"Reciprocal Repulsion" lyrics - MISERY INDEX

Each from one and all
Born from dust of worlds beyond
In transcendental arc
Through age of ice, sturm und drang

Opposites in arrogance, embrace the path insane
Severed ties and broken lives, corrupt with disdain
Atavistic oracles of wrath and mistrust
Absurdities and fallacies evolve and erupt

Victor and vanquished, spew vitriol through the air
Reciprocal repulsion, a zero-sum end
Victor and vanquished, spit venom and despair
Reciprocal repulsion, a zero-sum end

One by one, they propagate their prophecies obscene
Pseudo-seraphs salivate and pick the carcass clean
Risible and powerless, they turn upon themselves
Rabid dogs of cowardice, drag them all to Hell

The path of our deliverance
Leads into the void
Serpentine and silent
Circuitous, slow burn

Victor and vanquished, spit venom and despair
Reciprocal repulsion, a zero-sum end

Time
After time
The pressure of the wheel confines

Victor and vanquished, spit venom and despair
Reciprocal repulsion, a zero-sum end

We stand (Powerless)
Powerless, as common dreams die
By the hammer of our hubris

It's a requiem
For the heresies of man
As each and all face their death alone

We stand powerless
Powerless, as common dreams die
By the hammer of our hubris

It's a requiem
For the heresies of man
As each and all face their death alone
