Remnants by Apotelesma Lyrics

Far removed from the wretched creed of man
That slave-like “crown of creation”
I reject, I deny, I reflect, I despair
A curse upon all of man’s works
May his empires crumble to dust

Here I stand for the last time
Blindfolded and deaf
I challenge this crooked world
That has been crowned with thorns of gold

I have never believed in their light
Because gloom has surrounded me long ago
As mind, body and soul were once one
Now divided and gone astray

Bury my dust secluded
So no one may ever find
Remnants of a life
So depraved
My end is already certain
Yet I shall not yield

Long are my nights
And heavy my thoughts of late
But blinded as I might be
And greedy as I ever was
I will now conquer every mountain
And cast off every burden
