Flesh Constructed Obelisk Lyrics

A construction for the divine
A sign of our praise
A sign of our praise
Cemented with the blood of its slaves
A morbid signal to the evil that reigns

Flesh encases a grim sculpture
An horrific stalactite
Headstone for a mass grave
A decrepit landmark solitary

Visible from the horizon
Built upon ceremonial grounds
Constructed by the herd
Through their suffering raised
A sign of our praise
A sign of our praise

With each blood offering it grows
A sacramental gesture for the end
Towering over the enfeebled
A chilling reminder of their imminent demise

Mesmerizing those who seek it
Fearful yet filled with fascination

The sculpture becomes the new divine
Adulated by idolators speaking falsehood
A sign of our praise
A sign of our praise
A sign of our praise
A sign of our praise
Beckoned to join those prostrated
Coerced through fear into devotion
Beckoned to join those prostrated
Coerced through fear into devotion

Forced to worship a barbaric memorial
Huddled beneath its lengthening shadow
