Origin
Deprive Lyrics

I wander off alone
Feeling out of place in this place of contempt, I set off alone searching for something more fulfilling.

This temple of contempt is not my home
This unforgiving place I find myself is not where I belong, I crave for a welcoming home.

Here I burn against my will
Against my own will, I am compelled to live under the oppressive effects of this place that causes me to suffer.

By obligations underneath the dome
The weight of my duties and obligations keep me trapped under the dome of oppression.

I am DEFILED
Every word you've spoken to me has made me unclean, and has led me to feel alienated from the world.

By every word you planted in my head
The words you fed me have left me feeling corrupted and mistaken.

I was denied
I was not allowed to know the truth about the world, and instead was tricked into believing something deeply flawed.

The possibility to see that GOD IS DEAD
I was never given the chance to consider the idea that there is no higher power at work, and that the concept of God is just a myth.

YOU - took my soul away
You took away my sense of self and replaced it with your own beliefs, causing me to feel lost and disoriented.

I - can not find a reason
I am unable to rationalize or understand how religion continues to persist, despite the pain and misery it causes.

WHY - religion is alive
I question why religion is still something that people cling to despite the pervasive harm and oppression it can bring.

THE ORIGIN OF SORROW
I believe that religious dogma and the harmful effects it can have are at the root of our greatest struggles and the pain that they bring.

I wander off alone
Despite the struggles of my journey, I feel myself getting closer to a true sense of liberation and joy.

I´ve broken free from all my sins
I no longer feel bound by the restrictions and shame associated with religious doctrine, and am free to live without fear of judgment.

It´s coming closer
I feel a sense of hope and anticipation as I move towards greater understanding and enlightenment.

The liberation from my needles and pins
I am now finding release from the burdens that weighed down upon me, and no longer feel held back by the pain of my past mistakes.

I see things clearer
My journey has brought me a greater sense of clarity and understanding, enabling me to move forward and live a more abundant life.

And still
Despite the progress I have made, I still feel your toxic presence looming in my thoughts.

You´re waiting by my side
Your harmful influence lingers constantly, reminding me of the many ways you have hurt and hindered me.

And still
Despite my growing strength, I still feel the weight of my trauma and the pain that you have wrought upon me.

You´re poisoning my mind
Your harmful influence has left deep roots in my psyche, poisoning my thoughts and making it difficult to find peace.

You´re eating through my heart
The pain you have caused continues to wear away at me, causing me to feel raw and vulnerable in my most private and personal moments.

I´ve HAD enough of GODS
After having been hurt and manipulated by many different religious beliefs, I have finally reached the point where I can no longer accept them as valid or true.

I´ve HAD enough of FAITH
I no longer wish to believe in something simply because someone has told me it is true, and instead choose to trust my own judgement and intuition.

With every prayer you recite
Seeing others continue to embrace religion despite its many harmful effects only reinforces my belief that it is utterly false and without merit.

The more I WANT TO DESECRATE
The more I see the way in which religion has been used to hurt and destroy people, the more passionately I despise it and feel drawn towards defiling its harmful principles.

Desecrate your church, your mind, your soul
I am now driven by a powerful desire to tear down the systems of oppression and religious dogma that have caused me so much pain and actively hurt so many others.

Your strongest will I will defile
I am no longer afraid of what you can do to me, and now seek to actively resist and uproot the harmful beliefs that have held me down for too long.

YOU - took my soul away
Despite all this, I still feel the pain and loss that came with being so deeply indoctrinated and manipulated by religious dogma.

I - can not find a reason
Despite my growing understanding and personal liberation, I still struggle to comprehend the appeal that religious beliefs hold for so many people.

WHY - religion is alive
I remain perplexed by the way in which religion continues to persist and enthrall so many people, despite its many flaws and limitations.

THE ORIGIN OF SORROW
I continue to see religious dogma as the root cause of many of our collective struggles and sorrows, and remain committed to challenging its harmful influence wherever I see it at work in the world.
