Eternal Kingdoms, Pt. 1 - Ingested

Fighting before my very eyes

Is the true self and the ego

Reconcile within

Or the masochist will win

Impose my will, forget my sins

What bares the better fruit?

Enlightened but ignorant

Ashamed by existence?

But no one knows the truth

With hope dies dignity

But what is pride worth to the dirt?

Yet we’re the burdened

Like fate of maggots to the sky

Life is the spider to the fly

Is there a purpose?

Without the evil

How can we ever truely know the good?

Fighting before my very eyes

Is true self and the ego

Reconcile within

Or the masochist will win

Impose my will, forget my sins

Will I ever know myself?

Are we even meant to know?

Will they forgive, for all I’ve done?

Can this chrysalis be broke?

Crawl from the soil to the sun

Until the transformation comes

Imago flies, cast off these binds

Transcend this shell

There is no afterlife, just look around we’re already in hell
