Reduced To Mere Filth

Album: Genesis (2007)

  • Over time in a world where religion has dispersed
    Modern times have shown these connections to slowly deteriorate
    With empires alleging their holy books to have absolutely no flaws
    All accepting everything in its deceitful print
    They pursue to interpret these pages
    To gather aspiration and formulated belief
    Their community now only falls from expanding socialism
    A divided population disposed
    One half putting their Gods to rest now to only praise the antagonist against of what they once worshipped
    His words cradle his followers
    While the other half being sealed out of the world they once knew out of pure ignorance
    Knowing their fate they relinquish themselves
    Hundreds upon thousands take on religious suicide
    A religious populace reduced to mere filth Writer/s: Brent Riggs, Jonathan Davy, Ravi Bhadriraju, Stephen Robert Thompson
