zao - the superior creed lyrics

long i searched what the claim to see, and the beauty derived thereof
asking why i felt like a menace, to them - who everything solved
my differences seemed racial, though ancestors i then lacked
until the orchard of mind opened, and i stood completely aback

empty and enlightened, i drank of the miracles
torn in the metaphysical, the void became a creed
as i lost all the addictions, and triumphed in deterministic rule
propounding world perversion, in the eyes of the herd

no purity, except a tidal hatred
no sorrow, though an ego degraded
and love... i miss this false heaven

let it embrace, no meaning of life
never repent, no meaning in lies
faith signed with crossbones
ecstacy... all meaning dies!

insanity, if i by thee could be characterized
but my laugh is not that of a madman
it is the fall of one to wise
darkness, if thee were to be my palfray
but with fiction even evil died
hence i quashed my last hospice

this is the creed trancending all minds, the end of malformed tales
reaching for every thought misbegotten, feel the void of reality's nails
