By those who prefer to eat dirt
We've gladly exempt, we are racked with contempt
And we happily wish you this hurt

My skull is on fire with barbs and black spires
My synapses shriek in the flames
Yet we reel with desire though chocked by coarse wire
We've been loosed by our raging disdain

I'm gone, God, help me, I'm done, I'm done
Nothing can stop me, I'm done, I'm done

No fear, no doubt, I've bottomed out
I've lost myself I'm letting go
No pride, no me, I've set them free
Lost my mind and now I know

No pain, no death, they're put to rest
We leave them here, we close the door
No earth, no man, now take my hand
'Cause nothing matters

Oh, the stage that we soil, the plans that we foil
And the joke that we play on the world
And you drown in the oil, all wrapped up in the coils
And crushed under the stones that you've hurled

Still we march through the tombs through the darkness and gloom
And we shatter the columns of bone
And the world she breaks for the lives that she takes
She weeps as she dies all alone

No fear, no doubt, I've bottomed out
I've lost myself, I'm letting go
No pride, no me, I've set them free
Lost my mind and now I know

No pain, no death, they're put to rest
We leave them here we close the door
No earth, no man, now take my hand
'Cause nothing matters anymore

The world is a husk to be peeled back and torn
My body, a shell that now breaks
How I long to escape from the chains that I've worn
And hasten my greatest escape

And when I breathe my very last
Don't shed a tear for me
Discard the body that once was my prison
For I'll have been set free

And when the trumpets call us home
And I am no longer bedded by pain
Our tears will be forever dried
For the author of life knows my name

So we trample the hoards of the pointless and blank
We will die for the truth in our hearts
No force that exists will steal us from his hands
Nothing will tear us apart

Though the mirror is dull, the reflection obscured
We look beyond the obtuse
And the world weighs down beating us to the ground
But her efforts are of little use

The anointed one has purchased our souls
Death is battered and lifeless before me
The truth rains down for the children of Christ
And the truth has set us free

And through it all we rise when we fall
Though the road grows more narrow before me
Though we ache, though we cry, never break, never die
The one truth there is sets us free

By those who prefer to eat dirt
We've gladly exempt, we are racked with contempt
