Paroles de Mind Effigies

Listen to my words, for they're made of fire I hearken to a call from beyond Whispers soaring through space and time From aeons of chaos, into a labyrinth of doubt To foresee the fall of empires, to understand the shame Of a mind cast out of balance, a victim of foul play? Neurons frozen, or so it seems Misdirected, I lay my plead Seeking guidance from madness, I'll cling to this Misconnected, mind effigies I am the sullied interior; I am the ghost in black Calling all war fronts to the siege within Cortex spilling, crimson seeding Man-made holocaust Mind-deceiving, soul-retreating Folly without cause Suddenly, there is silence in the sea of rumors No sound nor sight beyond matter, all sat in stupor And all the gifts I've known, lobotomized Withered out, torn apart, crystallized Neurons frozen, or so it seems Misdirected, I lay my plead Seeking guidance from madness, I'll cling to this Misconnected, mind effigies (I stand so) powerless (I stand so) overwhelmed Requiem of the insane, feasting on life Hath all my wisdom left me blind? Far from the reaches of brain The healing must come once again Powers that be all end the same All the same Neurons frozen, or so it seems Misdirected, I lay my plead Seeking guidance from madness, I'll cling to this Misconnected, mind effigies
