Faith, Hope, Self-Deception - Anata

Despise the lie!

What makes you strong is what I hate

The plague that heals your wounds

All you believe makes you sane, strong

Immune

Truth would destroy you

You would wish for death

If you saw what I see

And you would die, but I would see

You while you would fall

Before me

Fall before me

Soon you will be

Under my feet

And left behind like all conquered lies

If you could cleanse your soul

And leave deception far behind

We would never be equal

Because free I stand, rid of lies

But without lies you would be no more

I do not envy you

I do not want what you have got

I only wish to see you die

By your own hand

Deprived of all that made you live

Tough fuck, sad but true

Your vision… a reflection of you

Without substance

No reason

Yes, I want to spread the truth

To all of you who were seeking truth

But reality behind your veils

Is far beyond your frame of mind

Drained of what you thought was life

You would be like an empty shell

Hollow, used and thrown away

Fragile as crystal in my hand

Broken shell, empty and small

What will become of you?

Your life is worth less

Than sand under my feet

Leave deception far behind!

We will never be equal

Because free I stand, rid of lies

But without lies you’d be no more

Can I ever make you see

Or even think like me?

No, you will always feel

Safe like the child

Not knowing his father won’t be back

For fire… burn with me

Know me deep inside

For truth… see what I see

Take my hand or fall before me
