Ozark Shaman - Cursed with Consciousness

Strayed from the path of earthly instincts
Locked into this new moral cage
Living in filth that we consume and purvey
no desire to deviate
Just taught to hate
our own mankind
And the creatures of the earth

Redemption
in question
There is nowhere to run

Onward to the end
that they cannot see
this lethal path
is such a waste

Cursed with the myth of destination
staring into infinite
while some may only live to suffer
I know that they choose how to be
Behold the depths of earth's conception
see it for its divinity
its a symbol, of a destiny
that which we must hold

The embers burning
the winds that blow,
Nature has shown me
all I need to know

You are cursed with consciousness
So take the worst and make the best
some will suffer in the meantime
when all comes halting, to a dead end
the pain will descend
til you come to find
that you have been blind
So make your last stand

Now what becomes of this existence
when I left behind myself
and lost all sense of separation
from the rest of the world
