Deprivation

Naked, dusty, and scorched by the sun
My age is not apparent
I'm alone as everyone
Forget who I was
From my home I have run
Perhaps I follow in the footsteps of some holy one

For the sake of my transcendence
I deny my body's wants
Strip desire's authority to dictate my thoughts
For the sake of my transcendance
I deprive myself of you
Now I am alone and I can say my life is true

Ragged, rugged is my life in these woods
Pain is my code of honor
Hunger my pursuit
Nasty, brutish is the life I have chose
To seek my salvation I have shred my princely clothes

For the sake of my transcendence
I deny my own name
Strip myself of everything
And lay my past away
For the sake of my transcendence
I deprive myself of me
Now I am free to know my true identity

(Guitar solo)

Starving, bleeding, master of misery
I am the commander of my sacred poverty
My ribs, they protrude
My eyes lie deep inside
Their sockets as I hold my breath
And minutes trickle by

For the sake of my transcendence
My life hangs by a thread
Just a morsel of wild grain
Keeps me from lying dead
For the sake of my transcendence
I deprive myself of life
Now I cast my doubts upon this solemn enterprise
