So I’ll keep on turning lead into gold
Just to see what chaos will give me in return
Entertain me; angels - I’ve made em up for you
Is only shapes and angles I’ve made to fool the world

So I’ll keep on stomping down this mountain till it’s nothing
Till it’s value isn’t worth what it was when I found it

To break and burn and observe the skies while they’re clouded
Seems Im only in the ‘present moment’ if I’m hypnotized by some fire

So entertain me; faithful - dance within the sands again
I’ve gotten bored with brandishing scorpions, salt or pillars for your sacrificial offerings

And artificial penances, I’ve elevated and crowned jealousy as sacred and I’ve hardened the hearts of kings that didn’t meet my expectations yet

So call my name in case I’ve forgotten it
Build your towers into heaven because nothings ever gotten there

So build your arch ways and your altars in the garden with golden boxes
tell yourself that god is there

I’ve dressed myself in gold leaf, rosaries and scarlet
With holy water - gold chains, bells and pomegranates

Give me the best you have to offer
- Which aroma am I calling for?
Think a little test of faith is something that I want from you

So entertain me; malleable
Impress me in your derangement -
Scorching what is valuable
For which smoke is my favorite

I’ve made the winds for you to chase them
So emulate the angels, parlay within the chaos, babe
Everything’s for sale now ain’t it?

Clap and applaud my pillaged splendor and diamond treasures - gold, fine linen, bronze and silver with decorative cherubim
Deceptive
- hidden in the guise of a sweet wine - tempting you with an intoxication of spiritual awareness

I am - a perilous swamp where the lions take their piece and the bears want blood
Where the sinners don’t sleep in the lake of fire as it floods
Where the water reaches mountain peaks as it drowns the world below it

So sing for me; seraphim
Gamble with me; devils
Aberrations of aeons
Masquerading as divinity

Ive adorned ‘Jealous’ holy
Masked heaven where you wouldn’t see it
I’ve crowned the tree of life in thorns
and banished Adam out of Eden

The stars and planets align for me
- I’ve gotten bored of distorting and shaping ‘em to my will,
Convincing you, you aren’t the source

So prove to me that your discernment is more important
and I’ll hang the tree of life over your head as you’re reaching for it

Oblige me my inheritance
I’ll remind you your comeuppance
So follow me and I’ll give you apocalyptic imagery
The knowledge of good and evil brings revelation and epiphanies
Prophetic soliloquies
Of holy wars over religious beliefs

I am a perilous swamp
Where the fire is alive and it follows where you are
Where the sinners don’t sleep in a lake of fire as it floods
And the preachers all reach, but don’t make it very far

So pledge with me; flesh and blood,
I’ll tempt you with stones and offer kingdoms to you
If you bend the knee to me

So entertain me; faithful
It’s what your made for
Emulate the angels and praise the chaos that I’ve created

I’ve made the winds for you to chase them
A worthless promise
For those who tried to have it because they liked the way it sounded

I am that I am - a divine spark
Convincing you that you aren’t
