A Prayers Delirium

(Still a little unsure about the title, comments are appreciated )

And he who does not tolerate pain, he who doesn't accept its master
Shall forever walk in denial
He who prides himself in pure pleasure, where ego laughs at the core
His will and only
His reign, bestowed from thy heaven
He that walketh as indifferent
Shall forever be stained as
A blind old savage

Expand this lineage
And, expect the rats to swarm the streets
Bring thy plagues
Let them walk
Let them feel the misery
Let their false essence rot
For we will watch
From afar
As this grand circus unfolds

Tighten his shroud
Cast him in the void
Give him the sweet extract
Drown him in its vortex
And when fear is set
And thy scream echoes
Only then shall he
Who walked in delirium
Become nothing itself

And in nothing it bathes
The core of you
The entity in which we accept
Here we shall set you free
Can you feel again?
Can you read the words on the altar once more?
Does it even make sence, now that you are nothing?

Welcome
Stranger
This path now bestowed upon
For now we teach
For here we are brothers
Through the veil truth doth shine
In thy thermal mind

Hi, Eccer. This is a complex poem (meaning). However, there's some good poetry, particularly in the 2nd and 3rd stanzas, which stands out to me.

At first the meaning seemed a bit like a labrynth. After taking time, pondering, and "listening" closely (which is sometimes necessary with poetry), a picture began to take shape. Then the words written came to have meaning rather than seeming a "play on words." The meaning which I take from this has a lot of scriptural (bible) backing or implication. Am I right about this? If not, then the meaning I have gotten from it does not fit. I will be happy to share what I "perceive" from my point of view if you wish--glad to. However, if there is no such backing to the poem, it means I have misinterpreted the poem according to my own frame-of-reference . . . Let me know!

Love it! But like Frankie, I still need to digest it a little more. Soooo I may be back a slightly later time...
But as much as anything (for now), I madly-love the concept!

You are very right in this being biblical reminiscent. I wanted this to be kind of a... lecture, something which was written before and forgotten. Something everyone should learn from. I guess my main inspiration for this is.. Orphaned Land.

And do you wish to share a bit about "Orphaned Land"?

Sure thing, I guess its more like the style they write in, which has inspired me lately. They have absolutely beautiful lyrics, and are one of my favourite bands nowadays. They play a unique composition of oriental music, mixed with prog metal. Similar to what Opeth does, but still fresh in their own way
