Lyrics: Meshuggah. ObZen. Obzen.


A state of perfection,immersed in filth
equilibrium obnaited
pure in devotion to all thing unwell
this sweet zen of our ill condition sustained

a new belief-system
salvation found in vomit and blood
where depravation,lies,
corruption,war and pain is god

balance
harmony found in the sickly,the vile
unflinching eyes,joyous and gleeming
intense in their need to watch things die

a new belief-system
salvation found in vomit and blood
where depravation,lies,
corruption,war and pain is god

decay.disgrace.disgust-our state of zen

the grime of contempt and degeration,
stikly,foul and pungent
- the sediment of our creation
we flourish in this bloodred soil

(Thanks to Giuseppe for these lyrics)
