Lyrics for Nostrum

Jealous vengeful fabrication Halo-crowned invention Sacred universal lie Artificial, divine Great archaic obseletum A prevarication, deceitfully contrived Synthesized, fictitious Dreamed up by remote prototypes Opiate for the yearning mass Administered, applied Three letter word for monster Empty promises of healing Profit aptly buried in the lies An industry rapt with avarice Medicatiing blind it's acolytes Useless panacea Imaginary cure-all To you we cry and supplicate Into your hell we fall Blind belief in their eyes Forever atoning Credulousy waiting Gazing to the skies
