The Empty Vessel. A reigning handful compel reverence, In stagnant fear of heretical purgatory the conquered execute fruitless prayer, The noise indulges egos delusion, A beast devouring intellect.
An accusing viewer strains a tortious finger upon the worshipped,
Every Knight a knave, Every Lord a vagabond depraved, Every King a maniac feasting on the dead. Beneath another dread upon the ship of worse, A priestly horror, Every piety of religion a deception, Every reverend a mockery, Every Idol beguiles in ascetic magnificence. To abominations depths the ships of the worst dive, Every currency a debt, Every doctrine a lie, Every subjugated joy a blight. Mighty wild roams the thoughtful mind, When the depraved act is natural, When despot chaos is defended, When icy murder is a heroes work. Every baffled bigot strains to spread slaughter, No trinket gold pays the subjugated, They demand the precious innocent, Abolish this elitist sect of worship, Let zealous flames consume all trace, Justice evaporates in sovereign pleasure, All innocent thirst with the betrayer’s empty vessel. So drain their sea of commerce and leave their ships to rot upon the axioms of the land.
