IMMORTAL EXECUTION - IV The Burden Of Respect Lyrics

Another advocate
Under abhorrent
Means of deception
Defiled by perpetuation
In constant tread of regression
Ensued by oppression and hate
And becomes
A catalyst of rage
Becomes
A catalyst of rage

Between a fleeting glimpse
And fully cognizant
Lies an egregious attempt
To eradicate this
Restraining the threads of patience
Sewn by fallacious intent
And is met
With a burden of respect
Met with a burden of
Respect

He's derelict
Genuflect
Bathed in a cesspool
Of arrogance
Consumed whole by the malicious intent
And becomes a servant of
Corruption or
Belligerent at best
Become belligerent at best

Another casualty without absence of an obscurity
Self Defamation in thrall of propriety
A flaccid tantrum
Profusely obstinate
An egomaniacal attention
Has now become Opiate

This path you're on
Stained in red
Led you astray
Harbored with regret and bleak sorrow instead
Captive of flagships
Burden and Dread
Dragged to an oceans depth of lament
Anchored in cognitive dissonance
The fathoms below now become home
To currents of strife absent the will to re-emerge

Under bridges burned
And lessons unlearned
You stand in wake
Where you once stood firm
With matches of malice
And intent of the foulest respect
You'll find only then your Burden begins

You'll find only then
Your Burden begins

With matches of malice
And intent of the foulest respect

You'll find only then
Your Burden begins
