The Collector and His Construct

Into steep stairs leading above
The pawn is moved
Wearing his reverence as an adornment
Forged from manuscripts

Adorned in flowers
The apostle gives birth to the skies
For the obedient
Golden pillars as pediments will rise

Into deep waters flowing below
The venturer is thrown
Wearing his insurgency as a weight
Cast in heresy

Iconoclastic, the zealot is drowned
Orgiastic, the libertine is scorned
Adored in flowers
The apostle gives birth to the skies
For the obedient
Golden pillars as pediments will rise

There in shrines, under signs
By dogma paralyze
In between golden walls
Of the collector and His construct

Minds grow stems to the sky
Under the promise of eternal fire
In abundance in golden halls
Of the collector and His construct

Upheave the philanthropist
The believer dressed in gold
Contributor to the greater good
Cleansed in honey and milk

Cast down the recipient
The apostate that umbra dressed
Malefactor to the greater good
By the ankle, weighed down

Iconoclastic, the zealot is drowned
Orgiastic, the libertine is scorned
Adored in flowers
The apostle gives birth to the skies
For the obedient
Golden pillars as pediments will rise

There in shrines, under signs
By dogma paralyze
In between golden walls
Of the collector and His construct

Minds grow stems to the sky
Under the promise of eternal fire
In abundance in golden halls
Of the collector and His construct
