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
