lyrics

And so your past has made a sudden appearance
Suppress the fear and keep it locked up inside

Decisions made with the lack of a conscience
Stand on the corpses of your fractured mind

Turn back the clocks
And reset the timer
Stay here watch it all over again
Live your life in a loop
Disciples recycled
Once blind pretend to let them in
You are both everything and nothing
Cloak and dagger take the knife from my back
Cast them out
Drag them back in again
Spin a web of lies to keep them keen

Another servant
Another vessel
Another forced to their knees made to pray
False god
False prophet
With words like poison make them think what they're doing is right

Under the mask
A serpentine face concealed
A silent voice screaming to the void
Don't lift the veil
Don't let them see
Don't let them in
Proselytist
You spread your will like disease
Pray on the broken and lure them in
A toothless husk barely holding together
Under their feet the ice slowly wearing thin

Ice cracks, it breaks
Another person dragged down to the darkness

Such pain, it takes
Lost to the void and spat back here among us

A soulless shape
Beyond the pale of the person who raised us

Take their mind
Take their mind and surely their body will follow
Another slave to your will another drone on their knees

Repeat the cycle
Repeat the cycle

Proselytist
