Misshapen Intent

Anacrusis

Wandering aimlessly

Stricken with grief

Self-hatred overflowing

It's eating away

It's eating away

Obstructing virtue

Overwhelming and growing

The enduring might of hatred

Obscuring the strength of love



There are some who live deriving pleasure

From others' anguish

And mental distress

Complete selfishness

Provides a purpose

Compelling us to digress

The enduring might of hatred

Obscuring the strength of love



Tainting the innocent

With spiteful contempt

Tainting the innocent

A shallow, misshapen intent



Oblivious to our hardship

Rehearse the solemn ritual



Oblivious to our hardship

Rehearse the solemn ritual



Wandering aimlessly

Stricken with grief

Self-hatred overflowing

It's eating away

It's eating away

Obstructing virtue

Overwhelming and growing

The enduring might of hatred

Obscuring the strength of love



Tainting the innocent

With spiteful contempt

Tainting the innocent

A shallow, misshapen intent
