    Seminal

    by: Himsa

    Defy
    The rumors to whispers
    That makes a crass man bound
    Defy
    Their break in mercy
    To consume the myth through flawlessness
    It's been discovered
    What they've exposed
    Harbors the failures
    To what we own
    And they comply
    To justify
    Those shifting winds of conformity
    This is a make or break elation
    A razor to writs slit recovery
    The struggle to botch
    Impulsive structure from a slow-handed conspiracy
    It Bears to all exploitation
    Empowered but uncovered
    Seminal
    Seminal
    Near and dear to our hearts desire
    Inception to reign with havoc fist
    Call the bluff
    On smoking guns
    When first loves turn fatality
    Defend
    Life's note and fact
    The tension to tame the iconoclast
    Defend
    Life's torn out pages
    And reverse their sands in the hourglass
    Bury the hatchet in the name of progression
    They're living on their knees
    We walk the line
    Stripped and severed
    While kindred thoughts build unbearable
    Seminal
    Seminal
    Near and dear to our hearts desire
    Inception to reign with havoc fist
    Call the bluff
    On smoking guns
    When first loves turn fatality
    Out of step or out of reach
    Rapture for the fallen
    A piece of them is a part of me
    But their voices are left unheard
    They never scream
    They never starve
    They never bleed
    They never suffer
    And they will never ever understand
    Deceive
    Those jubilant whores
    With the delicate sense in delivery
    Deceive
    The crashing bores
    Who've left us hung out to dry and die
    Part the seas
    And pave your way
    To the sirens of new noise
    Let the lace be the bait
    As the past as the past portrays
    While you leave the enemy entertained
    We'll always scream
    We'll always starve
    Seminal
    Always bleed
    Always suffer
    We are the sentiment
