Preach upon your stone vessel Your agony ascends you to the sky Starve upon your burdened castle Senseless endurance deems you superior to I Find him tripping off the lowest star The pillars of man can only reach so far You can open your eyes, and walk below Or you can close your mind, and stand on the pole When the orphan cries, and the beggars clone I won't spare the time to stare upon your stone Sacrifice captivates the masses A bane form neglects the human plight Deformed shadows, above the highest classes Brilliant visions lost, without balanced insight Say a prayer tonight Keep yourself upright Mind a fool's advice: pay the final price
