Method Of Existence

Brian Oliveri

Lyric
Decades proclaiming nothing
existence industrial revolution
Livelihood dependent wealth
tragic irony retribution
Practical creation force
tolerance ignoble control
Faith acceptance glory
personal instincts toll
Circumvent logical exceptions
vacuum of human thought
Equivalents tribal mystics
dominating authorities taught
Enshrined humanity absolute
souls for sale and bought
Erected superior means
inspiration borrowing peasant
Distorted primitive rational
history making present
Idol consciousness emotions
triumphant and successful pleasant
