Thou Shall Have Empathy
02:25

If I were helpless in a bed
lying there near half-dead
would you show me empathy
it's in that book that you read
that golden rule it is said
to show thee empathy
so before you break bread
eat the flesh of the dead
pick and choose teachings
like a grab bag of beliefs
this one law holds true
and all you have to do
have compassionate feelings
love yourself and your siblings

what you should trust in
what you should trust in
e-go-is-m no
al tru is m yes
what you should not say
what ev er they say
the prac tice for un
sel fish con cern is
what you should trust in
what you should trust in
with out with out you
hell or high water
al tru is m yes
al tru is m yes
you should strive to be altruistic
and realize you will never attain it
it's a concept you will never accomplish
let us be realistic
there is a reason we're put here
and it is for one another

do not cause or embrace dispositions of a horror fiction
which might cause unpleasant realism ramifications
in this reality you should adopt the ability
of acting faithful and honest physically and mentally
faithfullness to thee
honesty to thee
dishonesty should flee
unfaithfulness should flee

Dark of The Covenant

I'm not saying
I'm not saying
I'm not saying you're wrong
no
no
no
I'm just saying
in this reality
you are deceived by your own hypocrisy
time to evolve
be empathetic
in a manner that is prophetic
The dark of the covenant light
You should not open up your eyes
You should not step into the light
The dark of the covenant lies
|

inflicting harm on those of who
are much-more less help- less than you
is something you should not do
would you want it done to you
live you life upon the rule
unto others -is a virtue
know before you deal that deathblow
you will reap that which you sew
thou shall not abuse
neither rape nor torture too
live you life unto others
as they would do to you, (Hey!)
If you live your life by the sword
You will die by the sword

most important thing that
most important thing that
most important thing that
you can provide
a sense of being loved
feeling of being loved
now give your kid a hug
while you've got time
enourage her praise
and make her feel safe
ask about her day
but keep in mind
consistency above
now give your kid a hug
enforce your rules with love
be firm but kind
parents shall be persons that create for a child
a stable active positive role and lifestyle
a home of nurishment --- a stable environment
a moral circumference

and so this creed was taught to me by the logical minds of the 21st century
indicative bush voice within a fire, from up way up high on mount Sinai
did not appear in a blaze of glory, don't be confused, but we speak in absolutes
there is no bush voice with a fire, from up way up high on mount Sinai
these are the laws of morality
these are commands that really make sense to me
it's up to us to make a reality
of these guidelines for all of humanity

shall not kill
killing is permitted only for the defense of the innocent and for feeding them
thou
shall not kill ourselves

A boring causal circumstance.
It's not that I believe in you.
It's just a way to wade through time--another hole to dig.
Just take a chance, dehumanize.
The only hope is to hurt.
The only way to feel alive.
The only hope is no hope at all.
Labors of man will not survive.
The greatest of hurts is hope,
A dull, prefabricated pain.
The only hope is loss of all hope.
Labors of man will not remain..
One can't relive
The past, a void.
The path of death
Lies in the mind.
Lies of the mind.
The death of paths.
Avoid the past
One can't relive.
