[Lyric] Messiah (Pillars of Cacophony)

What made you think it was god?
Did you not hear what I just said about the brain's ability to perceive what it wants to?

In the name of his holy majesty
The god emperor of men
I thrice judge the excommunicate traitoris
By actions, associations and by beliefs

You were a dying man on a battlefield
Surrounded by dead comrades
You were having an epiphany of the futility
Of the life you had led

Surely you can think of another explanation for this vision, Uriah
A more likely explanation that does not require the supernatural?

Forceful imposition of beliefs
Results in ubiquitous agony
Underlying tenets may be sound
Yet man leaves shattered worlds and deceivers being crowned
I heard the voice of god and saw his face
He bore me up and set me into a deep slumber
And when I awoke, my wounds were healed
I need no other explanation

In the name of his holy majesty
The god emperor of men
I thrice judge the excommunicate traitoris
By actions, associations and by beliefs

Didn’t you just tell me of the bloody slaughters perpetrated by crusaders?
Doesn't that make you no better than the holy men you were telling me about?

The difference is: I know I am right!

It is a dangerous road you travel
To deny humanity, a thing will only make them crave it all the more
And if you succeed in this grand vision of yours, what then?
Beware that your subjects do not begin to see you as a god

Forceful imposition of beliefs
Results in ubiquitous agony
Underlying tenets may be sound
Yet man leaves shattered worlds and deceivers being crowned
