Eternal Kingdoms, Pt. 1

Fighting before my very eyes
 Is the true self and the ego
 Reconcile within
 Or the masochist will win
 Impose my will, forget my sins
 What bares the better fruit?
 Enlightened but ignorant
 Ashamed by existence?
 But no one knows the truth
 With hope dies dignity
 But what is pride worth to the dirt?
 Yet were the burdened
 Like fate of maggots to the sky
 Life is the spider to the fly
 Is there a purpose?
 Without the evil
 How can we ever truly know the good?
 Fighting before my very eyes
 Is the true self and the ego
 Reconcile within
 Or the masochist will win
 Impose my will, forget my sins
 Will I ever know myself?
 Are we even meant to know?
 Will they forgive, for all I've done?
 Can this chrysalis be broke?
 Crawl from the soil to the sun
 Until the transformation comes
 Imago flies, cast off these binds
 Transcend this shell
 There is no afterlife, just look around were already in hell
