Further and Farther

A shrine enshrouded — in a darkness out of view
Divine and clouded — a brilliant scarlet hue
It’s time to paint a different picture — to start anew
A hidden passageway
Trapped in a moment in time
Away from the light of day, a symbol of man’s decline
How far from the truth? Further and farther
How far from the proof? Further and farther away
A courtesy given, a prison we live in
A symbol of man’s decline
The illusion of sight, what’s wrong and what’s right
A blind eye still blinking
Nothing can satisfy
The thirst for greed, the feeling of need
But how can you justify
Such colloquial abnormality
How far from the truth?
Further and farther
Have I allowed others to push me down?
Further and farther
Further and farther — how far from the proof?
Further and farther — where are my brothers?
Further and farther away
Comfort is the enemy
Climbing the precipice
The only way to escape this regime
This blood red obelisk
Will crumble before us, washing our hands clean
Nothing can satisfy
The thirst for greed, the feeling of need
But how can you justify such colloquial abnormality
Comfort is the enemy
Comfort is the enemy
Comfort is the enemy
A symbol of man’s decline
