By the Flesh - Neuraxis

This cage, cold and abused*

Once was the tool for power

Physical dominance/the means to remain superior

Potential above the common

Focused psychological state

Devoted to a quest/this urge to perform

Exorcise the demons

This ambition within to attain purity

Grown into an enemy/God-like obsession

Immaculate, flawless, and complete

Those efforts to reach this state of perfection

Grown into an entity/godless obsession

Lead through the pulse/confront mortality

A race against time/driven by the flesh

Persevere, the passion and desire

A flame so fierce

Has blurred the path, blinded by the fire

Blinded by the flesh

Suddenly, deception appears as a malformation to the being

Unknown to suffering, the metabolism into crisis

Now a victim of imperfection

The functions no longer respond

Control is lost

Substances deeply infused

To counter this disease

They have yet to comprehend

Machines of science

Weakening the structure

Syndrome of the century

Unknown to suffering, the mind goes into crisis

This life, so fragile

Hangs by a thread

Awaiting his fate

Destroyer of morals/rebellion of the body

Organic defiance/betrayed by the flesh
