Lyrics:

Seek Within to reach a state of
Consciousness that lies within
The self, yourself, Godself, Listen!
There is no difference
Still! Lost in translation
Blind to all creation
Right there in front of you
Go burn in Hell
Is repentance form of regret
Created by the mind
to not allow us to reconnect
With what was stolen
And where is the future
Why do all good deeds end up
Forsaken? All reduced to shit
Forsake yourselves

The purpose in you
Just think it all threw
Where does it lead you?
Straight to the grave
Join the infectious waste of a waste of a…
(waste of a! you fucked mother earth)
You fucked mother earth
And she gave you birth
What does that say about you?
Swear to yourselves that you all won’t be slaves
to the hand that feeds you.

When was the last time you spoke to the sun
that is here to sustain you?
The stars in the sky and the streams on the land
Are all laughing at you
A silly shitty speck of dust
Too scared to realize it
Afraid to die cause guilt has eaten you up
Deny it!

Hey! Take of your masks and show me your faces
im here just like you
Surrounded by weapons, guns
Relax no one wishes to hurt you
Everyone strives for the peaceful center
That you seek deep within
The perfume you wear to cover your stench
What has it cost you?

It cost you your dreams
Now get on your knees
and wait for the agony
find a religion, defend it
like you were destined for the abbacy
walk down a path of clichés and decays
full of lies and hypocrisy
Just let others be
Don’t judge us for
not missing out what you’ll never see

Seek
Deep
Deep
Deep
Within
