Disregarded foolish notions

Predetermined prostitution
Selling out to make it big
Gendered, soulless horrification
Getting greedy to feed the pig 

Horrifying landscape changes
Maintenance of status quo
Antagonistic soul estranges
Burning embers afterglow 

Disregarded foolish notions
Swept along by blood and greed
Fanciful and dark devotions
Haunt me now until I'm freed 

Set my soul for resurrection 
Save me from these dire straits
Bounded by a predilection 
Tumultuation this creates

Take me now into the darkness 
Hold me down until I scream
Fascination with the harkness
Close my eyes until I dream 

Disregarded foolish notions
Swept along by blood and greed
Fanciful and dark devotions
Haunt me now until I'm freed 

Take me now from this indulgence 
Take me to the doors of death
Feed me to the sweet effulgence 
As I take my final breath
