Destiny Of Culture lyrics
Song information
Artist: Prayer For Cleansing Album: The Rain In Endless Fall
Lyrics
A notion of divine right One life the pinnacle of all A vision of perfection By way of noble bloodlined birth Whispers of self-justification Provide constant assurance of authority Continuance with burnt offering Sacrifice to the altar of bloodlust - culture The essence of innocence flawed by corruption An angel in thine own eyes A devil in thine own right A bloodfed atrocity hailed as the paradigm of civility
Which is the savage beast? Is it instinct? death as a necessity of survival? Rather a simple act of domination Murderous pride in development as Beauty dies
Tears soak the tainted soil Cried to germinate a hope for the growth Of compassion Violence becoming a slave for the effects of...violence How does it end? Does our lofty vision fade into the earth?
A fall from grace For our seeming seraphic stature? Or do we rebuild? A new foundation for the future
Our choice fast approaches Acceleration to a possible apocalyptic end With hope of emergence of humanistic Inner beauty I prepare for the assured destiny of culture
