Necrosis - Amicable Decadence Lyrics

And so the gods blew life into beings at first light
Sowing the seeds of pending evolution
And feasibly dominant we wander this rock
The god-given gift to mankind, the earth
Illiterate until the gods gave words
Numerate until the gods gave logic
Mythos before logos
Theos before ethos

Congregations ensnares the wealth of kindness
Through augury and empowerment
In the name of the gods, thou shalt kneel
Confess thy sins vow to them deities
And now you become a man of the gods

With houses of prayer erected
Starts the time of decadence
Apocryphal scripts appears
Unmatched by other litany
Unseen prophets reiterate
Theories of prescience

Invention of all-being seems imperative
Somehow the misconception is compulsory
At the greatest cost than anything else
We unleash the tyranny upon ourselves

Illiterate until the gods gave words
Numerate until the gods gave logic
Mythos before logos
Theos before ethos

Inquisitorial guidance to a path of illumination
Some predominant celestial matters
Enthralling and vastly incomprehensible
Sentiently guarding the act of man
Mocks the very integrity of humankind

And so the gods blew life into beings at first light
Sowing the seeds of pending evolution
And seemingly dominant we wander this rock
The god-given gift to mankind the earth

Did gods descent onto our plane for pious blind fascination
Or
Did we enslave the evolved mind of man dreading the capacity
