Temptation of Knowledge

Hide your face from the passerby Inside you find it strange You seldom see it fit to greet them Then with the stroke of lust You see no difference Between them and us You're an entity Breathing with purpose and worth Few among us attempt to see All of our beauty How I dismiss from my mind The vile ones around us What an act they put on for us They're just lost little children inside Their only hope to survive Is tricking us into believing they're God They are not God Just subpar frauds Show me your guts little one Will you retreat? Accept your defeat? Fight for what's right Or continue to run? Plant your feet firm in the ground No one respects a coward Then with the stroke of lust You see no difference Between them and us Long live the kingdom And sacrifice your king Long live the kingdom Now sacrifice your king Bring him to his knees And sacrifice your king Bring him to his knees Just to feel the glory I never liked this part Only loved what it gave But it's harder to tear apart Then to mend what we've made We're all infected With the craving Of being dark No, we can't run I'd rather starve Plant your feet firm in the ground We're going home now We lift our heads Unearthing the truth to grow Fostering this place That we will call home I'm not afraid to see where we will go We're going home now
