The Odour of Sanctity 歌词

Entranced in devout piety Blessed through Christlike suffering Miraculously inflicted Sacred wounds give way to light The mystery of the cross Transcending through time To bring common man Into divine pain Carved in human flesh A testament to the word of God Ages wandering through scripture Knees bent in endless prayer Worlds apart from carnal indulgence Yearning for the love of the Nazarene Holy advent Apparitions invade my sleep Bearing iconic torment Extremities Transfixed with ancient iron As seraphim weep at my feet A violent final strike thrusts me Back into consciousness Delusional afflictions embodied Endure in infamy Wounds left forever agape Impervious to disease Ambrosial odours emanating Luring the masses into fervent belief Sheep, so easily deceived Eagerly seeking His omnipotence upon the earth Pious psychosis floods the mind Yielding self-inflicted crucifixion Vigor deranged Drove the nails in deep Instantly rupturing tendons A miracle defiled Fraudulently wrought A martyr to none
