the emerald mountain needs no worshippers
they will accept all
the emerald mountain needs no worshippers
those who make the pilgrimage look on with envious eyes
mischief and ambition that they cannot disguise
abandon your pride before you make the climb
the truth will leave them feeling unworthy
hope will bleed them of their greed
a sinner ascends
a saint crucified by the peaks
godhood is a blind aspiration
immortality berths humility
imperfect believers make perfect servants
zealous devotees the perfect sacrifices
piece by piece integrity crumbles
grain by grain truth is lost to the wind
your greatest lie must be sacrificed
the emerald mountain loves broken things
