About the Artist
Lyrics
[Verse 1] I'm closer to the Golden Dawn Immersed in Crowley's uniform Of imagery I'm living in a silent film Portraying Himmler's sacred realm Of dream reality I'm frightened by the total goal Drawing to the ragged hole And I ain't got the power anymore No I ain't got the power anymore [Verse 2] I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes Living proof of Churchill's lies I'm destiny I'm torn between the light and dark Where others see their targets Divine symmetry [Pre-Chorus] Should I kiss the vipеr's fang Or herald loud the death of Man? I'm sinking in thе quicksand of my thought And I ain't got the power anymore [Chorus] Don't believe in yourself Don't deceive with belief Knowledge comes with death's release Ah! Ah! [Verse 3] I'm not a prophet or a stone age man Just a mortal with potential of a superman I'm living on I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien Can't take my eyes from the great salvation Of bullshit faith [Pre-Chorus] If I don't explain what you ought to know You can tell me all about it On the next Bardo I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought And I ain't got the power anymore [Chorus] Don't believe in yourself Don't deceive with belief Knowledge comes with death's release Ah! Ah! Don't believe in yourself Don't deceive with belief Knowledge comes with death's release Ah! Ah!
