Self-Denial - Metal Inquisitor

He who swears on a mighty flag, has nothing left that belongs to him

Devastation of the inner self, solitude beneath the skin

Sacrifice all of your needs, ignoring lust and desires

Purgation in words and deeds, instinct degraded to lies

Be better than you, appear to be, once you’ve seen it, whatever’s in sight

Be harder against, yourself even more, bring me the truth straight to the light

Mortification for a higher goal, he doesn’t know his metes and bounds

Conversation to clean the soul, he is spending time to lick his wounds

Sacrifice all of your needs, ignoring lust and desires

Purgation in words and deeds, instinct degraded to lies

Be better than you, appear to be, once you’ve seen it, whatever’s in sight

Be harder against, yourself even more, bring me the truth straight to the light

He who swears on a mighty flag, has nothing left that belongs to him

Devastation of the inner self, solitude beneath the skin

Sacrifice all of your needs, ignoring lust and desires

Purgation in words and deeds, instinct degraded to lies

Be better than you, appear to be, once you’ve seen it, whatever’s in sight

Be harder against, yourself even more, bring me the truth straight to the light

Be better than you whatever’s in sight…

Be harder against — straight to the light
