadence is all I see 
Triviality lies before me 
Nihilism - the only solution 
Misanthropy - the final escapism 

Your world sinks to vomiting proportions 
visions of decay spring everywhere 
entire lost civilizations 
succumb to a "worldly" oddity 

Woe and torment be behind me… 
the maze of such reality 

There is still Art in few of us, wise 
and an inner trueness to Mother Earth 
the raving oceans in our grey hearts 
and the breath of fire in our eyes 

"In this paragon of persons weak 
who pray some Lord their souls to keep 
Let them die before they wake 
I praise the Earth, lead me astray!"
