Were you not humble
not submissive?
Would you not bend your knee?
Did you question
or object
to the word of the many?
Had you a vision of your own?

Saint of the damned
Icon of the rejected
Primeval insurgent
Ascend O' Morning star
Ascend

"How art thou fallen from heaven, O' day-star, son of the morning
How art thou cut down to the ground, that didst cast lots over the nations
For thou has said in thine hear, I will ascend into heaven
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God
I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High"

Man has been reared by the four errors
and never saw himself other than imperfectly
Such is then the pleasure of the common herd
to quench their envious thirst in misery

    One of my favorites from The Adversary. Uses Lucifer as a source of rebellious inspiration, not to mention interprets biblical passage (Isaiah 14:12) through song.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
