"Seek And You Shall Destroy" lyrics

"Seek And You Shall Destroy"

If gods are strong
And cities fraught
Then how am I still here?
In fits and starts
Speak underground
Let's kid with hidden mirrors

Yes, I'm straying
No, I'm breaking off
For other worlds
So it's an evening's drill
Disabused by mob
And magazine

Seek and you shall destroy me
Seek and you shall destroy me
To faces form
A victor's sonnet
To faces, our night comes
To an early close
In miniature of stark
And sweet repose

Sling and arrows kite
A priestly psyche
Yet here lies Calvary
By telescopic ark
And mason's mark
An aperture drums asleep

To those undaunted
Those unwanted
Lost as well as wrought
You're in a tranquil spot
Turning, turning to nowhere aught

Seek and you shall destroy me
Seek and you shall destroy me
So libertine climb
And brigantine sign
The Elohim for peace

Seek and you shall destroy, you shall destroy me
Seek and you shall destroy, you shall destroy me
Oh, mystic blackguards
Go with glass hearts
And brace with better shield
